From Elsewhere . . .

Magnify the image
  • Fake 3D crater designed to slow down London cyclists - seems a creative and amusing way to handle the problem. It's certainly better than speed bumps.
  • Environmentalists baffled by Obama's strategy - Hmmmm. Wasn't his appointment of Salazar for Interior sort of a clue?
  • Erin and Sam's wonderful story continues - Scroll down for some incredible pictures.
  • I was recently introduced to someone who, learning of my interest in cycling, proceeded to rant about how awful her steel-framed, 24-speed Bianchi touring bike is for commuting. She can't wait until her new carbon fiber bike comes in. Made me think of this.
  • The Art of the Bicycle is the current exhibition at the curiously-named ArtCentre of Plano. (That's Plano, Texas. If you are trapped there, you might want to look up the Plano Bicycle Association.
  • I confess I, too, have forgotten that crucial last step:

    Yesterday I did a quick, successful lunch hour tire change to the non-studded fat-enough tire (since the one from the original Xtra wanted to pop off the rim ’cause it was too skinny), and accidentally noticed the word “rotation” stamped into it… but still actually installed it backwards.  So I deflated and rotated and stuck it back on inless than four minutes (!?!? )  … and came out at 5:00 and the thing was flat.  Methinks, tho’, that I sort of forgot thatlast step of, um, inflating it, since I pumped it up and it’s been peachy since.

"Utter space-dom" that would be me.

I am also one of those dimwits that ran their car top bike into a low parking lot girder.

About

Rocky Hillside

In the dark of the moon, in the flying snow, in the dead of winter,

war spreading, families dying, the world in danger,

I walk the rocky hillside, sowing clover.
