Bike Thief

This is an old video now, but we were talking about it this weekend so when I ran across it in my YouTube favorites, I thought I would throw it up here so everyone can enjoy.

Coalition Monthly Meeting

The Fresno County Bicycle Coalition will hold its March 2008 meeting on Thursday, March 20th, 2008.

We will be on the south side of Shaw, along the frontage road at 9th St. Bring your bike inside the gate, or if you drive there is plenty of parking in the front along the frontage road. The building is the one furthest to the west, along 9th St. Enter through a gate next to the street. If the gate is locked call Ed: 559-892-8996.

There is a kitchen with microwave, fridge, bottled water, etc., so bring your dinner (or sometimes we order pizza). RSVP through Upcoming, or just show up. We're looking forward to seeing you!

Bike There on Google Maps

Wouldn't it be cool to have a "Bike There" link on Google Maps? I use Google Maps a lot. Usually I click "Avoid Highways" and when I know the area I manually tweak the route to follow the Good Bike Way.

But usually I'm using the map to find directions to a place I've never biked to before. It would be awesome to get bike friendly directions. Turns out I'm not the only one who thinks so. Check out the Google Maps Bike There blog. It's a grassroots effort to ask Google to change the way their map works.

Pedicabbing at the Rogue Festival

Early March is usually a pretty good time to ride a bicycle in Fresno. It's also Rogue time! I highly recommend you get on your bicycle and go check out some shows this weekend. But if you'd rather not, an excellent second option is a pedicab. Click on over to Jeff's blog to take a pedicab tour of Rogue 2008, and give me a call if you're having trouble finding a cab after the show; those boys will not disappoint.

And while you're at it, don't miss a great show at a fantastic new venue: Elle Pepper's show The Wanderer has moved to a new venue: Tower Velo! You have to see the new Tower Velo to believe the place. It is fantastic. Three more shows this coming weekend. Check the Rogue site for details.
