I've seen a couple of odd designs for folding bicycles lately at Bicycle Design, left, and Cyclelicious, right, leading me to wonder who would buy and ride one of these bikes.
Then I saw this item that the Santa Cruz transportation system is offering up to $250 rebates to commuters using folding bikes.
Now there's transit system with its head screwed on straight — using folding bikes as part of an integrated approach to increasing bus ridership and decreasing traffic and air pollution. …

The Group Health Seattle International Bicycle Expo returns to Magnuson Park this Saturday and Sunday with some 150 exhibitors and more good speakers than I can remember in recent years.

Who's showing up this year? Speakers at the main stage this year incude former pro cyclist and OLN commentator Frankie Andreu, bicycle touring authors Willie Weir and Joe (Metal Cowboy) Kurmaskie, and the Bob Mionske, the lawyer who writes Legally Speaking at VeloNews. …

One day soon, bicyclists in Livonia will be able to ride on the public streets, even though sidewalks and bike paths might be nearby.
Apparently the Michigan city, located just east of Detroit, has had a law on the books since the early 1980s that made it a misdemeanor to ride a bike on the roadway if there were trails or sidewalks adjacent.
Bicycling advocates in Michigan decided it's long past time to get rid of that bad law and bring the city up-to-date. …

Pan-American bicycle tourist Dominic Gill could put a classified ad in newspapers throughout the Americas:
Wanted: Tandem pilot seeks stoker. Full or part-time. Must be willing to travel.
Gill is an Englishman in the midst of a 20,000-mile journey from Alaska to the tip of South America on a tandem. Cycling the length of North and South America in search of company, Gill says, “What better way to get to know the locals than offering them a seat on your bike.” …

It took a New Jersey jury about 15 minutes to decide that an 11-year-old girl on rollerblades was not at fault for causing a doctor to crash his bicycle.
You may have heard of the ridiculous lawsuit filed by Dr. Alexander Dlugi, who sued his neighbor because she turned into his path after he rang his bicycle bell and yelled “Watch Out” as he cycled past.
Dlugi, who suffered a broken collarbone, claimed his practice lost money because of his injuries and he sued. His attorney said: “It may seem like an odd thing. But people are responsible for their actions.”
That may be the case, but the seven-person jury didn't agree that the girl — now 15 — was responsible for the accident. …
