I’m very excited about the Ciclovia route this year. It goes down Meyer and to “restaurant row” in South Tucson. It’s a very good route with good pavement, no traffic, and lots of stuff to look at.

The bike ride is from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Start anywhere you like, go whichever direction you like, and have fun! The streets will be car-free and there will be events along the way.

There’s still time to sign up to volunteer, too — email Ann Chanecka at achanecka@pagnet.org.

I’ll be volunteering in the morning at Silverlake and 8th Avenue, so be sure to wave as you go by. See you there!

I’m completely addicted to Rick Smith’s on-line bike comic, Yehuda Moon. I think it is a very subtle and perceptive comic and the first thing I do when I sit down at my desk every morning is check out the day’s strip.

Because I believe in supporting these things, I pledge a very modest amount to him every few months or so. The guy’s gotta make a living, right?

Today I received a thank-you from him in the form of a hand drawn card and several pages of his sketches from recent strips! I’m so proud!

You can read the strip at www.yehudamoon.com.

P.S. I also got a signed copy of Bicycling and the Law direct from Bob Mionske over the holidays. Hah!
