if you have not heard, the ktla story is here. laist here and soapboxla ghost bike story here. cars drive way too fast on that street late at night.
a helmet mounted mirror is an essential nusiance in this case… I recommend it for everyone’s safety.
a car has mirrors, why shouldn’t we too? you should already have the front and rear lights, right? with those three things all you have to do is listen to the traffic behind you for anything weird… get used to what cars make what noise and what a fluctuation in acceleration and braking sounds like. in no time you’ll be able to tell that mini van from a suv with your eyes closed and spot speeders 1000 ft behind you. yet, i digress.
it gets kinda old when every reaction to this sort of thing sounds like sister mary elephant. fate is tricky that way that even if you take every precaution it will still carry on with its deadly deed.
my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

if you have not already seen the theo bos / daryl impey crash here it is:
just the bos actin like a boss…he should be punished like those banking bosses
so anyways…
i see the big push for copenhagen, omafiets, and dutch bikes. Maybe they will be popular after the apocolypse when cars die.. In the meantime we should push deko-chari as the next big thing.

deko-chari
Bike month is almost here… something that’s morphed into an excuse to play footdown.

footdown… hey i had hair like that kid once…
watch out for this guy:

big corp, feds and team america take action on tax day!

a ploy to boost pizza sales? viral marketing on tax day?
or maybe it’s just a way to frighten us into paying taxes and settling on the safest cheap pizza in the world?
this is the same company that just launched the “bailout” ad campaign. hello?
this counter protester is so cool.
idiot, upperclass, tea baggers
i enjoy paying my taxes. it’s a small price to pay to reside in a peaceful state, ride smooth streets, and participate in a free, local, and world economy. of course, Orange County led a big protest– in a pseudo communist UTOPIA.
lmao.
a way to obscure chemical dumping @ sea ?
or a way to push the stereotype?

arrrrg bicicleta pirata!
where’s me tricorn?
