That often seems to be the case where property owners have a change of heart regarding trails. I know developments in Colorado highlight proximity to bike paths, and several actually put the For Sale signs on the path side of the property.

A year ago, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported this about the extensive Madison County (Ill.) Transit trail system, which now totals 85 miles:

(MCT Excutive Director Jerry) Kane said the county's original plan was to grab the abandoned railroad rights of way for future MetroLink (light-rail) expansion and to use them, in the meantime, as bike and pedestrian paths.

The district ended up getting enough easements so that future light rail lines can run alongside the bike paths.

"Initially, there were complaints from people who feared their privacy would be invaded," Kane said. "Today, the complaints are from people who want to know
when they'll get their spur (link) to the trails."

The book Branded Nation talks about the way fast food stores and other businesses spring up next to each other; instead of competing each other into the ground, somehow it creates more demand, because more of the public perceives those businesses as places they have to go.
If it's played right, maybe it would work the same way. The existence of bicycles could permeate the consciousness of the babbling buffoons bumbling through their days.

One of our neighbors had his car alarm blaring in the middle of the night. It went on for nearly an hour as the alarm reset itself, then triggered again. I finally called the local cops. An officer responded in a few minutes. As he pulled up in front of the house, the porch lights suddenly came on and the owner came out to tell the officer that he'd turned it off. Before the cop got back to his patrol car, the alarm triggered again! This time he made the owner disconnect the battery cable before he left.

The owner - an unlikeable dick to my way of thinking - didn't actually fix the alarm. He merely disconnected it from the horn. For a week afterward, his car sat in the driveway flashing it's lights over and over until the battery finally gave out.

I was brokenhearted, and for some strange reason, I was unable to locate my battery charger when he asked to borrow it.

Imagine that.

That is a tragic story. I just went to my local airport the other night looking for bicycle parking. No one knew where it might be. There is bicycle parking on the arrivals level outside, but it doesn't look terribly secure. And then there was an out of the way spot for bikes that looked like a good way to get your bike stolen. Either way, nothing that takes bikes seriously as transportation.

I agree with Tim. Get a newer, more capable MTB, and either donate the old one or convert it to a single speed 'beater' for grocery store runs and the like. That way, if someone wants to borrow a bike or go for a ride with you, you're set to go.

Cycling to work will become more common if people feel safe sharing the road with cars. As a cycling commuter I see no promoting of safety and road sharing which should be aimed at the drivers through newspapers or radio or whatever local media is available.
I see gas prices going through the roof the only way to bring about a change of consciousness about cycling, otherwise people have no incentive to change.

When my kids were in elementary school, I worked an early shift so I could meet them for the walk home. It was a pleasant, 10 minute walk of about half a mile. Some parents and kids were appalled that I'd make them walk 'all that way'!

Paul pointed out the central idea this 'study' neglected, and that's lane positioning. According to the LCI list, there's a chart showing the author's greates distance from the curb was a little over a meter. Hugging the curb is a sure-fire way to have motorists pass far too closely.

I may have more on this later over on CycleDog, Fritz.

I dunno, Fritz, but I'll take the contrarian position. That inverted U rack could take 4 bikes in a very small space if they were positioned right. The rack I use at work is similar, but it has multiple U's designed for 8 or 10 bikes. Of course, mine is the only one in it.

One other aspect of inverted U racks is that they're pedestrian friendly - at least when no bikes are present. Compared to some of the 'art' bike racks, this is a plus.

Probably deepends on just how "deeply" you bonk (um, using the "depleting glycogen" meaning, not the UK/Aussie one).
If you're just running on low sugars, that shouldn't be so hard to recover from. If it takes days to recover, sounds like heat exhaustion or other depletions were happening. (I haven't bonked in a dozen years or so but I am pretty sure I was back adn rolling fine the next day.)

Hi Phil, I agree but I think what Norton wrote (linked to in the blog post) makes sense regarding motivation:

"Consider a typical pro cyclist (in Europe or America) -- he dominates at all levels, as a junior, as a U23, in the lower categories and eventually as a talented Cat 1. Eventually he's signed to a pro contract with a domestic or continental squad. He keeps on winning. Ultimately he's signed to a ProTour contract and enters his first Spring classic or stage race. Poof. Suddenly he finds himself surrounded by riders equal or better than he is. He finishes mid-pack or even off the back. The riders in the European pro peloton are many times stronger and faster than the riders at a level just below. He's like the arrogant college freshman who enters MIT only to find that everyone else was the valedictorian in their high school too. It's sobering and defeating."

Amen. (I couldn't get the sound to work on y 'puter - we're moving offices tomorrow and everything is ftummled.)
People do need to be educated - it's another argument against paths, looks like. If you have the paths, people think everybody should just get out of their way, and they never learn to get out on the roads if they're not riding like pedestrians.
Pete has a good point, though... if the peds are out in the bike lanes, they're the ones where they oughtn't be.
The other factor (and, alas, another disadvantage of bike paths, no matter how excellent) is that cars get much more hostile about cyclists on the roadway if they think there's a path the riders "should" be using.

I don't think it's quite open season on cyclists yet. Dolkart's conviction was thrown out on a technicality, that the instructions given to the jurors were incorrect. Keep in mind she's a law professor, so it's not surprising she and her lawyer found some technicality to appeal the conviction.

Since prosecutors plan to retry her if they lose the appeal of the appeals court ruling, she's not quite out of the woods yet. If the case is retried, hopefully prosecutors will do their homework and make sure the jury instructions follow the letter of the law.

Glad I could help :-)

As I said, it's a bit ghetto, and it's not the "real" way to do whipping (not least because one tends to use twine rather than hookup wire) but it's an easy way to wrap tape on a bar without needing any adhesives at all. It looks really nice when it's done properly, too.

Try using a whip knot (I think that's what Jim over at Hiawatha Cyclery usually does when he's shellacing and using hemp twine). Basically, create a U loop of string and wrap the rest of the string over it and tie it off at the end (any boy scout should be able to show you a whip knot, or Google says it's used for fishing lures too). I did a ghetto version with some electronics hookup wire, which worked out pretty well. As Karl said, the main thing is to get the tension on the tape right to make sure it doesn't fall off.

A lot of people install cork tape without the adhesive intentionally because it is easier to remove later. As long as you get the tape tensioned properly, it should hold in place on it's own pretty well.

I am responding to the unsigned editorial regarding my objection to John Forester being given a LAB award. The editor can apprently read minds. He (or she) claims that my objection to this award is because I personally do not like Forester. I have no personal feelings toward Forester one way or the other - in spite of the years of personal attacks he has launched against me.My problem with Forester is that he has pushed the use of roadways instead of bikepaths for cycle travel. While a good rider may be perfectly at ease on a road with traffic the 80 year old grandmother may not be. As a result of Foresters ridiculous stance on this issue, funding has been cut for designated bike paths and bike lanes. It is hard enough to get the funding we need for these projects without some "award winning LAB" person actively fighting against designated bike lanes and paths.
Remember this is the individual who under oath in a court of law blamed the bike industry for the failure of a cyclist to have a headlight on his bike at night. Forester's opinion for the Plaintiff resulted in a 8 million dollar verdict against Derby-who was my client at the time.LAB and the cycling public doesn't need this person further propped up by some LAb award or Board seat.

The nVidia chip has several functions, including a Gig Ethernet MAC. ESX currently doesn't support the Ethernet functionality, but none of the currently released Galaxy products use that nVidia function anyway so it's moot.

PCI probe errors are for devices not supported by ESX. I haven't looked at it in detail yet but I'm fairly certain it's benign.

I went ahead and gave Bioperformance a shot on my Sunfire and after 4 tanks, I was losing mileage. After hearing about how great it cleans out your tank, I came to worry about fuel injector replacements due to the breaking up of all the garbage in my tank by this product. And wondering how many fuel injectors I would have to go through to get my tank clean and to see any results. I think people need to be looking at the down side of this product because no product is perfect. I cannot sell anything that did not work for me.

Hey folks,
I too have gotten results using the little green pill, a 27% increase (my 1st tank gave me a 20% increase).

For those who aren't with the company, you REALLY have NO idea what you are talking about. The product does NOT contain naphthalene, but something very close. The product cannot be reversed engineered which would make it VERY difficult to any lab or scientist to be able to determine what is in the gills. The company is currently having more tests done to satisfy the Texas AG.

As for an illegal pyramid scheme, if Bio Performance IS an illegal pyramid scheme, then the 1,000's of other MLM's out there are as well! I don't think so.

Let's hold off any further negative comments and posting until we have ALL the true facts and not some bogus facts stated by people who really don't have the proper credentials or have used proper testing to find out what is actually in this product.

The company will prevail and this will also help the other gas additive companies. Bio performance was the FASTEST growing gas additive company so it shouldn't be a surprise someone got a hair up their butt to try and shut us down!

In court today (6/1/06) the TRO remains and a new court date has been set, to give the company time to properly document the ingredients in the pills.

My advice, there are plenty of other negative things you can post about, let's let this rest until we have ALL the facts!

There are technologies being devoted that will allow ethanol to be produced from arable waste, so that land could feasibly be used for food and fuel. I don't know what the figures are on that, but it has to be closer to sustainable.

But, really, there's only one answer- use less fuel. Drive less, in more efficient cars, cycle, walk etc. etc.

I've also crunched the numbers and it doesn't take long before you realise that there isn't enough arable land around to support either growing crops for fuel and food OR indeed for growing trees to offset greenhouse gas emissions.
Should we also point out that there are almost NO environmental benefits in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions in using E85?

Bike Miami held a public meeting earlier this month to talk about bicycle advocacy, and 17 of the 44 people who showed up were Hispanic. I don't recall there being any black people present, however -- and they are indeed a significant part of the daily riders in our town. Nor did I see any at the Ride of Silence last Wednesday.

So I agree with you that the bicycle community has a challenge of inclusivity here. The fact that we can organize well among people who spend $1,000 or up on a bicycle doesn't mean we are going to be effective in building a healthy riding environment.

Perhaps a little reasoning could distinguish between the truth about BioPerformance and whether it is a scam or not.

Myself, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but remain reasonably skeptical of incredible claims.

HERE'S WHAT I HAVE GLEANED FROM ALL THE COMMENTS, MY WEB RESEARCH, AND FROM AN ELEMENTARY KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY AND PSYCHOLOGY:

(1) THE BIOPERFORMANCE PILLS DO SOMETHING. In some vehicles they appear to provide a small increase in fuel mileage. In others, they don't help at all or even LOWER gas mileage. Napthalene does work in some older vehicles to some extent, and could possibly increase gas mileage by helping to eliminate knocks and pings. However, newer vehicles can be ruined, when the additive interferes with the more sensitive fuel systems.

(2) THE BIOPERFORMANCE PILLS ARE PROBABLY JUST MOTH BALLS IN DISGUISE. The news reports and laboratory tests seem to indicate that they are napthalene. I have no good reason to doubt that this is true.

(3) SPOKESPERSONS FOR THE PRODUCT APPEAR TO BE LYING. The supposed company representative in this blog that indicated that they were other than napthalene also spoke a bunch of nonsense about changing the "frequency" and that napthalene has "much larger crystals". This is FALSE INFORMATION. Chemicals don't have "frequencies", nor would crystal size make any difference, since the finished product dissolves in the fuel.

(4) ANOTHER RED FLAG: IT WORKS IN GASOLINE *AND* DIESEL. No product that simply modifies fuel (if that were possible) can work in both gasoline engines and diesel engines, because they work on completely different principles. Only a lubricant works in both.

(5) BIOPERFORMANCE HAS ALL THE CLASSIC SIGNS OF A MLM SCAM. Which isn't to say it is, but chances are pretty good.

As another person quoted from the Bible, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Whether this MLM was started by a minister or not (I am a minister also, and can say they make mistakes), the Bible indicates that we should not be fools, and should check things out.

There are many suspicious things about this product that should cause you to hold your money back until you have THOROUGHLY studied this issue.

Nice comments all!
I suggest you spend a short time actually LOOKING at the website and, if you're a skeptic like me, run some simple background checks on those who are "claiming" to be experts. They actually check out. To my eternal chagrin, (my father will never let me live this down) I put the stuff in my motorcycle and got a 20 mpg increase. This is not a moped but a Yamaha Virago 1100cc full size bike. I was stunned, I started using it in my diesel truck 2 weeks ago and the first tank LOST mileage. I'd read the information on the site and put in a new fuel filter and tried another tank, a 2mpg increase, and after the 4th tank I'm 26.8% better. For those who are math challenged, that means every fifth tank of fuel is FREE! It works, and they guarantee if it messes up your engine, they'll fix it on their nickel. Skeptical? OK, but don't knock it until you've tried it. If you want to actually READ about it, you can see it all for yourself at www.onlinefuelpill.com. If not, that's cool too. Personally, I thought it was a load of crap to begin with and spent lots of time and money trying to prove to my father that he was getting ripped off. Well, he wasn't and niether am I. It's up to you whether you choose to be a lemming and blindly follow Fritz, anyone who has posted comments (including me) or, will you invest a little time to check it out for yourself?
I have nothing to gain if you look at the site above, look or don't look - it's your choice. All I can tell you is that I personally am saving 25 cents per gallon on my diesel truck and I'm getting and I can drive an extra hundred miles per tank on my motorcycle. I can't wait to put this stuff in my boat!

If you're not the lead dog, the view never changes.

Now for the misinformed person who said Bio is moth balls I think that has been effectively shot down, obviously you do not know what you are talking about.

As for the comments about a fool being born everyday? I have tried the product in a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant, a 1997 Geo Metro, a 1987 Dodge Dakota and a 2000 Mustang, I have seen gains of 27%,23%,25% and 17% on those vehicles. ON top of that I was impressed and joined the company, I am enjoying a very nice supplemental income that is growing everyday.

You doubters keep on calling it a scam and we will continue enjoying the benefits of Bioperformance. By the way, in five months BioPerformance has over 25 Million dollars in sales, there sure must be a lot of suckers huh?

Because of the recent slanderous remarks by the news media concerning our product, we would like to clear the air once and for all. We protect our product from any false accusations. We will now correct the false accusations concerning our product being made from moth balls, being toxic, hurting vehicles and not giving people any savings.

As you well know, naphthenates, naphthalenes, and other compounds from the same family are derived from hydrocarbons – aromatic substances like camphor, gasoline, petroleum, soft coal, or from the camphor tree. Naphthalenes were obtained from the tree, and then, in more recent times, from soft coal. They are combined with metals, organic components, etc., to obtain a naphthenate. We use organic naphthenates. When a naphthalene is converted into a naphthenate, we change the frequency and together with a dispersant we get a very large surface for the catalyzer to work. Catalyzers work by surface and not by mass. This is why our product is made of naphthenates, not naphthalenes. Naphthalenes are much larger crystals and are not useful for our purpose. Therefore, our product is not mothballs.

Maybe if you use naphthalene, it may work a while, but you need to have a larger surface for it to work as a catalyst. The frequency of the matter allows us to work much better in catalyzing. This transformation makes the crystals we use, when they contact the gasoline, because of the dispersants, disappear and only the molecules stay.

Also, as you can see in our Security Officer’s Material Safety Data Sheet, our product is not toxic. I know if you put a piece of carbon and a diamond under the chromatographer, they both are the same product: carbon. However, we all know, they are not the same. During the 50 years of testing to get our product working by many people, we have never had any trouble with vehicles, as the product completely dissolves in the combustible, and thus becomes part of it. However, if the gas or diesel tanks have too many impurities, the gas lines and filters may clog. The product takes about 8 hours to act at 100% dissolving skims, incrustation of HC existing in tanks, tubes, pumps and injection systems, cleaning them as time goes by, depending upon the thickness of such incrustations. It does not harm the combustion system in any way according to our ISO 9000 Lab Tests.

If we want to be given the same respect as cars, we need to follow the same laws. And that means we get the same consequences if we break the law.

No speeding, no running lights or stop signs, pass only on the left, lights in front and back at night.

Blind spots on an Over the Road (OTR) truck are a problem for both the driver and those around him or her. Having driven OTR, it's bad enough to have cars in blind spots. Bikes would be like a fly or misquito is to us, for the truck driver. Safety is a real concern for the Trucking industry and they are doing what they can to help eliminate the blind spots. Of course, the chief component in checking the blind spots is the driver. So it's not so much as eliminating the blind spots, as it is training and educating the drivers to constantly check their blind spots.

Yes riding bikes to work and using mass transit are great options if you have those options. Unfortunately most of us live where there is no transit and the commute to work is much too far to bike. Energy use is expected to grow by over 40% over the next the next 15 years. Armand has it right we need a sensible energy policy that will reduce our dependency on oil based energy.

A boycott won't work, but I'm afraid that restraint will only serve to save you a little money. Even if we all could and did hop on a bike or public transit for marketing, commuting, and other life requirements, global demand is growing so rapidly that prices would be likely to remain high. More effective would be a coherent energy policy that invested in long-term R&D and alternative ecoonomical sources of energy here in the US and elsewhere. We should be urging our representatives to work for such a policy.

this is my favorite photo of that bike and the rest of the photos of that bike can be found here.

(i went through the trouble of finding the perfect pink and red things so i like to show it off.)

as for the website, i miss this community a lot. i was sad to leave point83 behind but also eager to start something new and awesome in san francisco. when i arrived i did much research and found mainly the following:

-unorganized sub-groups of bikeforum
-fixed gear people on myspace
-super snobby fixed messengers
-gay/lesbian group
-squid racer group(s)

i think there should be a specific forum online and group in real life for people who simply like bikes and bike people, who aren't snobby, and mainly reside in san francisco.

I was struck by a motorcycle on my side while biking (t-boned actually). The impact sent me flying off the bike and the road, and I landed on frozen ground between a mailbox and tree. I highly doubt that if I was not wearing a helmet, I would not be typing this today. Thankfully, I walked away unhurt. My advice, anywhere on a road with traffic, wear it.

The visuals were great. The movie was only okay - there were times when you could tell the scenes were re-creations, and bad ones at that. Still, worth the money I spent to see it at the Boston Omni Theater a few months ago.

The movie was originally supposed to be about Tyler Hamilton - and what a movie it would have been. I can't help but think that there's some really awesome Tyler Hamilton footage on the cutting room floor somewhere. Maybe it'll be in the DVD release?

I wouldn't single out Phonak, really, but rather that Professional Cycling as a whole has a tendancy to make me think about doping.

When watching the sport by myself, I don't generally think of this except when I wonder what Tyler is doing right now. When I watch or talk about professional cycling with friends, however, doping ALWAYS comes up. They're not cycling fans, but they know enough to know it's not a clean sport.

I agree BC. And although I am not a fan of NASCAR (cycling is much more interesting to me), they realized their old sponsor of the race series (Busch beer) wasn't a good idea and switched away from it.

AMGEN sponsoring the Tour of California is almost like Marlboro sponsoring an American Lung Association event, it doesn't make ANY sense.

Had me worried there, for a minute! Synthetic EPO or natural, there are long term risks associated with it, like the Heart attack duem to blood turbidity(TOO THICK) as well as Haemopoiesis cycle damage and production and release of immature blood cells leading to an eventual degradation of O2/CO2 exchange. Here's an extract from eirpharm.com:

EPO is also known as Epoetin or Erythropoietin it is the best known of this class of drugs, which stimulate erythropoiesis which is the formation of red blood cells.

EPO enhances athletic performance by increasing the supply of oxygen to muscle tissue and is in particular useful in endurance sports such as long distance cycling, distance running, cross country skiing. It also enables the athlete to recover faster from an endurance event.

While this substance is naturally produced in the body and it can also be made by recombinant DNA technology. It is pharmacologically classified as a haematopoietic growth factor which means it promotes the growth of red blood cells in the body. Red blood cells carry oxygen through the body. EPO is used clinically in the management of anemia associated with chronic renal failure in dialysis and predialysis patients, in conjunction with other treatments for HIV and as a part of a drug-treatment regime for those undergoing chemotherapy.

The abuse of EPO by athletes can have particularly serious consequences as its abuse can result in changes in thickness of the blood thus affecting the rate at which blood flows through the body. This can be further exacerbated by dehydration potentially leading to a life-threatening situation for the athlete. The effects of EPO is often measured by a haematocrit reading which is a measure of the volume percentage of the red blood cells in blood. Haematocrit readings above 55% have been reported to result in coronary and cerebral circulatory problems.

Other side effects include iron overload, flu-like symptoms such as headache and joint pain and high blood pressure.

From http://www.timinvermont.com/fitness/govpub.htm
Erythropoietin

Erythropoietin, or EPO, is another steroid alternative used in the international sports community although it has seen limited abuse in the United States. EPO, approved for treating anemias associated with chronic renal failure and zidovudine (AZT) therapy in HIV-infected patients, stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells. The hormone appeals to athletes because they tire less easily when taking it and because it is undetectable by tests presently used.

"It (EPO) increases the red blood cell count, and therefore the athlete is able to absorb more oxygen and increase stamina- the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood system is just unbelievable," Leggett says.

But EPO use is not without risk. As the body's red blood cell count rises and the blood thickens, blood clots, heart attack, or stroke could result. Abuse of EPO is especially risky among marathoners and long-distance bicyclists. As these athletes compete, Leggett explains, they lose body fluids, including blood fluids. Reducing blood fluids concentrates the already abnormally high red blood cell count, which can lead to polycythemia, an abnormal increase in circulating red blood cells. "EPO can turn their blood to the consistency of Jell-O," he says.
Severe Penalties

Here are some potential health effects of drugs and other substances-ranging from the mildest to the most severe-used as alternatives to anabolic steroids.

* greasy skin
* headache
* severe acne
* premature balding
* bloating associated with water retention
* dizziness
* chills
* drowsiness
* nausea
* vomiting
* muscle tremors
* fever
* fast heart rate
* slowed heart rate
* bloody diarrhea
* seizure-like movements
* lowered blood pressure
* breathing difficulty
* breathing cessation
* blood clots
* cardiovascular problems
* liver disease
* cancer
* heart attack
* stroke
* death

It's Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and I still haven't seen anything about the Tour of California on our wire services. We may not have a high enough level of service to get The Associated Press stories here.

In your case, James, I'm sure the reason you've been able to read about the race in your newspaper is because George Hincapie lives there, thus AP is sending stories. We don't have any major cyclists who live in Illinois or Missouri in the race, so we're not getting a thing.

I don't understand why AP isn't at least sending a brief or results nationwide.

I ran track in high school. I was in 1st place in an 800 meter race, looked back like an idiot instead of putting every ounce of effort into crossing the finish and came in second on that race.

Don't even get me started on idiot drivers. I'm amazed some days that people even are able to get to work.

Good job. Now don't forget the little people out here in the high country.

Wow! Print this on a piece of cardboard, cut it up with a jigsaw, and you have a bicycle puzzle. The recursive image? Elvis, of course.

Hey Fritz. Isn't it funny how you blog about pixel sites and you get some pixel spam? You saw it on my blog when you commented. Oh well. Thanks for linking to my case study. As you've noted, most pixel sites are a waste of time.

Hi! I am Motherstormcrowe and have seen first hand the fall and rise of T. Stormcrowe. Last March, T was at death's door, the last chance for him was bariatric surgery. It took great courage on his part to go through with the surgery knowing the great risk of even having the surgery. With a great deal of prayer circling in the OR, T came through and after the first iffy 24 hours, surgery was deemed a success. T is my hero also, because he has stuck through through thick and thin - no pun intended. His 325 pound weight loss is phenomenal especially for his pudgy mother who has had a log of trouble losing 16 pounds and riding a bike around the block! I am so proud of him.

T is an amazing shrinking man!! I met him a short while back when rolling through some blogs and have been visiting his site ever since. It is wonderful to watch a person like Tom, who is young and intelligent, and his great sense of humor brings out the best in any situation.
He is truly a gift and an inspiration to anyone who struggles with physcial or mental difficulties!
He IS my hero!!

Fantastic post, Michael!

Sponsorship's a huge deal. The Tour de Toona website has some good numbers on cycling demographics, but the perception seems to be that few people in the USA watch competetive cycling events. OLN stepped out on a limb last year broke ratings records for their network with 1.6 million viewers watching the TdF, so I don't really understand the lack of televised coverage for major US stage races.
