Fall Colors and Grocery Shopping

I made a video of my trip to the grocery store on Saturday afternoon. The fall colors are spectacular. And shopping by bicycle is easy. Fall Colors and Food Shopping from acline on Vimeo. If you’re wondering why there are so few bicycles out on such a nice day, it may have to do with [...]

The Streets of NYC

Don’t turn the sound up too much. The beeped language will blow your ears out. What accounts for this? Are these simply two loathsome, offensive brutes who are unable to control themselves? What role does traffic play in this? Technorati Tags: bicycle crash, bicycle culture, bicycle video, crazy drivers

Numbers In The Street

Here’s an interesting video I found at Bicycling is Better. There’s discussion of bicycles at the start of the video and again around 6:30. One word of warning: This film was made in a less-than-enlightened age re: race. As Mighk notes, here’s a good example of bicycles mixing well with traffic without the help of [...]

Civilization Now

I love living in an under-developed country because I know it’s possible to go from this uncivilized state… Los Angeles Rush Hour At $4.70 gallon, regular from videorizing on Vimeo. …to this civilized state… Convenience from Amsterdamize on Vimeo. …once we finally come to our senses. It’s only a matter of time really. We’ll either [...]

Holiday Weekend Grab Bag

USA Today says more motorists will be on the road this weekend — a good thing according to the AAA because it “bodes well for the economy.” The story neglects to forecast how many people will die in automobile crashes as a result of the increased traffic. Moving on to other stuff, check out this [...]

More 4-way Follies

I decided to spend 30 minutes at the intersection of Cherry St. and Hammons Pkwy. on the MSU campus just to celebrate the beginning of school and test my new video camera. This is a 4-way stop. I recorded the action between 3:30 and 4:00, a time when most students are heading home or starting [...]

On My “To Do” List

Riding With the Dutch

I saw the following video at Amsterdamize; it’s a trailer for a proposed movie by Michael W. Bauch of everydaybike.com. I’m looking forward to seeing this for myself — perhaps as soon as summer 2010. Even though it is unlikely we’ll ever build superior bicycling infrastructure like the Dutch, we could enjoy something like what [...]

Funny (Serious) Business

Keri at Commute Orlando found another good one. Actually, it would be a good idea to do a serious video about how drivers encounter bicyclists on the road. We’re all drivers, too. And I can assure you that I’ve seen some behavior from bicyclists around town that has annoyed me — especially when they ride [...]

Door Zone Will Kill You

Keri posted this video at Commute Orlando. This is an excellent illustration of how far away from a parked car you need to ride to be safe. Now take a look at this picture of the bicycle lane on Boonville just north of the Square (from my earlier survey of Springfield’s painted lanes). As you [...]

Ride on the Mild Side

Oh, yes — I love 3-lane roads. The City of Springfield has been working on Grant Ave. recently (and Kimbrough) to turn its 4-lane urban core sections into 3-lane sections. I rode it from Grand to Commercial — a smooth, easy trip of a little more than two miles. This creates an excellent north-south corridor [...]

What Are Shared Lanes?

Here’s a police training video that demonstrates a proper understanding of a shared lane, i.e. a lane wide enough that cars can easily pass bicyclists without having to change lanes and without bicyclists having to ride in the gutter. So what happens when the lane is not wide enough to share? As this video properly [...]

Ride Like An Adult

This video is making the e-mail rounds in Springfield now with admonitions and self-confessions. It’s nearly 10 minutes of atrocious behavior by bicyclists at intersections in what appears to be suburban feeder locations in Maryland. (Video tip: If you’re going to use natural sound, fercrissakes don’t chew gum!) It’s difficult for me to watch that [...]

Fantasy and Reality

The fantasy (with a healthy dose of American mythology) is used to sell cars: The reality is used to sell motor oil (Quaker State World’s Worst Commute): Americans, however, are now driving fewer miles and traffic deaths have declined, although from the way we drive it seems clear to me that there is no number [...]
