Bike Buddy – Vote early & Vote often!

Transportation Alternatives needs you and your friends to vote for BikeBuddy. This new program is a kin to a biking version of Meetup.com. Imagine networking with fellow commuters who use the same bike paths, or discovering someone else’s shortcut across town OR, better yet, finding fellow foodies for a taco run!

Sidenote – @noneck, one of the curators of this site, has been hired by TA to help organize their social media.

“…one man has had enough. And he’s using flowers to prove it. Forget stuffing them down the barrels of guns, Pete Dungey has been tirelessly ridding Oxford of its potholes by filling them up with primroses…” from Guardian Bike Blog.

workcycle, putting the in S in SUV.

on my block, my bike, a batavus personal bike, is the closest thing to the heavy-ass, all you can carry, i’m going to blind you with my headlights, watchout he’s taking up the whole lane SUV. but in good old amsterdamn, the bakfiets, those awesome dutch bucket bikes, have moved up from hipster/squatter transport to the loathed SUVs of Amsterdam…

i don’t know if this new super-extended bakfiet is a joke, a kin to workcycle’s anti-theft spray, but it sure does put the S in Sweet Urban Velo! i hope to god workcycle builds this puppy!
