Is it really productive to be so gender-centric... I'm a woman bike
mechanic who considers myself a human being first, and a woman second.
Can we try to focus on the Big Picture, please?
the Powers that Be just LOVE identity politics, it keeps the liberals
squabbling against each other, rather than pushing forward towards a
common goal.
We Do have one, right?

Four dudes talking about a male-dominated topic. Totally
progressive, dude.I've let you know at least twice now that we do not want to be on this list. Bike Talk is not the same as the Think Tank. I'm sure anyone interested in these updates would be willing to join a seperate list. Until then, your last paragraph is either a joke or a lie and your emails are unsolicited.

Hey Spokes Folks,
It's Jim C. here, and I'm writing to invite, no, to convince you to
be heard
- and not just by the online Bike Talk group this week. This coming
Tuesday, December 29th, Bike Talk will get its first live broadcast
show on KPFK, 90.7 FM from 11PM til midnight Pacific Time - you can check
them out here http://www.kpfk.org/.Who listens to the radio these days? Well, you might be
surprised. KPFK is a groundbreaking Pacifica station that broadcasts many great shows
including my personal favorite, 'Democracy Now!' - herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPFKis a link to the KPFK
wikipedia page. KPFK is considered a progressive radio station that leans a little farther left than other media
stations.OK, so now you know the setup. How can you help? We'll be talking
about most things bike, starting with a brief synopsis of bike- friendliness in cities by author Jeff Mapes (Pedaling Revolutionhttp://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=0870714198&PID=33501), and followed by a short critique of bike-friendliness in LA and
what the city is doing to address cyclists' issues with its proposed Bicycle
Master Plan. This is where we need you to call in - (818) 985-5735.What would you like to see improved in our city? Most of the
listeners of this show will probably be driving in their automobiles. We want
to bridge the gap between drivers and cyclists, so let's talk about what we
want to see, not what we battle. We should save the fight for the next
show - our focus with this show is to celebrate the bicycle and how it
improves the quality of our lives. So call in and address the Bicycle Master
Plan - (818) 985-5735, and tell us your ideas for improving cycling in our
city.We'll be following up these segments with some bicycle culture, a
year-end review from Streetsblog http://la.streetsblog.org/'s Damien Newton, calendar and news, and hopefully, some bicycle back story combined
with clips from our interview with Richard Schwinn.We can't wait to hear from YOU!
