Traveling by bicycle, one mile at a time
“I got on a bicycle and rode it a mile. I did that 45 times each day, for 89 days.”
That's how David Jones of Vancouver, Wash., described his cross-country bicycle tour to a reporter at The Columbian newspaper recently.
Breaking up a 4,022-mile bicycle journey into bit-sized pieces was the easiest way for the 55-year-old to tackle the challenge. Before this bike tour, his longest bike ride had been about 15 miles. At times in the Rockies ….

Financial planner gets “bailout” in hit and run vs. cyclist near Vail
If you're outraged by this lack of justice, sign the petition at Change.org: DA Mark Hurlbert: Don't Drop Felony Charges Against Hit and Run Wealth Manager
A Denver-based financial planner will be charged with two misdemeanor traffic charges, but not felony hit-and-run, after he allegedly hit a bicyclist from behind near Vail, Colorado, and didn't stop.
The prosecutor in the case, District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, said he chose not to seek the felony charges because it would effect the driver's ability to make restitution for medical costs to the victim.
The victim, Dr. Steven Milo, is “livid” about the case, according to the Vail Daily. Milo objected in writing to the district attorney about the case, which he says “has always been about responsibility, not money ….

Is this the winter for amphibious bicycles in the Pacific Northwest?
Whenever I read a long-range forecast for the upcoming winter in the Pacific Northwest, each one says wetter than normal — expect streams and rivers to overflow their banks for widespread flooding.
Must be time to look into the amphibious bicycle. Just ride along down your favorite road, deploy the floaties when you hit deep standing water, and pedal on.
Floating bicycles are not unheard of. I easily found a patent for one dating to 1981. Forbes.com touts an inventor from India who put one together over a three-day period during the monsoon season in his region. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the high-tech amphibious bike created by students at the University of Southampton …..

Painted bicycles mystify Muskegon
A number of freelance pieces of art have been appearing around downtown Muskegon, Michigan, lately — brightly painted bicycles chained to lampposts, bicycle racks and chainlink fences.
So far eight bicycles have been set up around town since mid-October. Sometimes they're moved from one location to another in the dead of the night. One, a pink bicycle that carried a breast cancer awareness message, was repainted yellow.
The only thing they have in common, besides being bicycles, is that each has a picture of an old-fashioned drill bit stenciled below the handlebars. If there's a theme to the spray-painted bicycles, no one has figured it out yet ….
