Score one for the Bicyclists.

Our own Randy is out there fighting the good fight. We’ve been chronicling this story as it develops here on DC. – City of Flagstaff Transit vs. Cyclist – City of Flagstaff vs – Cyclist Part 2 – Cyclists That Can: Randy and the Three Foot Law – The “three foot rule” made the evening [...]

I’m with Lance on this one.

Tony Kornheiser. I’ve pretty much had nothing good to say about the man since I was forced to endue his inane chatter on Monday Night Football. I was stoked when they replaced him with Jon Gruden. And now I somehow like him even less. Mr. Kornheiser is advocating vehicular assault, reckless endangerment, and quite possible [...]

The “three foot rule” made the evening news in Phoenix

Blowing up the spot. Our own Mr. Mason made the evening news. Advocacy. It just feels good. Video here: azcentral.com/video…. Embed below. May not load on machines running Internet Explorer.

The tranquilizing drug of gradualism

I don’t get serious very often, but do you know why you REALLY have today off? From the  Letter From a Birmingham Jail to the famous I Have a Dream speech to the rest of his oratory art…the motivation and the follow through to take on The Man is simply remarkable. It was one part vision [...]

Chattanooga drops the ball

From: Jiblogs Subject: Sometimes my city really sucks Bicyclist Hit, No Charges Against Car Driver Traffic Investigators with the Chattanooga Police Department have finished their investigation of a bicyclist hit at 100 W 20th Street Monday. Louis Oscar Milton, 65, was hit by a car as he rode his bike along the steet, suffering serious [...]

Driver who targeted cyclists gets probationary sentence

I don’t have a good way to kick off an article like this. Words like “psycho”, “wacky”, or “ridiculous” don’t seem to do it justice. A Bayfield man who used his pickup to run bicyclists off the road was given probation Thursday after pleading guilty to reckless endangerment and felony menacing. Todd Grooms, 41, wasn’t [...]

Five years

Dr. Thompson faces his destiny. The culmination of it all fell upon this man like a ton of bricks. And I, having seen a man likewise sentenced to five years incarceration for what he did to me with his automobile… I have little sympathy. A doctor convicted of assaulting two bicyclists by slamming on his [...]

Pop a round at a cyclist, get four months.

Erick R. dropped me an email about this one this morning. He’s got a post up over at Tuscon Bike Lawyer. Just makes you glad to be alive, don’t it? A former Asheville firefighter will spend 120 days in jail for shooting at a bicyclist, narrowly missing his head with a bullet that pierced the [...]

Ride of Honor tomorrow

It is always the cyclist’s fault.

Chris Woodyard is not getting a Christmas card from my family this year. [A] driver on the way to work struck a St. Mary’s County, Md., bicyclist earlier this month and killed him. . . The driver, a 20-year-old in her Honda Accord, told police she never saw the biker. But the accident might have [...]

Road Rage Trial

Not exactly recent news, but we’re not exactly a source for recent ’round these parts. More like day late and dollar short. Hey, we do what we can. You, dear reader, can expect nothing less than mediocrity and mid-pack finishes from the likes of us. But watch your back at the buffet table. I’ve seen [...]

Spreads Smooth Like Creamy Peanut Butter

So as of late I have been hi-jacking photos off of a friend of a friend of a distant long lost twice removed cousins web page. Most days when I get home from my salt mine I check to see what the hell the world is up too. Once upon a while ago I stumbled [...]
