A few weeks ago I wrote that Seattle's contingent of World Naked Bike Ride was struggling to find a date for the ride because so many naked/painted-body bike rides were scheduled around the same time.
While many cities chose Saturday for the demonstration, Seattle riders must have been relieved the ride was rescheduled here, what with a constant drizzle and temperatures hovering in the low 50s.
Seattle's official date for its World Naked Bike Ride is July 14, with a corresponding night ride on June 30, Critical Mass. …

A bicyclist tells an incredible story of police brutality after being stopped for riding his folding bicycle away from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport after a flight in September.
Stephan Orsak, writing at his Greencycle website, said he was “rudely accosted, assaulted with battery,” and tasered. He says he was complying with all the laws of the airport and Minnesota rules of the road at the time of the incident.
After he was hospitalized for observation, the 135-pound violinist was thrown in jail for 8 hours and eventually charged with six counts of obstructing officers, failure to comply, etc.; the usual charges you'll see in cases like this. …

If you ever travel to the San Juan Islands in the Puget Sound to ride your bicycle, you'll undoubtedly hear that Lopez Island is the flattest of the bunch.
I'm here to tell you that, at least for bicyclists, it ain't necessarily so.
My son and I recently took a 30-mile loop around Lopez Island as part of a two-day benefit bike ride. At the end of the previous day's 30 miles around San Juan Island, quite a few people said the Lopez Island trip would be much flatter. …

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commisson, the crankset could break. Cannondale says there have been two reports of breaking cranksets and one minor injury. (The CPSC issued its press release on Wednesday. Cannondale issued its own notice in April, therefore the problem may have been resolved for most customers by now.) ….
