For Your Reading Pleasure

Posted by the village scribe on September 16, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Sincerest thanks to those who have recently phoned bits and pieces for blog fodder. Here, for your personal enjoyment and intellectual development, a piece in The Economist on bike safety, and another from the blog, “Free Range Kids,” on kids riding bikes to school.

I would very much love to hear your collective thoughts on either. Discuss amongst yourselves.

My Commute

Want a taste of what it's like to see our fair city from the perspective of a bicycle? Click here to watch my commute. (My former commute, that is. Now I ride from Raisin Township.) I can assure you it isn't nearly as bumpy as the camera makes it seem!

Reasons I Ride a Bike

My daughters | It's fun & I enjoy it deeply | For my health | The sense of simplicity | It's relatively inexpensive | The sense of self-reliance & independence | I see it as an act of public responsibility | The sense of being in or part of my environment | To be part of a community | Why not? | For a hobby (for lack of a better word), i.e., to have something other than work to do, think, & talk about | It clears my head in a way very few things do | It's capable of slowing the world down & teaching patience | When commuting, it's quicker than a car more often than not & you get better parking spaces | I've never been a car guy | To be outside | The view | What Would Lance Do? | It's fashionable (sometimes) | It's unfashionable (sometimes) | So I can order anything from the menu | For those who cannot & their supporters | The easy exchange of pleasantries with others while en route
