with my own two wheels
let's take a few minutes to leave san francisco, and visit the countries of zambia, ghana, india and guatemala.
this video shows the lives of four people whose lives have been transformed by bicycle in very different ways. a farmer can visit aids patients as a caregiver as far as 10 miles away and make it home in time for dinner. a disabled person is now a bike mechanic at a bike co-op created by boston's bikes not bombs. a ninth grade girl can now go to school and discovers she likes solving math problems. the air quality for one guatamalan farmer led him to founding an organization that helps rural mayans by inventing bicimaquinas, a 100% recycled product. they are half discarded bike, half old (formerly polluting) machines. bicimaquinas are transformed into a new machine that "fills the gap between the artisinal and the industrial."
this is brought to you by hubub films, world bicycle relief and bikes not bombs.
please be sure to take some time out of your day to watch.
h/t to bike hugger.

friday fun times: shower cap edition
need i say more? checkered side mirror, patterned shower cap.
a reader of ours, el tejano, posted some more pics of golden gate park's parking woes. here are a few. go over to his flickr to check out the rest!
these pictures might illustrate a little more of what is confusing some people in my description in this post. sorry! is not the easiest to explain, which is probably why there is confusion surrounding it in the first place. i plan on going to the park at some point this weekend and see if i can get more pics of the confusion. but also more pics of empty spaces so you can see what it is supposed to look like.
have a great weekend!

Thug Life
The bicycle gangs of San Francisco don't care about colour and they are recruiting young.
All you need to hang at the corner is a bicycle.
The Best Always Comes Back Again
I took this picture in April 2009.
And KT got 'em again over at Vélo Vogue. It is because they are just too awesome for one blog!
Correction- Ramona Wheelright is the VV awesomeness on the other end of the link : )
