whoa! awesome project from Community Bikes in nearby Hamilton, NY. they’re a bike recycling group who serves Central New York and it would appear some international communities in the Carribean and east Africa as well. well done folks! keep up the good work! (via Post-Standard)

adventure time!

No question about it: bike ridership is up dramatically in L.A. You see it all over the city.

—Antonio R. Villaraigosa, Mayor of Los Angeles, CA in a NY Times article about growth of bike ridership in LA. riding in Syracuse for 4 years now, I’d say this rings true of our hometown too.
