Diane Dulkan’s “Joyride”
I bet if you like to read while you drive like when you’re puttering along in rush hour molasses, this book would make you bike to work the next day.
We Make Our Culture
…and we debate our culture a lot. It is interesting to me the difference between the passive observer and the hopeful evangelist. This bike forums thread is a perfect cap to my trip: a very two sided discussion about the power of cars in the Angeleno (and American culture).
We are faced with peak oil, global warming, and economic contraction. We are betrayed by global capitalism and no garuantees of a not-poor retirement, or even senior heath care.
How many generations of poverty will it take to convince Americans that a 80 mile commute and a house is not a reasonable expectation? One.
We already have solutions to obesity, high blood pressure, type II diabetes, smog, 40,000 annual traffic fatalities, road rage, chronic debt, auto theft, grid lock and suburban sprawl. Go live that solution, please. And you’ll be healthy when you get there.

I should check this web comic out. Author: Christopher Baldwin
Florence – Honeyman campground
You can reserve a yurt. Near the beach. About 70 miles from Eugene. Found out that family is moving out there.
Hydrogen as Fuel
Chris notes that hydroigen would be good fuel for trains because the number of distribution stations is relatively small. Better than for a car network.
Beans!
Beananza from Burpee
Darker green.
What is the advertising value of a shopping basket?
What is the realestate of an unused parking lot worth? What if shopping baskets grew pedals and you just rode them home, leaving the parking lots mostly devoid of cars? Why are supermarkets not leaders in the elimination of two-mile car trips by championing cargo bicycle shopping? They could provide single speed upright posture trikes that carry full baskets of groceries. Sell advertising on the baskets and let shoppers just ride them home and back. They don’t need to be fancy bikes, they just need to be accessibly built and not tip over.

I hope the solar panels on the white house last their lifetime, not merely the remainder of this administration. But they will put them up there!

Reduce congestion–Win a bicycle (PeoplePoweredMovement.org)
I had never heard of Paul Goodman, either. Write about your alternative (non automotive) transportation hopes to your representatives and possibly win a bicycle.
