Paris' highly successful Véllib program is almost definitely coming to Chicago. Apparently the city gov't is working out offers from JCDecaux and Clearchannel. While I would rarely, if ever have to use it, the benefits to cycling in Chicago would be enormous if the program were successful (more bike lanes, more drivers accustomed to and aware of cyclists, less traffic and pollution, and so on).
Quoted: Launched in July, Paris' "Velib" bikes were part of the mayor's idea of making the city more ecologically friendly and reducing traffic. Just two months on, the bikes seem to be changing the way people get around the city.

Okay, my last fave is indeed a helpful little tool, but this, damn. If yr ever in Paris and need a bike shop, this is just about all you need. However, some shops specialize in vélos de ville or vélos électronique--in which case you might be SOL if you need a tube in a pinch. But still...fucking awesome...

Holy Shit. Not only is this the most helpful list of shit concerning bikes in paris ever, but this just might be the best tour-guide blog ever. Wanna know about the 5 best brews of coffee in paris period? The best couscous? The best crèpes? The Best dive bars? Well, they claim to know. I think i've got some--ahem--research to do...

click to playA twelve part feature on the history of the Tour de France. I saw a repeat of this on late night british television last week. It was done in 2003 for the 100 year 'anniversary' of the Tour. It's pretty sweet and it's filled with fun facts. Like, did you know that the first winner of the Tour won by car sharking his way to the finish?

Lauren and two friends had their bikes stolen fucking crazy-style. The story actually made it into the campus newspaper...\
also, k recommended that people add comments to the article in support of the university compensating in some way for the fals sense of security. as noted by one of el-train's friends, Kerrigan totally deferred responsibility when he stated that no one who currently works i the building was responsible. the question is, then, if the person who did install them did work for the u of o, but no longer, then it was as an agent of the u of o that they were responsible for the shitty ass installation. and since the u of o is responsible for its own grounds maintenance, then they should also own up to the fact that they've been fucking up by not maintaining their bike racks and securing them...

You must be SAWED-OFF SMILER BLOOD MAGNET's friend before you can comment on this Fave.hot damn
dude that thing is a robot i won't let it near me it'll change shape and cruss mah hed.
strangely enough, when i'm wearing it, it sort of has the look of an equestrian riding helmet...(which i kind of like)
ummm overpriced 80s replica? why?
i got mine for half the price here in a paris shop--this was just the first hit that came up on google. also, though you can't tell from the pic, i really like the adjustment features on this helmet. there is a strap in the back with two click-stop adjusters that allow you to easily adjust tightness, the alignment of the helmet on yr head, and the amount of space between your head and the styrofoam, which in turn adjusts airflow to yr skull. also the visor is pretty sweet.
also, what's the original 80s helmet yr referring to?
just 80s bmx/skater helmets.i have one somewhere. i never where it though, mainly cuz it doesn't sit on my head properly. and i have never been convinced that helmets are worth the hassle.
oh, well this is totally different than those old school protech helmets. it's got a lot more ventillation, a visor, and far more adjustibility. and the plastic shell around the styrofoam is lighter.
i never felt that unsafe riding in eugene, but i've heard enough stories and have had enough close calls in chicago to warrant the shift.
