hello happy pedal people

have a look at this website - http://www.streetfilms.org/ - it is full of great stories about individuals, organizations and cities taking back the streets from the madness of car culture.

I don't get it. Yesterday I was riding home and some guy passed me going the opposite direction and shouted something out his window. I'm only reasonably sure it was me he was shouting at because the one word I could hear was 'bike'...

Does anybody know when Bow Cycle has their sale days?
2-3 weeks ago they had one and I was just too late for a good deal. Had I known aout this event I would probably come way sooner.
BTW - do they have any newsletter that one can subscribe to?

So, my main reason for starting to bike commute had more to do with health than saving money. But being the pragmatic guy I am, I can't make a choice without considering the pros and cons of the whole affair. In the end the list of cons was only a few points: weather, safety, and time. The pros was a list longer than my arm with health (mental and physical) and saving money at the top. I have been going to a gym daily for more than a year, but the biking will bring it up to the next level.

The Calgary Stampede made has made an effort to introduce better and more visible bike parking during the ten days of Stampede this year.

Unfortunately they'll likely revert to their standard "tiny racks in hidden places" again as soon as Stampede is over.

Back in June bikecalgary.org hit a small milestone, with the arrival of the 500th registered user. Along with the many of you that visit this site as unregistered lurkers, we're now the central place in Calgary to discuss cycling and commuting issues. Thank you for helping to make that happen!

An event like this calls for a party - and one is coming in early September. Details will follow soon. In the meanhwile, spread the word to your friends, and perhaps we can celebrate the number 1000 by then.

cheers

We travel every summer in our motorhome...
This year (and last), we spent time in Canada - and love it! Thanks for being so welcoming!
:-)
We started a blog so our friends and family could see what we're up to. Here's the link: http://www.planetultra.blogspot.com

Happy Cycling!

im having like the worst bike season ever,
mechanical problems, i was sick for a month, weather, now my bikes were stolen.
both of them,
i was so pissed off.

i loved my bikes, im just a commuter, but i loved my daily commute, gets me out of traffic,

looking around, why are bikes so over priced, its like you have your walmart specials then you bump up into like the five hundred dollar range, which aren't much better then a walmart special,
then your pushing like a thousand bucks. so what, it can get stolen again, and they don't seem that much better then a mid range bike,
