Riding the boom

Putting the foot down
woowoowoo goes all ranty on petrol addicts. Bet it feels good to get that off your chest.
Well said, Dave.
I first saw the photo of the extremely nasty crash in Mexico on the web, and I was horrified. But then I saw it on the front page of the MX, and it was somehow made to seem lurid and sensationalised—I immediately imagined some bogans would see it and be pleased.
Having nothing constructive to say about it, I left it alone. Good thing too: Dave Moulton has said all that needs to be said on the topic. Thanks for that Dave.
Poseur magnet
A million dollar Olympic bicycle so specialized "no ordinary person could ride it"? What's the chances some cashed-up overweight poseur has already contacted Koga-Miyata trying to order one? [Thanks tom]
Then again, Dave Mouton just doesn't buy the whole story.
Hittin' the road
Fancy a bike commute of 42 miles (or 67 km) **each way**? Three hours? Riding in tennis shoes? [via BV Forums]
Knox Plan
Draft Knox Bicycle Plan—submissions close 20 June.
Travel time to Fed Square
Interesting idea: how long does it take to cycle to Fed Square?
Inevitable, I suppose.
London Cycle Chic—it's not just Copenhagen anymore…
One question: Why?
TrailCart—wouldn't a mountain bike be easier? Eh, each to their own. [Thanks tom]
