Don't let the Senate make bicycling more dangerous for you
by Jonathan Morrison 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

Federal support for bicycling is in trouble, again. The U.S. House and Senate have released bills that would reverse 20 years of progress toward making bicycling safe and stress-free for all Americans. The current Senate transportation bill eliminates essential biking and walking programs. To improve the bill, we’re asking senators to vote for a bipartisan amendment that guarantees our local governments a voice in transportation decisions, allowing them to build bikeways and sidewalks that keep people safe. Take action today to help preserve the successful, cost-effective federal investment in biking. Contact your state’s two U.S. senators to encourage them to vote for the Cardin-Cochran amendment: http://www.peopleforbikes.org/page/speakout/don-t-let-the-senate-make-bicyc… (You can find your senators, review basic suggested text for your email, and send your note directly from this link.) Thank you for your help today, and for passing the call to action along.

Critical Mass book essays?
by Chris Carlsson 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hi all, It's late, but we're doing a book to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Critical Mass starting in San Francisco. We will also be hosting a big week-long celebration with daily rides, evening art shows, concerts, films, etc., from Monday Sept. 24-Sunday Sept. 30, with the big anniversary ride falling on Friday, Sept. 28... everyone is invited of course! So the book's original deadline was Jan. 15, and I regret that I never directly sent the solicitation to this list, but we've extended the deadline to Feb. 7 (and we could go a bit longer if someone here needs more time and is up for contributing)... We're looking for essays that explain how Critical Mass was an incubator space, helped shape a new kind of politics, new communities, new groups of friends, etc., and maybe changed how folks think and act regarding transit politics, direct action, and even the shape of your cities, urbanism in general... if you're interested, here's the link to our original call for articles: http://www.sfcriticalmass.org/2011/07/06/20th-anniversary-critical-mass-boo… but the deadline is extended... do let me know if you'd like to write something up for the book... a piece about BikeBike! and its relationship to the different politics of bicycling and transportation during the past 10-20 years would be fantastic! --Chris -- Shaping San Francisco's digital archive is at http://FoundSF.org... check it out!

FYI: Bulk Lot of 125+ Bikes for Sale in LA (Online Police Auction, Ends Tues. Night)

Quite a big project to take on, but might be worthwhile for an ambitious bike collective with extra space. I have a feeling the final price per bike is going to be very cheap, even by the standards of a nonprofit budget. :) Here's the link: http://www.propertyroom.com/l/125-used-bikes/8307918

Why is Bike! Bike! Scheduled for June????
by R Points 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

So I just checked the Bike! Bike! website and I see that this years event is scheduled for June 21-24. Why? This is literally the peak of the season and makes it impossible for us to attend. We've been to 3 Bike! Bike!'s in the past and they were some of the most magical, inspiring events for our group; invaluable. It's a shame that we will again not be able to attend this year.

wheel storage hooks
by Bob Giordano 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Our free, plentiful favorite for storing wheels is the long arm of a side pull brake. It has a hole for a big headed nail or screw. You can use a washer to keep nail/screw from pulling through. This hook is strong and can hold one wheel, or two thinner rimmed wheels. With the arm twist, you have to pay attention to the direction orientation, and sometimes we modify the twist, using a vice. With the slight lip at the top of the arm, it is best to afix this type of hook on the edge of a wood beam, although the arms/hooks work just fine on a blank, flat wall too. A few pix down on linked page you can see some in action. They are on one of our wheel tripods, which we have modified since the picture. http://strans.org/communityshop.html We also have a few hundred wheels on a tall wall in our ped tech warehouse- in that case we used 20d nails I think, and nailed at an angle into the studs. For that application, we used only axleless wheels that would lay flatter against the wall. -- Bob Giordano Free Cycles Missoula Shop: 732 S. 1st St. West, 541.7284 2PM-6PM Mon-Thurs & 11AM-3PM Sat Missoula Institute for Sustainable Transportation www.strans.org, mist(a)strans.org, 406-880-6834 Jacob Newborn wrote: > I am building a wheel cave for our storage of spare wheels and rims. wondering what folks use as a cheap alternative to the red or black bike hanging hooks. > Thanks for any help! > -- > -- > Jake Newborn > Education Program Manager > Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin > www.bfw.org > 414-581-1513

To One and All: I am searching for an adult tricycle to use as a 'loaner bike' for the elder citizens of Sterling, MA.
