and then....

im getting back on this horse. thanks for checking in every now and then. i appreciate it. as usual, there is a lot going on in austin - bicycle related. and otherwise. many friends doing good things for the community. we have a city council election happening right now. and 2 very good pro-bicycle candidates running. its a chance for us to come together and get them elected. the League of Bicycling Voters in Austin made their endorsements - check it out and then get out for early voting.

the final report from the city smarts task force is out. it's hoped this report will continue to help and be substantial in pushing forward a more bicycle and pedestrian friendly Austin.

Yellow Bike continues to thrive. as always, they can use volunteers. and they are good people. doing many things to keep bikes on the streets of austin and introduce new people and kids to cycling. their big birthday party is the end of may. it never disappoints.

and MAY is BIKE MONTH. u know what that means. time to roll up to the stoplight with your fellow cyclists, size up the competition and on green - the time to peddle is now. shine in the moment of passing college students with their u-locks rattling from their front handlebars and curse the drag your panniers are creating. i like to call it the thursday morning commuter start line.

oh ya. i got a new bike.
