Sweet Nothings
Revisiting Arthur one day while eating tacos, we were reminded of how well writ this rag is. Old favorite LBS, now blogging. So are the burrito brothers as they slog through the Giro. Hey Michael Ball, act quick, Petacchi's on the market. Hardcore comes in different flavors. More trails to practice on in the greater Los Angeles area. Barak's got a spoke card, and yeah that was him at the Little 500! One night in Bangkok the world went fixed. Please don't drive with your dog in your lap. duh. Ordinance collectors get a doc. Some folks believe in a contrail conspiracy; the reality is worse. The doc bubble hath burst; sometimes it makes me wonder how they all keep from going under.
Making Friends and Influencing People: Bike Month Do's and Don'ts
Here's two juxtaposing stories from opposite ends of the earth. In Sydney, Australia 50 cyclists are attacked by an apparently road-raging 34 year-old during rush hour, potentially derailing the chances of an Olympic hopeful. Meanwhile, in L.A., 30 cyclists attack the freeway system in some mis-guided attempt to demonstrate against 'The Man', or some such anarcho-hipster drivel. Our stance: There's far more effective methods of promoting cycling as an alternative means of transit - pissing off a bunch of wage earners simply trying to get home in Friday rush hour traffic is NOT one of them. If you set out to anger people as a way of getting attention, the net result is a lot more pissed off ragers like the a-hole in Australia, endangering riders who may not have had anything to do with the absurd stunt/protest ride on the freeway.
While all this energy is spent on stupid stunts, our governator is shutting down 48 State Parks. Just in time for summer, no parks and less lifeguards - brilliant. Stop the madness and sign this petition!
Cycle Fever! (and a few other things)
New bike blogs for summer reading: flahute, snotty, poopy pants, le grimp, bobke. Yikes!
Sustainability, Canuckisized. The Rag has some perspective as well. CyclePeople remind us of bike month. It's the perfect time to open a new megashop. Apparently, the UK has a different perspective on American politics than our local news. Banksy got cans. Jason Jesse wants prayer. Barefoot shoes make a comeback thanks to hip NY journo's. What if we did find life on other planets? A surfer dies in Mexico, local sharks killed in retaliation. In Philly, apparently these cops didn't notice the helicopter with a camera as they beat the crap out of three guys.
