Portland Goes Platinum Apr 30, 2008

Show notes

PORTLAND, OR - Local advocates, planners, and politicians have worked hard to get Portland to meet the League of American Bicyclists "Platinum" Designation. Davis California was the first City to meet this designation but Portland is the first large city to win the award.
Of course there is a lot more to do to make Portland a better, safer place to ride but there has been huge strides made in just the last two decades and this award recognizes that dedication and results.
But, the bar to attain Platinum will be continually raised so the City can't rest on it's laurels. Can Portland go double platinum?

Hal Grades Your Bike Locking 5-years Later Apr 28, 2008

Show notes

NEW YORK CITY, NY -
From the StreetFilms Blog and Clarence Eckerson, Jr.
Nearly five years ago, legendary bike mechanic Hal Ruzal and I walked the streets surrounding Bicycle Habitat and graded the bike locking ability of New Yorkers - producing many humorous and enlightening anecdotes. The resulting video aired frequently on bikeTV and at many festivals, and because of it - Hal is still frequently asked by complete strangers to judge their bike locking.
I always endeavored doing another, but as with most sequels you need a new wrinkle. This time we thought we’d give Hal some company and invited former Recycle a Bicycle mechanic Kerri Martin (and founder of The Bike Church in Asbury Park, NJ) to weigh in with her expertise. Once again, bikes on the streets of SoHo provide lots of fodder for laughs and lessons to learn.
We didn’t plan to but we walked the same loop and even used the same one-hour time frame. The results? The grades were a little better than five years ago. Sure, still some bad locking out there, but many more people are now sporting multiple locks and better strategies! Good news, maybe we made a difference after all…

No Country for Old Men - No Earthday for Motorcars Apr 17, 2008

Show notes

OK, so I look like the bad guy from No Country for Old Men.
But the Cohen bros. and Javier Bardem nicked the look from me.
And if you don't ride your bike on Earth Day then my 1958 quarter dollar and I might just have to pay you a visit.
Don't forget, Mother Nature bats last and Earth day is April, 22nd.
