In Toronto, cyclists form a first-of-its-kind union
2008-06-09 01:36:00 Kathy Marks cocks her head, listening for the din of a thousand bicycle bells. For the Toronto grandmother, it’s a cue to hop on her three-speed bicycle and join a riding protest for more bike lanes in Canada’s largest city. But after several years of participating in this annual demonstration, she’s considering joining a new group of rabble-rousers to show her dissatisfaction with cycling conditions here: the Toronto Cyclists Union. “I’ve been riding my bike for nearly 40 years in the city, and it’s high time we have something like a union,” Ms. Marks explained last weekend. “I don’t fly around like the youngsters. But if we were able to have better bike lanes and benefits like a union, you’d see more people out here who are my age.”

Not only has this happened without any permission, it has been happening with the pretense of "helping" Bute Park.

Women Cyclists : Not in Vogue?
2008-02-25 21:50:00 I have found reading about Jeannie Longo so fascinating that I had to devote a post on her.I first heard about her in the work, Tour de France - Three Weeks to Glory by Samuel Abt, now a poor, old and torn book lying on my bookshelf.Its a little unreasonable that women are excluded out of our daily coffee table cycling talk. We easily remember Lance and his super human feats, how Merckx took part in almost every event in the racing calender and possibly managed to win them all, about Anquetil's relentless French conquest of the early Tours, Levi's time trial prowess, boy Boonen's classic but surely rabid sprint wins, Cipo's flamboyance this, Bartali and Coppi's that ... and so on and so forth.And so when it comes to publicity campaigns,flashy magazine ads or even a subjective agreement on who the greatest cyclists are, its quite obvious to see that limitations are only to men.How about the other gender, possibly half of the 6 billion people on earth? Even if a .01% of them bike...

Automatic turn indicators for cyclists.
2008-01-29 06:32:00 Safe Turn is an Australian invention aimed at improving safety for cyclists. It is a small automatic turn indicator to be attached to a sleeve or glove with a clip or an elastic strap. It is completely automatic; a tilt switch reacts as you raise your arm to signal a turn (you do signal your turns, don't you?) and starts the flashing light. As you bring your arm down after the turn, the switch turns the indicator off. Pretty smart. It is AUD 19:95 (about USD 18:-) a piece.

Former Madison mayor criticized for suggesting shooting cyclists
2007-12-10 06:03:00 A former mayor has become a bit of an Internet sensation after suggesting on his blog that bicyclists who venture out in snowstorms be shot. Former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin said he meant the comment to be subtle, ironic and topical. It also was a take off on a comment that got a suburban Milwaukee chemistry teacher in trouble. During a discussion about teacher salaries on a conservative blog, James Buss sarcastically wrote that Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold "knew how to deal with the overpaid teacher union thugs. One shot at a time!" Police in West Bend arrested Buss after another teacher complained about the post, but Washington County District Attorney Todd Martens said this week he would not charge him.

While members insist their Critical Mass ride -- six abreast and 1,500 strong -- is simply an attempt to give bicyclists additional road rights, the event typically includes numerous fights with motorists, the Los Angeles Times said Sunday. Limousine driver Dennis Webb said during one of the events he not only was forced to wait for up to hundreds of bicycles to pass but had his car vandalized by one rider.
