“Don’t be a snob; if it can be done on a bike, it’s good.” –unnamed correspondent to RBR Newsletter.
“Within societies of mass automobility, bicycles are often regarded as a children’s toy, a middle-class sports fad, or a form of transport for those who are too poor to drive. Within less that three generations, cultures of everyday or utility cycling disappeared. Those who continued to cycle are often regarded with suspicion.”–Adrian, Yellow Brick Road.
“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

I haven’t had a brake problem in two days, so it must be safe for me to speedlink…
As you might have gathered, I’m full of admiration for ‘extreme’ utility cyclists…
Who needs bike shops that are only interested in pushing the latest fancy bling?
Bicycles–did you know they can also be used to carry people?
I’m a bit behind on this one, but I’ve got to say this low-key promotional piece looks pretty good.
