We're always accused of "smugness" as if virtue is a vice, even from the office of the Vice President himeself. Drives me nuts.

I noticed "peddle" in the press release also. It seems to be a fairly common mistake because the spell checker doesn't catch it. At least the part of speech is correct in this instance. I read a news story the other day somewhere where "peddle" was used as a noun.

What can we do to offset the weird spin factors that are saying it is totally uncool to cut back - that somehow that is caving in, or having a privilege/right removed?
How can we change this to a noble "we are united and will conquer together" thing to inspire those who are inspired by such?

Personally I can't stand it when people write "peddle" when they should write "pedal."

Couple of guys hit a bear on the Kancamagus Highway in NH back in the 1990s. We used to see them a lot while mountain biking. My wife saw a young one last week while riding to the library. No contact, though.

I can't decided how I feel about that video clip. I'm glad they are working on raising awareness and exposure. But the entitlement comment doesn't sit right with me. That's like me saying all motorists are drunk because a handful of them drink and drive. Every group of humans has assholes in them, cyclist didn't corner the market on that.

oh it's not that bad. I've been training 4-5x a week (2 hours a day at high intensity) and the worst these past weeks has been light phlegm (I live in Saratoga). Just a part of our habitat. Redwoods can't even germinate without the fire, that's what I keep reminding myself :)
I think we'll be okay. Hang in there.

Commuting's okay, but long rides indeed are sucky. Some people I know like Murph are soldiering like usual but they're paying for it.

...fritz...thanks for the heads-up on the wall street journal's article on 'saudi oil management'...it is, as you say "an eye opening article" & while we as laymen, have no recourse to the truth to draw conclusions on, it goes hand in hand w/ the sunday 'yahoo finance' article titled "giant saudi field is key to boosting oil output" regarding development at the 'khurais oil fields'...
...draw your own thoughts but however this plays out on the world stage & local theaters, we need to accept this 'financial gas crunch', along w/ the more frequent reality of food shortages & changing weather patterns, as an eyeopener...the various factors, taken as a whole will play a roll...
...i'm not suggesting a need to become alarmist but we've been wallowing in the luxury of overindulgence for a long damn time & hopefully saner minds will start to prevail...
...there will always be a future but what will the quality of life be for the majority, in that future ???...

bikesgonewild has left a new comment on your post "Interbike stays in Vegas":
...las vegas & interbike are like the ultimate complimentary dichotomy...they are both so right & so wrong for each other...
...vegas is not whatsoever, a bike friendly town, but it does support an infrastructure that easily facilitates 'the show'...the airport is right there in the middle of town...it's only about 6 minutes away from the 'sands convention center' by cab...
...vegas is loaded w/ excellent restaurants of all calibers & price ranges to suit everyone from shop rats to industry execs or if you get fussy like me, there is even a whole foods near the 'green valley' turn off...if you don't eat well in vegas, baby, you ain't trying...
...while it's old hat to the regular show goers, 'sin city's' architecture really is kind of amazing & if you have the time for entertainment, there is everything from street performances to 'strip clubs' to the expensively sublime floor-shows...& if you're on cyclings 'A' list you'll have your invitations to the right parties...
...now that they've added both a cyclo-cross race & a crit in town during the evenings, on top off the 'dirt-demo' out in 'bootleg canyon', interbike now involves a fair amount of actual cycling although it's mostly just days of standing around talking about it...
...& top cap it all off...while the bicycle industry is genuinely well stocked w/ good, honest hardworking folks, the bicycles & products these days, seem to have a bit of that "over the top, rah, rah, look at me" las vegas flair...maybe that's the real reason for staying...

How ironic, Republicans that preach against big government get exactly that when they fail to see bikes as part of the solution. Motorized driving requires more and wider roads, higher maintenance costs, more law enforcement, more court time, more insurance, more accidents, more gas stations, and more government oversight.

I used to ride Longmont to Loveland all the time on 287 -- it's no problem at all besides a few narrow spots on the way to Berthoud. SInce then wide shoulders have been added to 287 to Loveland. From Loveland to Ft Collins, Taft Road is the preferred cycling route, IIRC.
