‘Treadly and Me’ quietly oozed into existence on 1 January 2006. And as each year draws to a close it’s become customary at this time for me to do a bit of an annual summing up. I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth it but here we go anyway…
“You could give me statistics out the wazoo about bike safety, but the only thing that really made a difference was getting some positive cycling experiences.” –Julie White
“Don’t be a snob; if it can be done on a bike, it’s good.” –unnamed correspondent to RBR Newsletter.
“Road-bike aficionados are much like trout: simultaneously enthralled and mortified by anything shiny and new that enters their environment.” –Wired.com
“The premise that cyclists’ behavior somehow voids their right to sharing the road is indefensible at face value. ‘Well officer I thought it was OK to hit this cyclists because several blocks back I saw another run a red light’ is not something anyone could defend.” –TheWashCycle
“But here’s the big secret: bike commuting is no sacrifice at all. As a matter of fact, I often feel a pang of guilt for doing it. It’s so much fun, and I derive so many benefits from it…” –Alan, www.ecovelo.info
And there I was, thinking I might never speedlink again…
Yep, speedlinking again.
Fish can sing, birds can swim, I can speedlink…
‘Treadly and Me’ spluttered inauspiciously into life on 1 January 2006. So as the year draws to a close, this provides me with the excuse to ruminate on what was and what may be…in this little corner of the web, at least.
I haven’t been caught in public with my pants down since my last effort, so it must be safe for me to speedlink…
There hasn’t been a plague of locusts since my last effort, so it must be safe for me to speedlink…
It’s Movember, so get that Mo growin’!
