You know I love you when I order a pie for you from Bike Pasket Pies, hand you some Zero Per Gallon stickers and tees, or maybe even pitch a couple of Clean Bottle water bottles your way.
And in case you missed the hint, next Monday is Obligatory Love Gifts Day, so watch for a giveaway or two Twitter next week!

San Mateo County is working to redesign highway interchange where a cyclist fatality took place last November.

Here’s a fun new bike safety PSA from Bicycle Transportation Alliance aimed at the “tight pants intersection ballerina” 🙂
I’m not sure intersection ballerinas would be caught with anything besides Knog products.
But that reminds me: Planet Bike has a new 1 watt tail light they call the Superflash Turbo that should be available this Spring.

I’ve been riding with the NiteRider Cherry Bomb tail light this past winter. It’s basically NiteRider’s answer to PlanetBike’s super popular SuperFlash blinky, and has similar features: a 1/2 watt that flashes brightly along with a pair of quick flashing smaller LEDs.

This has been making the rounds. I think I saw it on Grist first.
You could buy it here for $30 if it wasn’t sold out.
What would a similar poster for other large cities look like? I can picture an edition for New York City, Chicago, Vancouver, Los Angeles, the DC area, maybe Dallas / Forth Worth.
