Wear a helmet, because I love you

Police in Denmark stop cyclists on the street, hug them, and give them helmets.

Biking to Discover What It Means to Be Green

Hello,

My name is David.

On August 15th I am going to begin a 450-mile bike ride to protest the BP oil spill and to discover what it means to be green.

I'm blogging about the whole experience at: http://www.bpBiker.com

Hopefully this information is of interest to you and your local community.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

David Vanadia

Family Picnic Ride This Sunday, 7/25, at noon & Longer Ride

All welcome on a picnic ride to Taylor Park in Millburn, leaving at noon from the NJ Transit Parking Lot at Maplewood Ave. & Baker. The ride is being mapped by SOMbike's Mapping Committee and will be an easy 3 miles. Lately, we have had as many kids as adults on our rides.
If you want to get a long ride in early Sunday morning, contact: Huzefairfani@yahoo.com

Cycling 201

Kirk Sohr and I are teaching a class with the Adult School, called Let's Ride. It assumes you already know how to ride. The class covers bike handling skills, what you need to know about riding in traffic, and some basic bike repair skills. Here is an article about it.

Patch put up some photos, too.

Next Family Ride: Maplewoodstock, July 11th, Noon, The Baird

Maybe you regret missing out on the original Woodstock. Maybe you've never attended Maplewoodstock or you've tried driving there and were hassled by the traffic. Now's your chance to take a leisurely ride with your neighbors and arrive in style. I promise not to hum, "...and we've got to get ourselves back to the gar-den..."

"sharrows" = sharing arrows...
I think its a great, simple solution that does not add to the visual clutter of road signs and is flexible enough to continue from a wide boulevard to narrow street...
and is clear about who has to share the road with whom :)
