John, I’m a long-time lurker at Balloons Juice, and you are in no way shape or fashion a loser. You run an on-line community that means a lot to its members And makes their lives better. That’s no small accomplishment. You have your quirks, but so what? Who doesn’t?

Giving Jane the final word here. She got it!

Thanks very much for posting!

In the US, how many of these measures to discourage car use are available to cities? Where does the answer point bike advocates’ efforts? Seems like a lot of advocacy is local, but the focus should be on the state and federal levels. Not that that makes getting results any easier!

I’m excited to try this out. I follow a pretty wide variety of people & topics. It’s great, but it’s also a huge time suck, as well as an invitation to addiction. This looks like it might be a great tool for helping me manage the flood. Here’s hoping!

Please join us in asking Congress to take action. Ask your senators to protect these critical investments and stand up for the projects that their constituents asked for: www.votervoice.net/iframes/Bike...

I know that road, and it's totally crazy to ride a bike in the sharrow and think you're safe. (A few people do, but they are way bigger risk-takers than me.) Cars move *fast* on it.

Who says they fade? 😉
