You know that London has invested nearly £ 1 billion for bicycles and alternative transport in…

Have you seen these things!?  I feel like I'm about to be living in an age only paralleled by The Jetson's series.

I would say it's on that level of technology anyways.  Don't worry, we'll get the spaceships to fly around in anytime now.

But you can't argue with something so brutally efficient.  This thing hardly ever needs maintenance,  has amazing…

Want to know how to get around post-natural disaster in a metropolitan city?  Try a bicycle.  Why? Roads are closed, the subway is flooded, the bottleneck effect is huge.  Well how do you get more through put on a road?  Just use a smaller vehicle.  Are the fuel stations…

Why do a lot of drivers feel that many cyclists are inconsiderate   Well, part of this can be explained by the affect heuristic: a mental shortcut that allows people to make decisions and solve problems quickly and efficiently, while often leading them to inductive reasoning processes which inevitably result in false conclusions about a particular thing.

What does that mean in laymen terms? It means that if a driver gets cut off by one cyclist, then that results in…

So Ande and Brooke, on the 1Love Tour, which I will be joining shortly, have been very busy.  They're currently in Oregon, getting a sense of what bike culture is like there.  Ande did this short film about the "Bike Move," and what it's all about.  It's amazing stuff indeed, making a usually terrible experience into a fun one. Check it out!…

For those of you who have seen these informative shorts, you already know.  If you haven't done much research into the Dutch cycling culture, this is a great insight into it.  This video is full of statistics and bike riding.  I would go as far as to say America might benefit from incorporating some of this infrastructure and culture in our major cities.  Clutter, oil dependency, parking, and emissions issues may all be addressed by this reconfiguration. The Dutch have proven that…

Some Rails to Trails information for you all:

The U.S. Congress last week was handed the statistical analysis of the first three years of the groundbreaking Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTPP), which dedicated $25 million to each of four communities across the country to accurately demonstrate whether such investments equate to significantly higher levels of walking and bicycling, and a reduction in vehicle miles traveled.

"...an estimated 32 million…

"The final project "The use of Space" is going to be architecture Master Thesis - about how to use urban space, with bikes, skateboards or just simple with your body."

Hugo Rocha is a fixed gear rider in Porto, Portugal.  I've always agreed with anyone who said a bike, or anything other than a car, is a more efficient use…

Call it a trend, a phenomenon, or just interesting numbers.  I can't fully explain it, and I'm not a statistician.  The League of American Bicyclists did this article about how America is taking less trips by car.  How often do you take your bike?…

She puts it so succinctly.  If you're apprehensive about getting around by bike, this is good advice to follow.

I saw this on Prolly's site, and I had to repost it.  This is great stuff.  Charity and bicycles is like peanut butter and jelly.  I really enjoy what he says about traveling by bike: you see more than you ever would in an car, and you're more aware of what's happening around you.  You meet more people, and you can change the world.

Although some people are real fundamentalists when it comes to bicycles, I must admit I'm a bit more open minded.  This machine just looks cool.  It's a speedy little electronically assisted bike made by Specialized.  When I look at this bike, I see an opportunity to get people on bicycles in a big way, even if they are electric.  Just think of the amount of people willing to ride a bike if they didn't have to work as hard to do it.  Those who aren't as zealous could integrate the bicycle…

There are studies done all the time about how bicycling can benefit society.  I find them all interesting, but you and your friends may be intrigued by this study.  According to Andy Clarke, president of the American League of Bicyclists, the US could stand to save $17 billion dollars in healthcare costs if one third of the people in the country commuted by bicycle.  Just think about that.  Don't like paying doctor bills?  Buy a bicycle.…

It's been a hot topic around the country, and here near Washington DC.  Everyone could benefit from safe routes for kids to get to and from school on their bikes.  It would cut down on rush hour traffic and create a positive fitness culture for young children.

These ladies are biking across America to spread the word and advocate for better bike routes for kids to get to school.  Read the article…

The world is changing, be it economic or social.  This article was written to bring attention to the statistics, and a slump in auto sales.  The war between car makers and the youth wages on!…

So I already posted about these guys, but I can't get enough of them.  The first video was about how they made and prepared, this is the actual ride, and the consumption of the wonderful alcoholic nectar that was transported.  What a beastly undertaking.  Majorly cool.  Enjoy!

A 58 year old man had Parkinson's for 10 years, and managed to function fairly normally due to his biking routine.  He rides about 6 miles per day.  Just another reason why biking is awesome.  Read the article here.…

Bikes have all sorts of practical uses.  Some are more practical than others.  This use I find very fascinating.  A family in Kentucky moved most of their belongings by bicycle.

 “This fun event proves that bikes are not only a feasible mode of transportation, but are powerhouses and efficient users of energy.”…

I'm not trying to say he was in the right, but this cyclist was fed up with disrespectful motorists.  I thought to myself, was the silver car really getting that much far ahead by forcing himself into the lane with the cyclist?  It's sort of funny if you ask me.  What do you think?

I found this video quite interesting.  Why is it we behave differently in different contexts?  I've always found that most of the time people walking or biking are much more understanding and courteous than those who are surrounded by a steel box propelled by fossil fuels.  Blame it on endorphins perhaps, but there's something to the notion that riding is not only fun, it changes who we are for the better.  We all get worked up when traffic is uncooperative, but its not often we get mad at…
