At least she acknowledged - but painfully, clearly didn't really understand - that a whole lot more was involved in creating a *system* that integrated bicycles.

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.

Two questions...

1.) Will I get arrested for biking on these wheels?

2.) Does anyone know of any safe houses over the Delaware River in Pennsylvania?

Yup, coroplast is the way to go and Kent's instructions are the perfect. I used them when I made my first set and every set since. Link to my flickr set.

One of my neighbors visits the Middle East for business and he went to Ski Dubai (in the UAE) and brought back photos. Pretty cool place. Dubai is about a hundred miles from Abu Dhabi (where the cooled bike path is planned).

What an incredible bike path. Isn't Doha also the location of the world's largest, indoor ski slope too?

Looks like I'll have to visit one day.

Bike Search

Thanks, anon. I noticed the error almost immediately, but then Blogger went down and I couldn't update my post until a little later.

I saw on this story this morning. My wife came into the room wondering why I was laughing so hard at the commercial that immediately followed the report: it started with a shot of a worn out woman on a treadmill and then said "Why are you working so hard?" -- it was a commercial for a Lipodissolve center...

p.s. Love the Google search thing and will play with it more later. WT

Apparently the story was too popular - the hosting site has made the pages unavailable. Anyways, big company = equals big target - just the cost of doing business.

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.

At least the bikers don't leave any natural fertilizer when traveling through the neighbourhood as the horses will.

I plan to buy a new road bike also. I hadn't considered buying a SS -- that would be a solution to my budget issue.

I'm in a 900 square foot apartment, so I don't have a lot of extra room for spare bikes :-)

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.

Hey Fritz,

Thanks for the tip of the hat to my blog! I'm looking forward to seeing elite cycling in the Midwest, and I hope the event improves the general public's outlook toward cycling in Missouri.

This news is just too cool. Mid-September will be a beautiful time of year for that kind of ride in Missouri. I'm going to do my best to catch the K.C. leg of the event. Thanks for the update!

"vain enough to expect anyone to stop" indeed. Hmmm... if there were tractor trailer drivers maknig mayhem on her route, would she feel as obligated to find anouther route?

Hey Fritz. It's been awhile. Haven't blogged about pixel advertising in ages. Thought you might find it interesting that I've finally declared pixel ads dead. Do you concur?

Or, the public can start insisting on promoting the safety and road sharing. Ask me in a year if this is possible...

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.

I read about this in MTB action I think. I agree, it's very interesting. I wonder how heavy it is?
