The Angry Driver Syndrome
It generally takes a lot to get me fired up…but I am very tired of having people yell out their car windows (at me or others) telling cyclists to get off the road. I usually tell them (yell back) that it is actually illegal for an adult cyclist to ride on the sidewalk. This oftenContinue reading “The Angry Driver Syndrome”

It’s Different on a Bike
It’s different on a bike…it just is. Sure you’re pedaling and using your own power, but you see things differently…at least I do. When I’m in my vehicle I tend to zone out…get comfortable on my car-couch and flip stations on the radio, get annoyed at the person cutting me off or going too slow,Continue reading “It’s Different on a Bike”

Another Great Bike Advert
This is actually an advertisment for the health care company, Kaiser Permanente. And while the company is indirectly advertised, riding a bike is overtly so. What I like about this is that it shows people of all ages riding a bike not just as a “hobby” but as a mode of transport…no spandex, no hunchingContinue reading “Another Great Bike Advert”

April is National Distracted Driver Awareness Month
I just read at the site of The League of American Cyclists that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill stating that April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month…an excellent move, no doubt. According to the website of CBS News, more than 6000 people were killed in 2009 by distracted drivers. Click hereContinue reading “April is National Distracted Driver Awareness Month”
