U.S. Secretary Peters Says Bikes 'Are Not Transportation'

20 August 2007 - 5:00am
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters can blow it out her wazoo.

If the secretary declares that bicycles are not legitimate transportation, then I suppose that means that we dont actually have to stop at stop signs and so fourth after all.
Im glad that we cleared that up.

And to continue on that point, I offer this.

The funny thing is, every point he makes, to my ears, sounds like hes arguing for bicycles.
'Bicycles will help alleviate an impending energy crisis?'
Yes.
'A 19th century solution to a 21 century problem?'
Yes.
Why not write your local representative and give em a little whatfor just the same? Or better yet, write Mr. McHenry here. As he only reads mail from within his own district, use the zip code 28603-0001. Tell him Stevil says hello. Again.
Thanks to The Ghostship and No Brakes for the info.

Some have declared 'An Inconvenient Truth' the most important film of the decade. After seeing this trailer, Im not so sure how true that statement is.

As usual, the Wednesday Night Ride went off without a hitch this week. Theyre never the same without somebody getting smashed.

And speaking of which, ifin youre in the neighborhood, why not swing by this bash in a week or so...

Now then, this fellow here next to Don is named Nick. Without his support and guidance in my younger days, I might have ended up wrenching on cars, or bagging groceries in my hometown. At some point I mentioned here on this thing to write a former teacher and tell them that they made a difference in your life. This is the man who made a difference in mine.
Thanks Nick.

Sky sent an email simply titled 'when not to hyphenate'. Every now and again, Ill share one of these gems with yall. For now, I present you with a favorite.

Hell, if my last name was Wang, and I had a daughter, I sort of feel like it would be my duty to ensure that she got hugged up with someone with Holder as a last name.
Of course I guess thats why the state might have forbidden me from having children.
However, at least Ive never tried to name a baby '@'.

Did I let you all know I picked up a new commuter bike?
Its true. Heres a clip shot on my way home last night.

How about a little serving of art that doesnt suck? Well there you go then.

Are you looking for a Friday Hero? Me too. Im at a bit of a loss this week.
As a cop out, why dont we all just have a look in the mirror?
Everyone have a damn fine weekend. Ive got a bit of 'new bike wood' that needs to be taken care of, so you know what Ill be doing.
Break out the proverbial cowboy hats and TransAms. Its Friday.

The Bandit would want it that way.
