Strange how people think it cool to drive a "green" car, but if they meet someone who doesn't own a car, they infer financial limitation, not ecological choice.

The tragic mistake of human history is that we have either assigned meaning to skin color or tried to ignore its reality. Both are deeply flawed world views.
Ryan Bowen decided to ride his bike from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. to attend Obama's swearing-in ceremony. That's 50 days of cycling up to 150 miles a day in order to get to the goal.
Name one industry that hasn't yet suffered from the global gray economy. Personal hygiene? Snacks for couch potatoes? Nope, it's the global bicycle industry.
A commuter bike is defined, loosely, as a light, affordable, utilitarian bike fit for daily commuting. What's the best one in America right now?

I stood next to the Chicago river with a skinny little guy who had gotten it into his head that he was going to ride his rickety bicycle from the 'burbs to Argentina for twenty months in order to raise money for low-income students to go to college.
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.

Do you find yourself using a big car or truck when something smaller would do the job? Would you book an electric bike or golf cart or folding bike to cut your carbon footprint?
Whether influential, intriguing or simply offensive, these celebrities, politicians and pop culture icons have caught my eye for helping the planet, saving money on gas and looking sweet atop the seat.
There are a lot of great low tech things around us that could help us reduce our impact. Take the bike, the sweater, and the awning, for example. Here are three pieces of "old" technology that are invisible to most of us despite their power.
Inspired by such high-profile cyclists as Obama, Fey and Einstein, I've set to work amassing a comprehensive archive of 100 people we know, love--perhaps even despise--atop the bike.

Hahaha. hilarious...so wonder if they were clothes on the regular.
at least they saved a somewhat attractive pic for last.
i'd be all for some more nudist type stuff if we had a better handle on pedophilia, rape, sexual addiction, violent porn, etc.
1) Just because it's POSSIBLE to bicycle while naked does NOT mean it's a GOOD IDEA to bicycle while naked.
2) It's also clear: just because it's natural DOES NOT make it beautiful.
3) What's next? Will the nudists soon be celebrating the "joys of welding" by celebrating "World Naked Welding Day"?
No, really- YOU go first- show us how it's done!
Then again: No, we DON'T WANT to see how it's done.
4) Clearly: other issues going on here....
I've seen it done three times now, in York, UK. The first time, it's a bit of a shock, as they cycle by quite slowly, with bells and horns sounding and radios playing - acres of skin, acres of tattoos and body paint, a whole lot of fun in a way, but not quite like any "romantic" view of naturism. But then the next thing is that they stop and you talk to one of them - in my case, a middle-aged lady wearing the lower half of a ballet tutu and some body paint. The message is serious enough - the shock tactics may be a little dubious.
The second and third time, it's different - little or no shock impact, bit of a laugh, and that's about it.
However, the York rides have been modest in scale so far - much larger events in London and elsewhere must make much more impact. Part of the idea behind (!) cycling nude is to express how vulnerable the human body is to high-powered petroleum-fuelled vehicles. There is a serious point to be made there, especially in view of the people who collect their kids from school in their 4 x 4 off-roaders, insulated from the real world by tinted windows and air-conditioning.
Must be 'hard' on the guys.
Tomorrow is World Burn Your Bike Seat day.
LOL! I was just sitting here thinking "What a thing to do to a Brooks!"
