talk about shooting yourself in the foot; albany has done us a lovely not a favor by losing out on 350 million dollars worth of transportation funds. consider that in light of this article here that talks about just how much ridership on MTA is increasing in light of the increased prices at the pump. but it's not all bad news, as May is BIKE MONTH! we've already had a great ride through brooklyn along the future Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway and i'm eagerly anticipating the Tour de Brooklyn on 25 may. this past weekend was a bit of fun as well, with the first annual LIC Bike Parade led by the Hungry March Band as well as the City Reliquary's Bicycle Fetish Day with five awards given out for the Best Crappiest Looking Bike, Best Homemade Bike, Most Family Friendly Bike, Best Track Bike, Best Vintage Bike. no pictures to show but i'm sure you can find some at the City Reliquary's web site. wish i had pictures of my bike to show, since i decorated it along with all the little kids that were attending the LIC bike parade with their parents. i had lovely gray tassels hanging off the ends of the handle bars and blue fridge hanging from the bar tape. maybe i'll get it together and get some pictures from this friday's bike to work day. i'll be volunteering at the 59th street bridge in the borough of queens handing out morning pastries and water to bicycle enthusiasts, and it will probably only be enthusiasts in light of the weather forecast. then again, there's plenty of construction on the Queensborough Bridge so i'm sure the workers will appreciate it. also, check out San Francisco's Bike to Work Day, my friend kati is one of the coordinators there for the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition...
