Drop by the Philly Weekly for my new piece on the proposed bike laws. Read it, and then come back here for a few additional comments. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

OK, that’s enough time. The Weekly had to edit my original piece down for space, and there are a couple of points that [...]
Bill Hangley Writes a Letter to Stu Bykofsky
Hi Stu:
RE: your bicycle column of 11/23:
Obviously, the more bikes on the streets, the more important it is for bikers to respect the rules and not ride recklessly. At the same time, the bike has to be recognized for the flexible, human-scale thing that it is – it’s not a car, and the world will [...]
Stu Bykofsky’s Temper Tantrum
Oh dear. Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky is having a temper tantrum about bicycles. Let’s take a look and see if we can count the inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and mistakes in his latest “when-I-was-a-boy-we-ate-wool-and-we-liked-it” freakout.
JUMP ON MY handlebars. Let’s go for a ride.
Almost guaranteed to be a fiction: in all probability, Stu didn’t ride a [...]
Philadelphia’s Proposed Bike Laws are the Product of Morons.
Dan U-A breaks down Philly’s proposed new bike laws. They are idiotic, developed by two morons, Jim Kenney, who obviously haven’t been on a bicycle since they were children:
As we all know by now, Councilmen Kenney and DiCicco have decided that the city needs new laws to regulate bicycles. These proposed regulations include:

Read More..>>Some Asshole Douchebag Stole My Bike Wheel. Again.
I lost the cable I’d been using to secure both wheels a few weeks ago. I knew I should’ve bought a new one, but it’s too late to cry now. Some motherfucking crackhead douchebag asshole fuckface stole my rear wheel, again.
The rear wheel is always the more expensive, since it has to come [...]
Thanks to My Donors!
Big thanks to EVERYONE who helped out with donations over the past couple of weeks, including Maya, Peter, Gary from Allentown who sent me a $10 bill in the mail, and the always divine Alexandra the Purloined Sirloin. I raised almost exactly enough to afford that new bike wheel, which I’m picking up tomorrow.

Bike Wheel and Bass Bag Update!
Thanks to Alexandra, Gary, and Peter, I am about 75% of the way to my new bike wheel. Anyone else who wants to contribute toward my fight against global warming (and toward firming up my ass), please use the paypal link on the right sidebar.
As it stands I’ll be buying my new wheel on [...]
Bass Bags and Bike Wheels
Hey! Someone sent me a present!
i just got my first sweet little donation toward my bike wheel and/or bass bag!
But one gift, generous as it is, won’t help me solve global warming by biking or help bring old-time and bluegrass music to the teeming masses by protecting my bass.
So again I ask you: click [...]
