Why You MUST Come to Washington, DC in May if you are a cyclist.


For obvious reasons tonight' post is short and sweet.


Washington is holding a city ride on May 22, 2016.  They will be closing the streets and you must come.  Book now and save a few dollars, but make your AirBnB reservation quickly.  This is going to be big.  See you there.

I am not sure we need biodegradable helmets because I am not sure we really need helmets for most rides.  Discuss.


So Norman, Oklahoma has bike share?  WTH?  What next?  Midland, Texas?  The world is getting better.

I love my bike.  Okay, bikeS.  But I would not sell my portion of skyrocketing startup just for a bike.

I stand by my claim that, in general, those who post blogs hostile to bike share look like the Bob of Bob's Big Boy.  They have squishy math, carefully selected sources of data, and about as much credibility as Pinocchio before he repented and had his ethical, Teutonic epiphany.

But, if I see you in the bike lane, and you look like Bob, but you are on a bicycle, let's be smug.  Double points if you are on a bike share bike.
