Bicycling against oil war insanity
Today, President George W. Bush appears set to announce the insane escalation of the failed oil war in Iraq. It might be useful to recall that bike commuting--in addition to being fun, healthy, efficient, money saving, and eco-friendly--can, for some of us at least, also be a political statement. Imagine how many bike lanes, bike paths, bicycling education programs, bike stations, or multimodal transit improvements that might have been created with the money spent on the killing in Iraq.
I've had this "Bicycling Against Oil Wars" license plate on my commuting bike for almost four years. I obtained this sign from my friend Chris Carlsson, who created it with a group of his friends in San Francisco. Carlsson is notable as one of the founders of Critical Mass, as well as an historian and theorist of the mass bicycling event.
This "surge" will only prolong the killing. Let's stop the insanity.

The headline in the Chronicle was so misleading. Bush too admit mistakes -- which sounds good on the surface, but then we read this his
mistake was to not commit more ground troops *sigh*.
Hey, where can i get one sticker like that one?
