Election voting guide: how to choose presidents

Submitted by arvi on Tue, 10/29/2013 - 3:29pm

Neile has talked about advocacy and Jerry has said he would make advocacy secondary to club rides. Your view about the importance of these things should certainly inform your vote, but you also need an opinion about what kind of rides we are likely to see available under each candidate to go with that. With that, I offer this chart as a helpful guide. It reflects my personal interpretation of this election.

Again: Disclaimer! this is my own post and no candidates have anything to do with it.

I want to volunteer for bike safety

Submitted by JonSilver on Mon, 10/28/2013 - 9:41pm

On November 6th, 2012 I was hit by car while cycling to work. The accident was bad, but I came through. To commemorate one year, I want to volunteer for bike safety. Anyone know how I can help give away bike helmets, work to promote safe bike lanes, etc.?

Thanks

Walkway Over the Hudson: please pedal gently!

Submitted by jzisfein on Mon, 10/28/2013 - 3:58pm

According to Fred Schaeffer (founder and CEO Emeritus of Walkway Over the Hudson, the 1.5-mile bridge over the river in Poughkeepsie that has been converted into a state park), park users are complaining about cyclists going too fast, not yielding to pedestrians, and endangering other park users. There's a possibility that the NY State Parks Dept. will listen to these complaints and prohibit bicycling on the bridge, either during certain hours or altogether.

I will be in LA for several weeks and am hoping someone can refer me to a place that rents road bikes. I have had no luck looking online. Thanks.
