The vehicle can hold up to 16 people, and 10 of the seats are pedal-powered. One person can sit in the middle of the vehicle and help serve beverages and food to fellow partygoers. The charge is about $160 an hour. During one recent outing, Milwaukee Pedal Tavern brought a group from the bars along W. Blue Mound Road to Miller Park for a Milwaukee Brewers game.

Florida law requires bicyclists to use the bike lane if available

"It's a fear-based law," said Brad Kuhn, an avid rider and director of Bike/Walk Central Florida. Bicyclists need the flexibility to ride farther into the road to increase their visibility with motorists, Kuhn said. He added that bike lanes often are placed too close to parking spaces, making riders vulnerable to people who open their car doors without looking.

Naked cyclist fires lawyer, defends himself, wins

Lowe represented himself at the trial. He walked away with a NZ$200 (US$140) fine, and court costs, on his tab. The Johnsonviller decided to fight. On appeal, he took his lawyer. And walked away with a singular precedent. Justice Clifford of the Wellington High Court ruled that Mr. Lowe's behavior did not meet the standard of "offensive." According to reports in Der Spiegel (German), the ruling determined that one person finding a behavior offensive is not sufficient to support a conviction for offensive behavior.

OpEdNews - Article: Bicycle Officers May Get Cameras

Whose rights are abused? It's not always easy to know which side exaggerates - instant replay has long since moved to the streets and now even to the bicycle cops. The law must be overwhelmed now with asks to enforce civility in a world of savage housing and quality of life disparities.

Bike accessory leaves a trail of chalk behind you

Contrail1
Contrail is a device that applies chalk to the rear tire of your bike, leaving a trail behind you. It leaves trails for motorists and other cyclists to see, enabling bikers to "reclaim this crucial shared space." I'm not sure where you can get one or if it's even been physically realized, but I like the idea. It's like a cross between the prototype for the projected bike lane symbol and Bikes Against Bush, which sprayed chalk according to text messages. Via Cool Hunting.

man strikes bear with bike, both tumble down hill, both walk away

A middle school teacher in Montana was riding to school and came over a hill and was headed straight for a bear. He couldn't stop and "T-boned" the bear. "He tumbled over the handlebars, his helmet hit the bear's back and the two went cartwheeling down the road. The bear rolled over Litz's head, cracking his helmet, and scratched his back before scampering up a hill above the road. Litz's wife drove by shortly after the crash and took her husband to the hospital. He hoped to be able to return to teaching science at Target Range Middle School on Friday."
