Next week is bike to work week and while not *officially* a mountain bike event we thought you’d want a heads up. SFGate.com published an article with commuter fashion tips from none other than Mr. Gary Fisher himself and it’s worth a read if you’re killing time waiting for the weekend to start. It seems apparel companies are getting smarter about designing clothing that works well on the bike but also looks good for work (one woman even claims it’s easier to bike in high heels than to walk in them). I wouldn’t know about that myself.
The League of American Bicyclists website has a listing of bike events around the country during the month of May (national bike month) – find your local ride and bike to work next week!

This is just plain mean and threatening to a bicycle riders life, and quite possibly pedestrians in the same area. Finally some form of justice prevails for us bicycle riders!! Woo Hoo!!

COLORADO SPRINGS — Gov. Bill Ritter signed a bill today aimed at protecting the rights of cyclists.
The measure, Senate Bill 148, requires that drivers give cyclists at least 3 feet of space when passing or risk a $110 ticket.
Anyone who throws an object at a cyclist could be charged with a class 2 misdemeanor. That carries a fine of between $250 and $1,000 and a possible sentence of three to 12 months in jail.
The bill was sponsored by a bipartisan pair of avid cyclists — Republican Sen. Greg Brophy and Democratic Rep. Mike Merrifield. It will take effect Aug. 5.

Personally, I wish we could all go back to a simplier life, especially ones without vehicles. I rather walk or ride before driving! Thats just me though!
