Carbon Trace

On the Carbon Trace blogroll you’ll find a link to ChipSeal (also mentioned in this post). The author, Reed Bates, is a bicycle blogger in Texas, and he’s recently had run-ins with the “law.” Those quotes indicate irony. Commute Orlando has a round-up of the events so far. And you can follow the story is great detail on the ChipSeal site.

I bring this to your attention because bicyclists have the same privileges to use the road as the drivers of automobiles. We cannot afford to let those privileges become marginalized. We cannot afford to let it become common sense that bicycles do not belong on the road.

Please take the time to learn his story. And please consider donating to his defense fund.
