In her statement on Sunday, Ms. Katehi said: “I am deeply saddened that this happened on our campus, and as chancellor, I take full responsibility for the incident. However, I pledge to take the actions needed to ensure that this does not happen again.”
Something tells me "full responsibility" doesn't mean full responsibility.
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.

Many reviews, a DIY project or two, and some fun posts about biking.
A great, active blog.
Some bike stuff. Some other stuff.
The struggles of a fat guy on his way to middle age and the classic battle of the bulge. Against him, the entire agricultural and food production system, American Midwestern attitudes towards food and eating and a lifetime of sloth and drunkenness. His only weapon, his bike.
Lovely bike things, lovingly discussed and photographed.
Kent Peterson is Commuting Program Director for the Bicycle Alliance of Washington. Useful, interesting, and fun (though his panniers look as if he didn't get enough cut and paste time in kindergarten.)
Sharp-witted cycling advocacy and photos
NYC city cycling
Jim, of . . . well some other places, is back.
Well-written posts on healthy living, family, and how to live better.
"I've been riding bikes for over 50 years. By my way of thinking, that makes me an expert on everything relating to bicycles. just ask me." And an expert on everything. I can identify.
It's a magazine, newsletter, blog, and the mind boggles to think what else.
A cyclo-centric exploration of alternatives to American car culture, as well as other musings of a cog in the machine.
Charming, "fresh" writing about biking in University of Illinois Land.
Great links from a London bike shop specializing in folders and commuters, with an unnecessary Flash heading.
Rick Smith's bikey comic.
Wrapped up effort to get a "share the road" vanity automobile license plate. In February 2008, failed to raise the maximum fine for running over a cyclist while the driver was failing to yield. (Bicycle Colorado was pushing for $1,000. Radical.)
Positive trajectory in doubt, trending back to ass-kiss mode. Too bad.
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! "
You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll use a sidewalk.

A free, non-profit, collectively run community bicycle shop on the west side of Denver.
The world's first and only cruiser magazine has it's home right here in Denver. Aren't we the lucky ones!
A east side (Park Hill) non-profit bike place that encourages folks to build and fix their own bikes and gives them the tools and help to actually do it. 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.)
Friendly, competent, and cool.
A large collection of articles and links on cycling and sustainability.
To inform and inspire. And it does.
(Cyclists Inciting Change thru Live Exchange) dynamic site promoting cycling as a viable and sustainable transportation choice.

Washington Area Bicyclist Association
Though it's about cooking and food, I love the writing - snappy and downright . . . rollicking. Read this.
"I want to learn about sustainable agriculture, as much as I possibly can. . . . I plan to hop on my bike and head north, following the growing season in a giant loop around the country, stopping to learn and work . . . I imagine this will take about a year, maybe longer."
"[They] built the bikes, sold the house, got married, quit a job," and are cycling around Asia. They finished their tour in May 2010.
THE place for cycle tourists. If you are planning, dreaming, or riding a tour . . . .
David Byrne cycled around in the world in 1975. Now retired, he's doing it again. Why? "I can think of nothing better to do."
The best, most knowledgeable, compulsive person to talk to about panniers and racks is Wayne. Has any business, internet or brick and mortar, ever know so much and been so helpful about this stuff? His prices are great, too.
Movie stars and their self-propelled vehicles.
Fukuoka, Japan.
Interesting photos and descriptions of Japan. No bikes.
No cycling here but a collection of glimpses of Asia, mainly Japan -- from baseball beer girls to beaches.
