[Cyclelicious] New comment on Daily Jumble: I'm going to buy a bike!.

Thats too bad people don't want to bike to work... the funny thing is, as the prices of gas contain to rise I am sure they will start liking it more and more.
Unless we can up with some amazing answer to our dependence on fossil fuels, I can see bicycling becoming much more popular. The short distances many people drive their cars can just as easily be covered on bicycle, often without even adding much time to the trip (due to traffic, stop lights, etc).

Murph: you gotta love what Broomfield did to escape that island of Boulder County. :-) And I seem to recall some people in Longmont wanted to merge into Weld County not long ago.
I don't know if you've been up to Larimer County lately, but they have their own sprawling mess stretching from Berthoud into Fort Collins along US 287. The state even built a bypass around Berthoud to move all of that commuter traffic around the town.
Cezar: I'm disappointed in their lack of awareness on a lot of issues that impact their districts, some of which James alludes to in his comment. Penry & McNulty mock the thriftiness of bicycling, but then push their own ludicrous proposals.
James: Douglas County, Colorado is completely unsustainable and not just because of energy issues. I think many suburbs can adapt to life in a lower carbon future, but the sprawling burbs south, east and north of Denver will return to prairie and, maybe, ranchland if the current residents leave any fossil ground water behind. Much of Douglas County, for example, depends on non-renewable groundwater.

It's funny as republicans that they don't realize the market has come up with cargo bikes to solve the issue of hauling children. I left both of them a message pointing to http://www.rideyourbike.com/kids.html

Puma could really help by bringing out decent tapered touring shoes for toe clips. Smooth sole, somewhat stiff...I hear the retro cycle-styled Pumas don't have the stiffness of the real deal.
I'm also with Siouxgeonz about us old fogies, some of whom have been carrying the cycling torch through many dark years, even on bikes that don't coast.

As much as parts of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" annoyed me, that line in the bar was the best: "I hope your car has a big trunk, because my bike's going in it."

Gosh. That I-cycle could actually be set up with turn signals. Stick a bike blender rack on the back and it would be the ultimate party machine :D
Hoping too much definition of bike culture doesn't make it harder to be a middle aged schoolteacher type ...

I live and commute in Dallas, this does not surprise me at all. Two years ago we had 300 feet of bike paths, last year they took it out, and replaced it with a bridge that has three 90 degree turns, in 20 feet, to get on and off.
I have been commuting for three years and the most bikes I have ever seen in my 20 mile ride each way has been 9. It is not easy being an early adapter.

Even tho I haven't seen the whole movie, I like the scene where Mr. 6 Degrees himself rides his messenger bike under a truck in Quicksilver.
I tried it myself once with a parked trailer blocking a street when I was a courier, but I kinda faked it.

...the knee jerk reaction by 'metro' seems ill thought out at best, in light of the times...i'll bet there was an implied threat of legal complications by that customer...
...i know this could be a huge setback for you, fritz, so i wish you best of luck dealing w/ a bureaucracy that probably looks to follow the path of least resistance...
...hopefully saner minds will prevail, ie: transportation experts who are moved by needs, not swayed by trends & threats...

It seems that every 5 - 10 years some or other fashion house in Paris or Milan discovers the bicycle. Just like auto manufacturers who periodically stick a folding bike in the boot of their latest lemon. What always amazes me is how lazy the ad/marketing departments are. Always, it seems, just as in this case, the seat will be on an odd angle and other accessories (here, the headlamp) will be poking off somewhere else. Aesthetically eugh! And these guys are supposed to be style gurus? They should at least spring 15 bucks and get an LBS to assemble the bike before the photograph it. Could be worse. They could be hawking gold plated Segways.
