There’s a big hole in Cedar Lane!
If you ever drive across Bethesda into Kensington, your path is now altered. I asked one of the guys working here about the project. When finished there will be a bike lane and a better bridge. Hopefully they’ll make the road wider, so cars will be fully able to, um… share the road (since cyclists never use the path anyway).
Bike Powered Mobile Coffee Bar Hits the Streets of New York
Kickstand Coffee is a new mobile java shop in New York that is inspired by, transported by and powered completely by bicycles.
Fishki.Netjust cause youre doing something to save the planet, doesnt mean you own the planet. its a two way street(no pun intended) i live in liberal ass western WA, and bicycleists here think they dont have to obey the rules of the road and fuck up all sorts of traffic, so suck my clit.
Cyclist here in the DC area flaunt the same holier than thou attitude. We have “Share the Road” signs on some major thoroughfares, so they probably feel a sense of vindication even when causing passing cars to slow down to half speed instead of passing.
What makes me want to throw something made of brick as I pass is when they fly right through stop signs and red lights. If “share the road” is mandated, when does the cyclist obeying traffic laws come into play?
Don’t worry, there are no bricks in my car and even if there were, I can’t throw for shit. Watch out for my door though.
nice old bike (via shawnblog)

Oh! talking about him, I delivered the package at UPS this morning….so excited! I wish I was a fly on the wall (ok…rather be a butterfly) to see his face when he opens the box.
Yes!
A good idea. Google, are you listening?
“To: Google, and the Google Maps teamWe would like a ‘Bike There’ feature added to Google Maps — to go with the current ‘Drive There’ and ‘Take Public Transit’ options….”“Help us show the Google Maps team that we really really want the ability to get bicycle directions via the main Google Maps interface. We can get driving directions for cars, we get can wonderful mass transit directions, and now we want the ultimate in sustainability and self-reliance and exercise and healthy living - bicycle directions.”
Leonid Stadnik’s towering height of 8 feet 5 inches (2.57 meters) may seem intimidating, but the former veterinarian’s charm and beaming smile have won over countless people. Stadnik…
For years, Livable Streets advocates have pleaded with New York City’s Department of Transportation to just try new things. Do street design experiments using temporary materials. Give new ideas a shot. If an experiment doesn’t work, take it down, redesign it, improve it or, heck, just restore it to how it used to be. What do we have to lose? If we don’t start figuring out new ways to design and manage New York City’s streets, all we’re left with is a future of ever-increasing gridlock, pollution and honking.
Finally, under the administration of new DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, innovation is happening on New York City’s streets. And it is happening fast.
Yesterday, StreetFilms’ Clarence Eckerson was down on Ninth Avenue in Chelsea when he stumbled across DOT’s new cycle track — the first significant length of physically-separated bike path ever installed in New York City’s urban core. Though the project was announced just weeks ago, the city has already built a quick-and-dirty version using inexpensive temporary materials.
Amazing. I guess we can check this off of the Livable Streets movement’s 2007 New Year’s resolution list.
