What kind of idiot racing sport allows non-race participants on the course? Pretty much just cycling.

You never know. It could happen.

I don't think there's any connection other than the location of one of them.

"Real cyclists" will be fine, thanks. These are about increasing bicycle usage for the beginning/casual cyclist.

Late for this year's list, but check Ohio Street in Buffalo for next year.

So basically, Bucky, you don't have a clue. You just like to yak.

Pretty much. I blame the front office and the coaching staff. Darcy has brought in some good players, but he doesn't understand anything about bringing players in that play well *together.* And when the team plays with energy- initiates, hustles, hits, makes clean passes- they win, or are at least competitive and fun to watch. Instead, Rolston tolerates a lazy game with sloppy passes and no hustle. I think we've seen enough of them. Time to show them the door.

Re: The laser light that could cut cyclist deaths

Fixing a problem that's already solved. Just use a decent headlight and be done with it. They've had tail lights that project laser "bike lanes" for some time now, and they are totally unnoticeable. I'm sure this is the same.

Re: President Obama’s Brilliant Strategy No One Seems To Recognize

doohickie — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 08:13:05 -0000

I personally see Obama's maneuvering as part of a bigger diplomatic strategy. I don't think a direct attack on Syria is in his ultimate plan, but he is using the threat of an attack as pressure on Syria, and also on other nations, to force a non-military solution to the problem of chemical weapons. I think (speculating here) that his end game is to get UN inspectors into Syria and have chemical weapons decommissioned.

Evidence that he doesn't really want a direct attack is that he does, as Commander-in-Chief, have the authority to order strikes, but chose to consult Congress. This is a stalling tactic; I'll bet there's a lot of diplomatic activity behind the scenes.

My prediction is that the UK will propose to the UN that an inspection team be assembled and go to Syria, presenting it as a more palatable option than the US sending missiles over to Syria. Without the threat of an attack, I don't think the Chinese and Russians would agree to inspection teams, so Obama has to present a credible threat of attack to get the leverage over those who would otherwise veto an inspection program.

Let's see how it plays out.

I got GDR2 for my HTC 8X two weeks ago. Not sure what this is all about. I think the writer took a status message and wrote a whole backstory to confirm his anti-HTC bias.

Hard to imagine you can discuss the Rangers season without mentioning Leonys Martin, and his role in rejuvenating Elvis and Kinsler by assuming the leadoff role.

Re: Shaw Clarke named Neighborhood of the Year | City of Fort Worth, Texas

doohickie — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:52:51 -0000

Congrats to Shaw-Clarke. I am a cyclist who rides from far south Fort Worth the Near Southside regularly. I have used the tunnnel that connects Shaw between 5th and 6th avenues in the past, it frankly it was a little intimidating going through there after dark, with the 90 degree bend and all. Looking forward to trying it again after your efforts to clean it and keep the lights on. Your efforts *are* noticed by people from other parts of the city. Thank you for your efforts.

Hey there... I thought I would point out a blog I found that has a lot of natural recipes. It's called Vegetarian Cyclist. I've met Chandra once or twice. He's a pretty good guy.

Sounds like you had some tough times down there. I'm relieved to hear you made it out together. Many people never even attempt something like you did these last few months; even if it was a nightmare (which it kind of sounds like it was), you bring back experiences that most people can't even imagine.

Regroup, recharge, and relax... more adventures await.

Glad to have you back with us in the States.
