BUY THIS T-SHIRT PLEASE! The teammates of Ali Delgado, who was hit by a car while riding her bike on 10/16, have made up these t-shirts to sell for her never-ending mound of medical bills that are piling up. You can order one online here. Ali has a long way to go. If you have [...]

Colorado High School Cycling League
From: The Ethnic A bit of good news, for a change of pace. http://www.denverpost.com/extremes/ci_16314083. From the article: Kate Rau hasn’t exactly reinvented the wheel. But she has taken a popular sport and created a new niche. It would seem the creation of a high school mountain bike racing league in a state such as Colorado [...]
Wilderness B = Wilderness with Bikes
This new Wilderness B = Wilderness with Bikes is starting to take off, like Snake Hawk’s VDB has a posse movement. I first came across it on the Facebook, and slowly have been able to see it gather some steam. From what I can tell this gang of intelligent people, are all about modifications to [...]
Bike Lanes
This vid is getting knocked around the interwebs. Not sure what I think of all of the issue presented yet. Well, not in the sense that I can artfully articulate them aside from simple stating: bikes belong. But, we all knew that much already. Two simple words with a whole lot of gloss. Anyway, get [...]
Never Forget 9-11.
It’s just too important.
The lone activist tried and failed to get a sign put up for a bike path.
About 5 months ago, I told the City of Mt. Vernon and the Mayor, Bud Norris, in a very professional, well written letter, that the very busy boulevard College Way is dangerous for cyclists, while there is a bike path that is a gorgeous green bike haven parallel to it, in fact, a short cut. [...]
Four years.
Today is my deathday. Raise a pint. Be careful out there. And keep the rubber side down.
Some Things I Think You Should Know
Thanks to the sketchiness that is craigslist, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon some tickets to see Tool in concert in Vegas this past weekend. The show was unreal. I hadn’t seen those guys in concert since 2003, and they’ve only gotten better since then. Now, I try not to get all Fanboy about [...]
F-you and the horse you rode in on…
I was chanting that yesterday after this driver got hell bent with me for being in the road on my bike. This lady slurping on her big drink in hand with a big ass bright straw was not liking my manual down the road going just under speed limit which is 25 mph- she decided [...]
ADOT State Highway Bicycle Safety Action Plan.
This showed up in my inbox today from Prairiejean with the request that we all “Please take the time to send in this survey, very easy and important to state your needs and count as a part of improvements.” From the website: The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is developing a State Highway Bicycle Safety [...]
Going somewhere?
Where I live right now is one of those small cities where no one uses a bicycle, or few enough to say no one. I cannot understand how or why so many cars and trucks go by the house. I’m not on a main highway. Sometimes, this constant barrage of traffic gets to me. [...]
Coward with a keyboard sitting in a tin can.
A few days ago my daughter was driving on L Street at 20th when she changed lanes to go around a car with emergency flashers on. As she did, so, too, did a biker ‘sharing’ the same lane of traffic. The biker suddenly started pounding on her car, yelling at her loud enough that a [...]
