Yesterday we did our part to get local bikers hopped up on the good stuff, cupcakes and energy drinks that is. We risked life and limb (and heat exhaustion) to hang out at the corner of Fell and Masonic, but we were clever enough to choose a nice shady tree to prop ourselves under.
While accosting riders with said sugary treats and Bike to Work bags (courtesy of the Bicycle Coalition) we actually got some of them to stop. Hopefully their signatures will lead to much needed bike lanes on Masonic, where there's apparently no singal to prevent cars from turning off Fell right into the crosswalk full of bikes, peds, dogs, joggers and the like. It's treacherous, man.
It was a great deed we did, if you ask me - stopping sweaty half clad cyclists and offering them a moment of bliss. Yea, it was good for us too!
