What I love about this photo is that where you used to have a car rental, now there is a Divvy bike share rack just steps away. Active transit FTW!

Matt Willens, a Chicago personal injury lawyer, likes the idea of ghost bikes but doesn’t like what happens to them over time.
I like this idea. I think ghost bikes are a great symbol, but after a short period of time they basically become a nuisance. Maybe a combination of the two would work: a ghost bike rack as a permanent fixture and a ghost bike for a period of time immediately after to serve as a memorial, but would eventually be removed and used elsewhere.
A short poem about traffic
and then there’s this asshole.
When I See A Cyclist Riding in the Parking Lane
and then they dart out into the shared/bike lane whenever there's an obstacle.
This is dumb for so many reasons. First, drivers using the road lane are less likely to see you when you pop back into the bike/shared lane. Second, drivers parked in the parking lane who are exiting their vehicles are less likely to see you, as they will check their side mirrors, not their rear view mirrors, for cyclists. Please, TAKE THE LANE! It's there for you.
When I Saw A Girl on a Dutch Bike Ride Out Into an 4-Way-Stop Intersection From The Sidewalk And Nearly Get Smoked By An SUV
C'mon, you dummy. Cars don't see you if you come from the sidewalk, and you have to stop anyway.

If I ever decide to have kids, I have a great list to choose names from.
my favorite!
So completely unrelated to cycling, but a fantastic MST3K refrerence. I suppose you could use this list as an inspiration for what names to call those jerks who cut you off on the road.
Okay so I just went to your first page and saw that its in Chicago.
Yes! I'm in Chicago. My commute when I started this blog was 7 miles, each way. It's now shortened to 4 each way.

This Video from John Kass
He calls us "Little Bike People." Really.
I hope he just goes away. It's not even rage-inducing any more.

When I Realize I Don't Remember Riding Home From A Party
That first 20 minutes after waking up with a righteous hangover when you realize that your bike is parked at home, but you don't remember riding it is pure Hell. At least you're home safely, but what a dumb thing to do.
My Face When I Arrive at a Sprawling Strip Mall and There Are ZERO Bike Racks
Insane Driver who obviously doesn’t like people on bikes (by dfriel1)
Wow. That is one angry driver.
So glad they video’ed this insane driver. Considering he/she could have passed them whenever he/she wanted, this is nothing short of harassment at the least. I salute the riders for their patience. I think I may have let my U-lock slip from my hand into their windshield. Seriously. This was nuts!
My reaction to watching this video:
Seriously, this makes zero sense.
