After the revolution, doing good work. Thank god.
- Boneshaker: A Bicycling Almanac
Published in Ft. Collins. "Your resolve to commute by bike is, indeed, the impetus for [Boneshaker:A Bicycling Almanac.] It is you who deserves weighty attention and significant accolades, not celebrity train wrecks and political hearsay, because you are not daunted easily. No, you keep pedaling quietly without recognition, and if you get recognized, it is most likely via a startling horn or outstretched finger. Imagine if we could harness or otherwise bottle your retenue and distribute it to the world’s leaders and workers and thinkers! Oh, the thought! "

Nice dedicated folks who seem to know what they are doing. (As befits a foundation-funded operation, the website description is opaque and baffling, but I've been there and it's a good place.)
