Although elegant, I enjoy reading with it in the case; the case gives it a little more bulk. Overall, if you travel often, like to read, or re...

Well, I wouldn't ride every ...

We Built Another World: Study Shows Bike Lanes Result in Closer Passing
http://webuiltanotherworld.blogspot.com/2009/09/study-shows-bike-lanes-result-in-closer.html
We Built Another World. I live in Washington, DC; this is my blog. Friday, September 25, 2009. Study Shows Bike Lanes Result in Closer Passing. Determined that motorists pass cyclists closer when bike lanes are present. Washcycle. Does a nice job discussing the study. Is the average passing distance what matters? Or is it the outliers - those who pass extremely close - that matter? The question to ask is there a higher rate of accidents per cyclist on roads with bicycle lanes? Going up a Metro escalator.

We Built Another World: Why I Ride
http://webuiltanotherworld.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-i-ride.html
We Built Another World. I live in Washington, DC; this is my blog. Monday, July 06, 2009. After some time in Maryland and DC on my steel horse, I passed by Revolution Cycles in Georgetown. I've been to Revolutions twice to pick up accessories; they're courteous helpful and an overall great bike shop; so, I tend to give a nod when I pass. Pinned up in the front window was a notice announcing the arrival of the new electronic shifting system. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Going up a Metro escalator.
