Traffic Enforcement for Bicyclist Safety

I really think Austin needs to do something like this.

what the hell is wrong with people

Updated with anew picture... D is going to have a gnarly scar....




Last night my friend Darin was riding home, and was hit by car. The douche bag didn't bother to stop and while Darin was unconscious, someone stole his bike. He said that he doesn't remember anything. He was hit in the area of South 5th and Annie.



Darin guesses he was out for about an hour, in this time period, his bike was jacked. Who the fuck steals a bike while someone is laying in the street unconscious and bleeding?




If you know anything about this, pleas let me know. This all went down in between 12:30 and 2:00 AM.

This is all Darin remembers right now, when I find out more info, I will be sure to pass it along.


EDIT: Darin rides a Gray trek 830 w/ blue lettering. From mid 80's..... if you see that bike anywhere, lock it up with your lock.... and I will get you another one.

til next time

bike to work

Saw this over at Austin on Two Wheels, and wanted to repost it. I am wondering how many people will start biking to work?



This story at least didn't bash cycling....

why doesn't our cross have this?

Oh ladies of cross, how I love thee.....

this bike is a pipe bomb

I saw this and it made me laugh...


I remember hearing about this awhile back.... and it still makes me laugh :)
