Speaking of not knowing whats going on..

HELP US FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
We urge all friends of the bike to send a message to Mr. Ford explaining why he is way off-base. We recommend that you don't use any threatening terms or obscenities, as hard as that may be to do.
I found this with help from the The Urban Cyclist, who in turn got it from the Surly blog, who in turn got it from Dale at Kona.
One good turn deserves another.
This just in from right around the corner from where I spend my days toiling for the man.
"Upset driver goes after cyclist
Apparently frustrated that she had to wait for a cyclist to turn, a
woman driving a red sports utility vehicle chased down and hit the
cyclist on the Eastside around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The incident started at the intersection of Gault and Frederick streets
as the cyclist made a left turn onto Gault. The motorist followed the
cyclist, who was riding down Gault on the sidewalk, police said. The
motorist got in front of the bike and pulled into the sidewalk at an
angle, blocking the cyclist, police said.
When the cyclist tried to maneuver around the SUV, the motorist drove
into the bike, police said.
The cyclist suffered minor injuries, according to police.
The motorist fled the scene. Witnesses told officers the SUV might have
been a Mercury Mountaineer, that the driver was a heavy-set blond woman
in her late 40s and that the vehicle had a blue disabled placard hanging
from the rearview mirror."
Poor thing prolly had an important meeting at Curves she was late for.
Lets be careful out there, ok?

obviously the joker city counselor doesn't support health transportation. Look at that pic. The McDonald's is oozing out of his pores and into his hair.

It's a good thing I ride with a pair of fiberglass brass knuckels... though i'm still thinking about a cross bow.
