Doppler Effect

Don't car passengers realize that when they scream at us when they drive by, all we hear is "eeeeeoooooIMASHITHEADaaaaaaeeeeee"?
At least that's what I hear.

The Wall

I decided to climb "Mt. Morgantown" for a little challenge today, and just as I was approaching the base of the mountain, I began to hear an engine puttering behind me. I chuckled to myself thinking that the scooter probably won't have enough horsepower to pass me on the hill. But the next thing that I see pass me is a mountain bike...with engine assist. Cheater!

Bikes on NPR

Since we've been rather quiet here of late...

The second hour of NPR's "On Point" today was a nice bit about cyclists and cycling culture. It's an hour long call-in show, so it's not the most in-depth, but it was a good hour. The podcast should be available in the next few days if anybody is curious enough to check it out.

A cyclist (and friend) in need (fixed)

http://www.supportmarielmentink.co…
the short of it is she was on a group ride home on New Years Eve, someone in a truck hit her and took off. The only thing that saved her was her helmet and the fact she was in a group.
Though she graduated from Northern Illinois University last year, I've known her from my trips to the local coffee house where she worked. 

There is a Bike for Your Rights benefit in Chicago on the 26th for her if anybody is interested in attending,http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#… or if you could just donate a few dollars that would be great.
