Come On Aileen

For those of our readers out there on the East Coast of the United States who are waiting for the storm to make land, stay safe! If you haven't done it yet, make sure your bicycles are ready to go! They don't need gas, they don't need good roads and for those places the hardest hit, they could be your only way to get around for a few day. If you can, make sure you have spare tubes and tools to fix minor problems along the way. If you have to evacuate, try to take your bicycles with you so you will have low tech transportation when you get back in.



Good luck and see you on the other side!



Addendum-I know it is Hurricane Irene, but I like the song.

Radio On

Recently, I was asked to help out with a PSA campaign the SF Bicycle Coalition is conducting in advance of Bike To Work Day. Studio space, editing assistance, and air time were all donated by Clear Channel Radio and will be airing in the near future.

There are five spots all together. Each spot is from a different person with a different take on cycling in the SF Bay Area (including a 10 year old boy).

For more on Bike To Work Day, including how to do it, how to find people to do it with and how to help organize an event in your area, go here.
