August 31, 20112 Comments on Jambox promo video
The Jambox wireless speaker from Jawbone seems like the perfect accessory for Bike Party. The video (a parody of “It Was a Good Day” promoting the “JamChain”) shows a bike mount, though as far as I know it’s not available from Jawbone. Maybe sometbody knows different?
Love the line, “Forgot to lock up my bike; nobody jacked it.”
$200 from Jawbone, and the JamChain comes free with it.
August 31, 20119 Comments on Did a car horn kill Erica Abbott?
From the New York Daily News:
[29 year old Erica] Abbott suddenly lost her balance … after a car horn honked and she turned her head, witnesses said.
The cyclist, who was wearing a helmet, fell toward traffic and a 2002 Mercedes-Benz ran her over, police and witnesses said.
This is horrible. Please don’t honk your horn around cyclists. In every state, including New York, horn honking is legal only for safety reasons, not to express road raging inanities (yet another law scofflaw motorists can routinely break and get away with!). Condolences to Abbott’s loved ones.
