Anything that shows transportational cycling is not such a daring-do astounding feat, and can be accomplished by anyone who can make a bike go, is a good thing. RetroGrouchBilly might wanna dip his oar in about the focus on women cyclists. IME women riders bring a civilising and pro-social effect to bear on traffic. Even if their presence causes drivers to slow down and ogle, at least they slow down. Better they should watch where they're going, though. And there are some Nervous Nellie men who say they'd like to ride, but they have their "reservations" (i.e: fears) about it. The women in the article have no such reservations. Including the various local-to-CU cycling resourses in the article was a nice touch. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

Saw them a bunch of times riding by when I lived in the area, but never stopped. Surprised the News-Gazoo published an article about bicycles. -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 LOCAL CACTUS EATS CYCLIST - datakoll |

http://www.news-gazette.com/news/peo...ansportati on Champaign Urbana, IL Interesting article. "All weather" cycle commuting was the most unusual part. Most people seem to consider cycling a fair weather activity. My wife is a bike commuter, she's like the woman described in the article who needs to be outdoors a lot -- perhaps most of us do. After a 20 mile ride Saturday in overcast, chilly weather with nearly gale force winds, she remarked all day about what a great ride it was. I always remind her she says that about every ride. |
