For all you pickers out there, I spied this old tractor for sale in a field while I was out for a bike ride yesterday.
I've seen this old agricultural beast sitting out here for several years, but never noticed the “For Sale” sign posted on the barbed wire fence. I always thought it was some type of yard art.
I understand this low-mileage cream-puff was used by a little old lady who only drove it on Sundays. The factory-paint was John Deere green, but that was later customized ….

The Virginia Bicycling Federation reports that two 3-foot passing bills were killed in the House of Delegates Subcommittee on Transportation on Wednesday morning.
The bills would have extended the distance by which motorists must pass bicyclists from the current two feet to three feet.
Meanwhile, Rhode Island Rep. Joseph M. McNamara introduced a bill (H 5096) that requires motorists to pass bicycles or other human-powered vehicles by 3 feet or more, according to the Rhode Island Bicycle Coalition ….

A 90-mile section of the Mother Road, Route 66, in Oklahoma would be designated a “Historic Bike Trail” under a bill submitted by a state legislator.
It's the latest move to transform the historic 2,400-mile highway from Chicago to Los Angeles into a long-distance bicycle route.
Adventure Cycling Association announced in November that it had chosen the corridor of the iconic American highway as its next bicycle route, complete with detailed road maps and descriptions of roadside services ….

Two more cities — Boulder, Colorado, and Madison, Wisconsin — are jumping on the bike-sharing bandwagon.
Following a year in which Denver, Minneapolis and Washington DC all launched major bike-share programs, the new announcements show that more cities are supporting programs that enable members to borrow bicycles for short errands.
Boulder is aiming for a May 20 launch date, starting with 200 bicycles available at 25 stations scattered around the town.
Madison's program — proposing 350 bicycles at 35 kiosk stations — is not so far along ….

A 3-foot passing bill has been tabled in the Washington state legislature while a vote on one in Virginia is expected this week. Meanwhile, a bill in Oklahoma would impose fines for the existing 3-foot passing law there.
The Washington bill to require motorists to give bicyclists a 3-foot gap when passing (expanded to 5 feet at 35 mph or above) has been tabled at the request of the Bicycle Alliance of Washington because of other controversial aspects of the legislation.
The passing provision was included in HB 1018, entitled the Mutual Responsibilities bill, which was an attempt to define what is required for motor vehicles and bicycles to safely share the road …

Lance Armstrong has the Livestrong Challenge, Levi Leipheimer has the King Ridge Gran Fondo in Santa Rosa, and now Chris Horner is rolling out the Cascade Gran Fondo bicycle ride near his hometown of Bend, Oregon.
The 39-year-old RadioShack cyclist is known as much for his humor as his pro cycling career that stretches back to 1996.
