There is an exhibition running through mid
November in Portland called, “Dreams on
Wheels: Danish Cycling Culture for Urban
Sustainability”. It’s about bikes.
Well, more than that…it portrays bicycle
perspective incorporated into a culture and
how that affects a lot more than just
bicycles, actually. Anyway, at the end of its
run in Portland, it is looking for a spot to
relocate and there is a person, Mia Hansen, who
thinks Tucson at that time of year with El Tour
going on and all would be ideal. I think so, too.
And if you agree, then you think so, too.
It would be great to give our bicycle visitors
as much bicycle stuff to experience as we can.
They might leave town thinking we are more of a
cycling community than we actually are.
Mia can be contacted at miajhansen@msn.com
and a note of support could go a long way
with this.
Eric, somebody parks an old Bridgestone city bike in the racks behind Optical Sciences at UA that you might like, it looks like a Japanese copy of a Dutch City tank complete with clumsily-lugged conduit frame, multi-speed hub, full chainguard, skirtguard, and generator lights; but all the stickers are in Japanese. Funniest feature is that the forkstay mounted headlight is right in the middle of where the right handlebar basket brace should go, so they factory-custom bent the brace on that side in a neat semi-circle around the light, continuing in a straight line once past that obstruction – wrecking the basket’s potential load capacity as a result.
