Carstache

Just like the website says, it's a moustache for your car. It is, allegedly, "glorious."

Unsurprisingly, there is a bikestache option too.

Thank you, Lisa.

Bike Hatred Spreads South

Way South. A man in Brazil drove his (sweet) black VW through a crowd of cyclists last Friday. He claimed self-defense! Bold.

I think he was just trying to big league the cab driver in San Diego who drove into the front of a club and severed a leg or two.

Ode to stranger with bike pump

Your fixie is pink and green
Your English is poor
But we speak the universal language: bike pump
You thought only my back tire needed air
You were wrong
Why were you taking tire tubes out of the dumpster?
I will never know
Regardless, I thank you.

Sharrows blowing up

This blog has a lot of good info about biking in LA, and news about the installation (application?) or Sharrow signage on Fountain in Hollywood.

I still am unable to figure out how to easily cross La Cienega on a bike. Somebody throw down some Sharrows!

Take my bike, please

Just don't shoot me first.

Leather shorts at Coachella

Are you kidding me, whowhatwear? Refinery29 is more reasonable, though no one wants to see me in another vest. I also like what they have to say about cute clothes for biking.

Also I am ready for some new sunglasses.

Google Maps now offering bike routes

It's still in beta but fun to try out.

The suggested routes for West Hollywood to Venice are not bad.

Freeway of Bicycle Love!

Show me this bike freeway and I will ride on it.

Quit your job, enjoy Earth while it lasts

According to a new study, developed nations need to halt economic growth to even try to stay within a liveable temperature range.

That's fine with me; I am dying to quit my job anyway! I will play my iPod via a bicycle-powered generator while snacking on some home-grown tree bark. See you there!

Long Beach wants to be most bike-friendly city in the US?

Cool!

Also, I would buy that shirt.

Bike power

Cars are officially superfluous.

The Tweed, Moxie & Mustache Ride

This is real.

Bike Locks in Flemish

This video proves two things I already know:
1) Most bike locks I see are ineffective against the determined thief.
2) Flemish sounds more like gibberish than any other language on Earth.

Humpty Dumpty

As a newcomer to the casual cycling community in LA, I rejoice in this conviction of a guy who tried to kill a couple cyclists with his car.

I do not rejoice in being called a "Humpty Dumpty" but a lady who biked past me (as I, admittedly, lingered when a red light turned green) in Santa Monica last night. Is that a threat? Lady, we are all in the fight against cars together! Five fingers unite to make a great fist.
