Reminder: World premiere of “Women of Dirt” tonight in Seattle! The DVD is out btw and can be ordered online. Washington’s “Vulnerable User” legislation is already further along than a similar bill made it last year. Jonathan Maus at BikePortland.org raises the question of why a local newspaper seems deliberately provocative (one might say antagonistic) [...]

The Facebook protest against bike-hate continues to grow. Now there’s a “Help REMOVE this HATE GROUP against cyclists!” tribe. All instructions included. The outrage targets a Facebook page showing violence against cyclists as an appropriate traffic-management technique.
