I like to bust the balls of my co-workers about them not wearing helmets to work. One assclown (love ya, Malibu) brought his helmet in his backpack instead of on his head.

Crawford County goes big.
RAGBRAI has been banned from rolling through Crawford County.
Stinging from a $350,000 settlement paid to the widow of a RAGBRAI rider who died in Crawford County, the board of supervisors on Tuesday passed a resolution that prohibits the bicycle ride or “any event of like kind and nature.”
Crawford County officials [...]

The lunch post – Pad Thai #3 w/ deep fried tofu. Bangin’. All that and a pic. Good times.

Well said, sister.

This one is out of Seattle:
One bicyclist was killed and another was injured Friday afternoon in a collision with a dump truck in the city’s Eastlake neighborhood.
Two men in their 20s were apparently riding north on Eastlake Avenue toward the University Bridge when a dump truck making a right turn onto Fuhrman Avenue East crashed [...]

The neighborhood I live in has these big landscaped medians that separate traffic going one way from traffic going the other. I’m riding up the hill back to my place the other day, and this guys coming straight down the hill at me on another bicycle. He’s weaving around and I soon realize [...]

This just in via email.

The motorist appears to have made a U-turn in a parking lot and deliberately drove down a sidewalk on the south side of University, hitting the man on the [...]

Ok, so finally a story where the cyclist triumphs over the big truck. Kind of funny. Happened right on main street here in Bozeman. So…there I was…riding along. Light turns red. I stop, of course. I am sittin there waiting for the [...]

This is beginning to get really depressing. There have been a lot of emails and subsequent posts regarding accidents involving cyclists today. Looks like it’s about time to mix up a cocktail at the Drunkcyclist World Headquarters.

Jonny,
This is so terribly sad and horribly [...]

A Warwick man was killed yesterday afternoon while riding his bicycle along Route 1 south between Kings Factory Road and Posser Trail, the police said.
The accident happened around 4 p.m. when a gray Buick Rendezvous sport-utility vehicle traveling south on Route 1 veered off the road into the shoulder, fatally striking Frank J. Cabral, [...]

I doubt you guys want to become a place where cyclists are eulogized, but I thought I’d pass this story along. It seems to be getting out of hand in
Chicago (four cyclists killed in the last month), just like everywhere [...]

He ain’t lyin’. Check the story:
I was riding to work as a graduate research assistant for my PhD studies at UCLA at around 10:40am Tuesday morning (August 21, 2007). I was westbound on Wilshire preparing to make a [...]

Drunkcyclist contributor Erik B. has a damn good one in the Tucson Citizen. Excerpt below:

The Tucson Citizen was right to champion Tucson’s efforts to create new bike lanes (July 31 editorial “Pedaling away: new bike lanes”), but the Citizen missed the mark on Tucson’s “bike-friendly” status.
Tucson currently has a “gold” designation from the League [...]

Seems I got me a new friend in the Kansas City area.
Good news. That’ll match up well with the century farm my uncle is minding out that way. Yep, I got family out there. Generations of family.
I fired off Our Dear Tony an email earlier today, right about the same time I [...]

Yep. Bikes may be banned from the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail.
Some words:

The Forest Service suggests prohibiting mountain biking where our use is currently allowed on the CDNST. The proposed policy also singles out bicycling as an undesirable use that should be subject to additional scrutiny and restrictions. These include a burden of proof [...]

Moving the ball forward.
New bills passed by the Oregon Legislature will make an already bicycle-friendly Ashland even safer for those who choose to pedal. A bill was signed earlier last week that establishes a “share the road” license plate with the proceeds going to bicycle safety programs.
Another bill will create a safe passing law [...]
