Crystal Ruiz Mills Relief Fund
Some very sad news from Florida, which also puts THIS into very strange light, not the same city or anything but still this makes me wonder what's going on in the Sunshine State?
Anyhow, click HERE and help out if can.
"Crystal Ruiz-Mills, was struck by a motorist at this past weekends Broward County Critical Mass.
She is in the hospital with broken vertebrates and has already had surgery to replace the shattered L1 bone in her back. She is suffering through a lot of pain and discomfort. On top of all that. Crystal has a family. Two sons and a really cool husband, Andy. I have set up a donation through the PayPal link below. We can help them through these tough times. Like most of us, Crystal is not covered under any insurance plan. So anything will help.
Crystal has most likely brewed your espresso shots, or poured your morning coffee once or twice if you live in the Fort Lauderdale area. She works at Brew Urban Cafe in Victoria Park. She and her family ride their bikes everywhere because they don't have a car. She is local artist and photographer. She is an unselfish, caring woman with a giant heart.
Anything helps. Thank you"

Boris Johnson Fixed !!!

This is bit mad, like the Brits tend to say. But who the h*ll is this akward-looking suit-and-tie guy anyway, you may ask?
Well, he is Boris Johnson, currently the Mayor of London, England. So seeing him ride a rather tarck-style fixed gear bike is indeed pretty hilarious, but in a good way.
Thanks to Ben Broomfield for the photos. Cheers!

Criminal Mass Takes Over The Freeway

This news was so awesome that I just had to steal it, like this:
"Last Friday, Crimanimal Mass took their second bicycle ride on the freeway during drive-home rush hour. Whizzing by gridlocked cars, the demonstration, albeit illegal, raises questions. Good questions. One of the group's organizers, Morgan Strauss, 29, was quoted in the Santa Monica Daily Press (.pdf) this weekend saying that he “just wanted to raise questions about the transportation infrastructure. In a city ruled by cars, why is it that you can get places faster on bikes?”
Many photos were taken of the ride, which included nearly 30 bicyclists, but also three rollerbladers."
There's a nice gallery of photos, click here.
