I was searching for bike rap on YouTube and this came up

Looking for a bike-based paramedic / EMT to use the Lifebike

Before turning our focus to bike culture and bike safety, we developed a system called the Lifebike for bicycle-based paramedics and EMTs to use at large crowded events such as July 4th, parades, sports events, etc.

A reminder from Flickr's RayTracing that cleaning your bike regularly helps you catch mechanical issues before they become serious. For example, just running a rag over your bike, you'll feel bolts that need tightening, and notice a stiff link in your chain.

Bike culture in LA is clashing with Car culture...

On July 4th, in an annual ride which attracts hundreds of cyclists in Los Angeles, two cyclists - excellent road racers I'm told - were apparent victims of road rage. The driver in the car was an ER doctor, who according to witnesses, yelled at the cyclists then cut them off, and then slammed on the brakes in front of them.

The road where the cyclists were hit has become quite attractive to cyclists in recent years. Needless to say, these are dangerous times in LA, as car culture meets bike culture. see the story on the attached links....

Happy 4th of July!

All we need now is for rock the bike to come out with bright white DLG and we would have been very patriotic ;)

One More Car

This pedal powered car didn't go over well with Toronto Police, but the four perps handled the situation gracefully.

Feeling of comfort and coolness

As I rolled thru the busy park at night. I had my DLG green envy on. The "Oh look at that light", "Cool Light" and where did you get that light?
