Looking forward to seeing you in Australia soon. Now if only I can get my boss to pay for it…

Great to see you on the BIKE! Keep up the good work - just reposted your jaywalking article - as a math-major-turned-bikelawyer, the stats side of these arguments are always fascinating to me…

Have fun!

I just turned on Jeopardy and saw you there. I hope you had a good time! (I’m posting this before the local station finishes the game, so I don’t know how you did.)

Tom,

I can’t wait for your new book. The title sounds interesting.
I lent out ‘Traffic’ [Twice read including footnotes] to somebody who did not return it and I don’t remember their name. Please finish the book so I could have something interesting to read.

Walking:
Most of my errands are completed by foot:
Library, haircutter, dentist, groceries, beer&wine, post office, bank, bar, Home and Office Depot, Lowes, Radio Shack, Baynesville Electronics, opticians, drugstore, cardshop, bikeshop and a host of fast food places. Most places are a 40 to 70 minute round trip. If I am rushed for time I do a ‘time trial’ on the bike.

I live in and older subburb as a matter of choice.

I have had some interesting encounters with below-average motorists. Including the time I was yelled at while carrying 2- 1″x4″ 8′ pieces of lumber back from home depot. B.A.D thougth my lumber was hanging over the curb into the street. [It wasn't but if it was it would have been easily avoidable. And if his car hit the wood at 30mph I would have got the worst of it.]

Don’t get me started on crossing at a signalized intersection.

Have a happy new year.

George

You’re on Strava? Awesome. Do you ever get out across the George Washington Bridge to Route 9W for any riding?

Looking forward to hearing more about the new book.

Well, I, for one, would be disappointed to find you here very often. I would hope you have higher priorities than “blogging” which, of course you do.

If you’re biking in traffic I’d be interested in reading somewhere how you reconcile that with what you know about “drivers” and “driving”.

“Traffic” is an excellent read, and reference. I keep it handy and refer to it every week.

Tom,

I think you may enjoy http://industrializedcyclistnotes.com a micro-blog on energy, transportation (especially bikes) and kraken.

Watch out for those oblivious drivers.

Hope you’ll post links to the Slate series and other stuff as it becomes available–I don’t want to miss it!

I would definitely read a series of about a group of kraken living semi-clandestinely in suburbia. Young adult or not. You should consider it!
