Escape From The American Dream

Today I begin a new series on Carbon Trace (haven’t come up with a name for it yet … perhaps the headline because, yeah, I enjoy irony). It is related to my long-running and still-active series called Our Urban Challenge. On Monday, my wife and I will sign a lease for a loft in downtown [...]

OMG! So Rude! (Not)

Rude, Unethical, Etc. Revisited

Yikes! Be sure to pay close attention at 1:17 in this video. What you’ll see and what you’ll hear ought to blow your mind. It’s stunning. I suppose this could be a parody of clueless hipsters. I mean, how could anyone be so blind as to miss hypocrisy of this magnitude? For example, how can one edit [...]

Bicycle Lanes: Gotta Love Close Passes

What started as documenting another new bicycle lane turned into a textbook example of motorist behavior. Take a look… How did you like the squeeze play toward the end — entirely caused by the bicycle lane. If I had been controlling the lane, the motorist behind me would have waited until it was safe to [...]

Filming First Friday

I’ll be downtown this evening candidly videoing bicyclists for my upcoming documentary film I’d Rather Ride In Springfield. So if you’re coming downtown by bicycle — and many people do — keep an eye out for me. To update you on my progress: I’ll be getting interviews this month as well as more bicycling video. [...]

There’s Something Happening Here

UPDATE: I have confirmed that the paint on Cherry east of Glenstone is intended to be a bicycle lane. The engineer I contacted said that the lane should have been painted 5.0 feet from the face of the curb and 3.0 feet from a pavement seam such as the edge of gutter. What it is ain’t exactly [...]

New Lane Feature: Broken Glass!

So the City has painted a gutter lane on a perfectly good street thus, in my opinion, turning it into a no-so-good street. Why not-so-good? As the video shows — and every bicycle lane advocate knows — cars tend to sweep the streets. So gutter lanes fill up with all kinds of debris. The narrower [...]

Motorist Passing Behavior

Sadly, Keri Caffrey edited out what I considered the best line in her wonderful video Bicycling In Traffic Is A Dance You Must Lead. It was something like “Your confidence makes them perform better.” I swear I would come close to tearing up at that point every time I watched the video. She told me [...]

The Trailer For My Documentary

Here’s the trailer for my upcoming (October 2012) documentary film I’d Rather Ride In Springfield. I hope the trailer conveys both the mirth and seriousness I’m bringing to this project. While trailer scenes are always cherry-picked, the Springfield scenes represent my actual experience riding around the urban core this morning between 7:00 and 9:30 a.m. [...]

Easy Sooooo Easy

Here’s more from the ol’ helmet cam — downtown to MSU. I go downtown for coffee every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. This is my route to school. One difference: Walnut between Kimbrough and Hammons is being renovated, so it’s closed for a bit. I take Elm instead. You’ll notice two “close” passes. The speed [...]

Making a Good Thing Worse

Innovation is cool, except when you blacken up a green concept. Yes, it requires natural resources such as oil to produce bicycles. But when you go too high tech, you’re into the rare earth problem. Big problem. Technorati Tags: bicycle design, bicycle equipment, bicycle video, cycling

Please Be Careful

Please be careful what you ask for, that is. There’s a movement afoot at the Bicycle Friendly Springfield group on Facebook to have Springfield bicyclists send postcards to the mayor requesting more bicycle friendliness in Springfield. The post cards are available at local bicycle shops. Fill it out. Send it in. Be heard. Good idea! [...]
