Bike To Work Day Energizer Stations 2015 – Recap and Pics
Earlier last month was the Bike League's National Bike To Work Day. For the fourth year, Bike Friendly Richardson, worked with BikeDFW and DART to set up a bike commuter Energizer Station at DART's Arapaho rail station in Richardson.
Because interest in these stations continues to grow, BikeDFW and DART were able to set up another 9 stations throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area, including Plano, Garland, Irving, Addison, Carrollton, Oak Cliff, and two locations in Downtown Dallas. Unfortunately, May was a really wet month, with record rainfall in our area. Bike To Work Day, was no exception. Reports came back that those stations had less success greeting bicycle commuters than previous years.
The Richardson station was still pretty successful. We had a dozen bike commuters stop by our Energizer Station, where we provided them with snacks and breakfast tacos. We also handed out lots of swag donated by DART and NCTCOG as well as energy bars provided KIND. Richardson Bike Mart was out to do bicycle safety checks.
Although it was a lighter turnout than we had hoped, it's still apparent that folks around the Dallas area are starting to look at bicycle commuting as an viable form of alternate transportation – which most feel is hard to do in a city built for cars. Because of this, we will continue to host these stations on Bike To Work Day – rain or shine.
Here are a few pics from the Richardson event:

Based on our great success in Richardson 3 years ago, which grew to 5 stations around Dallas 2 years ago, and up to 9 stations last year, BikeDFW, DART and local bike groups, like Bike Friendly Richardson, have partnered up to host another 9 Bike Commuter Energizer Stations around the Dallas/Fort Worth area – including the original stop at Arapaho Station.

This indicates to me that folks around the Dallas area are starting to look at bicycle commuting as an viable form of alternate transportation – which most feel is hard to do in a city built for cars.
The Richardson station was quite successful. We had 25 bike commuters stop by our Energizer Station, where we provided them with snacks and breakfast tacos. We also handed out lots of swag donated by DART and NCTCOG as well as energy bars provided by Clif Bar and KIND. Richardson Bike Mart was out to do bicycle safety checks.
We even had a news camera man from Channel 11 stop by and interview us, but we never made the news cast that day. Fortunately, other stops in Dallas got some coverage:
– The local Fox News station
– KERA, our local public radio station.

Pics and Recap From National Bike To Work Day – Bike Commuter Energizer Stations
Last Friday was National Bike To Work Day. Based on last years success in Richardson, BikeDFW and Dallas Area Rapid Transit hosted 5 Bike Commuter Energizer Station in the Dallas area: Plano, Garland, Richardson, Downtown Dallas, and Oak Cliff. Joined by local cities of Plano, Garland and Dallas along with local bike groups, Bike Friendly Richardson, Bike Friendly Garland and Bike Friendly Oak Cliff, we were able to provide these support stations around town.
Dozens of bike commuters and hundreds of other transit commuters visited these stations that morning. Cyclists were able to eat some breakfast, grab some snacks and drink some coffee and water before heading into work. Local bike shops performed bicycle safety checks, while DART and local cities provided commuter information and swag.
This was a great success for DFW bike commuters and and cycling community. With the help of more sponsors and local volunteers,we hope to expand it to even more stations next year.

Recap – Cyclists In Suits – Texas Bicycle Lobby Day 2013
When I first heard about the BikeTexas event, Cyclists In Suits, my first thought was (like perhaps a Tweed Ride) this is a bike ride where folks dressed up and rode around the capital. I would soon discover that this was not a dapper critical mass, nor did it even involve getting on my bike. Cyclists In Suits was not an event to show state legislature that we can gather for a ride, but rather, we can gather and have a productive discussion about bicycle policy in Texas.
Cyclists In Suits is a biennial event held during the Texas Legislature's regular sessions. It is great opportunity for Texas cyclists to share their love of cycling with their state legislators. The goal is to have cyclists from every legislative district in Texas visit the capitol with our staff and remind the legislature that we are voters and we want them to represent our cycling interests.
The next thing that ran through my head was, I'm not a lobbyist, nor am I a very political person. Why would I want to participate in this event? The answer is, I LOVE CYCLING, and I will do everything I can to make it better in Texas. The least I could do was add myself to the head count and show the Texas legislature that there are many constituents who care about cycling.
Our local advocacy group, BikeDFW, hosted a bus ride to Austin that day – which I joined. The trip involved departing from DFW at 5:00 am, arriving in Austin to participate in lobby activities, network with like-minded advocates from all over the state, then return that evening. It was a really long day.
Although the group on the bus was very diverse, ranging in gender, race and cycling style, I was hoping to have a better balance of the different bike cultures. Perhaps, as cycling becomes more popular among the non-sports crowd, we'll see more of that. Regardless of the balance of cyclist types, this group was fantastic. There's something to be said about shedding the lycra, cleats, helmets and skinny jeans and seeing bicyclists unite for a common cause. On the bus, we weren't 'racers', 'roadies', 'commuters', 'critical mass-ers', 'fashionistas' 'VCs' or 'weekend riders'. We were, simply, cyclists.
When we got to Austin, we were greeted by the BikeTexas folks. They escorted us to the capital building and into a room they had reserved for the bicycle lobbyist. We were each given a couple of bags of bicycle lapel pins to hand out to anybody wanting to show support. We then got a quick tutorial on who we would be talking to and the best way to communicate to them. We also learned about the bills they were currently trying to push through, HB 2225 – Safe Passing (SB1515 – Safe Passing) and HB 1102 – Complete Streets (SB 565 – Complete Streets). There were more bills for cyclists, but the goal was to remain focused on these two for better impact with legislators – who meet with many different types of lobbyists, daily.
After the briefing, we were split into smaller groups and given folders containing all the information about these bills. We were to go to our selected offices, introduce ourselves as constituents and pass on the folder that represented their district. The expectation was set that we most likely wouldn't meet with the actual Senator or Representative, but rather their staff. That was the case for all of my group's visits, and most of the staff that we encountered were very receptive and happy to meet with us.
After our lunch break, the whole group met at the Senate Gallery for a Reading of Special Resolution. When that was finished, we were asked to take a moment, visit the Senator and Representative from our own districts and sign their visitor log books. For my part of Richardson, this was Representative Angie Chen Button and Senator Ken Paxton. You can click here to find yours.
Once we were finished lobbying, we all gathered on the steps of the capital building for a group picture, where we were joined by Texas Senator Rodney Ellis. It was nice to see such a large group representing Texas cyclists, but I wouldn't mind seeing it get larger.
Later that afternoon, we walked over to the BikeTexas headquarters for a group happy hour. Here we were able to meet and discuss the events of the day as well as the things we learned. It was nice to network with other cycling advocates from around the state.
We finished out the trip with the long bus ride back to Dallas. On the bus, I was able to reflect on what I learned that day. Here are a few:
– Cyclists in Suits is not a bike ride.
– Lobbying isn't just for the politically minded. It's for anybody who cares about a cause.
– Cycling policy affects all bicycle cultures. If you care, you should try to get involved.
– Texas Legislators are there to listen to their constituents. Talk to them.
– It costs a lot of money to hold these events and sponsor bus rides. If you like what is being done, you should join or support BikeDFW and BikeTexas.
Join BikeDFW and Head To Austin For Cyclists In Suits
From the BikeDFW blog:
Every two years in Texas, we get a unique opportunity to talk about cycling with people who can make a difference.
Save the date, take the day off and take a road trip with a bunch of friends to Austin to participate in your democracy. You'll meet the people that represent you and, most importantly, let them know that you think more effort to accommodate bicycling is important for the future of your community and your state.
It cannot be stressed enough that numbers matter; we need representation from every congressional district in North Texas.
Don't worry about jumping off the bus and not knowing what to do. Bike Texas will provide a thorough briefing on hot topics as well as tips and techniques for meeting and communicating with your legislators. They will also organize groups according to their legislative districts. It's also OK if you just want to be a smiling face with a bicycling pin! Your interest and presence speaks volumes to your representatives.
BikeDFW has made arrangements for one-day, round-trip chartered bus trips from both Dallas and Fort Worth to Austin to participate in Cyclists in Suits for the very reasonable cost of $30 per person. The buses are luxury coaches and we will serve breakfast and coffee on board.
Dress: The name says it all, formal office attire makes the best impression and helps to break down the lycra stereotype, allowing for more effective communication. You can wear more casual clothes on the bus and change upon arrival, that is up to you.

Fort Worth area departure location: Trinity Bicycles (343 Throckmorton, Fort Worth)

Pics From Bike Friendly Oak Cliff's Cyclesomatic Bike Fair & Spooky Cyclocross 2012
Yesterday, Bike Friendly Richardson, was invited to have a table at the Cyclesomatic Bike Fair – hosted by Bike Friendly Oak Cliff. It started off a bit chilly, but it ended up being a great day.
Along with many booths and a huge crowd, there was a cyclocross race. I'd never seen one in person, so it was pretty exciting to watch.
There was also a bike powered smoothie station hosted by BikeDFW as well as representatives from Metroplex BMX, Pedal Power, Bicycles, Inc and ReGeared. Good Karma Kitchen was there with some tasty food and the youngsters in the crowd were entertained by a bounce house and fantastic face painting. If that wasn't enough, there was a BMX Stunt show.
Here are some pics of the event. Click here to see the entire set.

Room was comfortable with easy access from the interstate. Our king bed was in good shape, not broken down as most beds are on the first floor.
We came in late Saturday night and had nowhere to park due to a crew of construction workers drinking beer in the parking lot. Our bathroom had hair scattered throughout and the air conditioner was so loud we had to sacrifice comfort to be able to sleep.
Friendly staff. Nice hot breakfast. Complimentary cookies were also fresh and tasty. Clean lobby and nice breakfast seating area.
Air conditioning unit was coming off the wall, it was detached. This was room #220, we contacted the front desk and we were given the option for another room but we had already unpacked and felt it wasn't a huge deal, we were more concerned with letting someone know we didnt cause the damage. TV was hard to get to come on and after midnight we were only able to get channels 3 through 13, but again it wasn't a huge deal just a little frustrating. And lastly we had a view of Steak n Shake's drive thru so we had to keep the curtains drawn the entire time. Hard bed and flat pillows. However it was clean. Just felt we were given the Internet special for the price.
Clean, quiet, comfortable; the staff was exceptionally good; small but well-kept indoor pool; free breakfast with lots of choices. Overall great experience at a good rate.

Israel blocks Gaza gas field development
- Uploaded by grimghost on Jul 19, 2013
- Views: 23
Thirteen years ago British Gas drilled the Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2 wells, thirty kilometers off the coast of Gaza. The drilling led to the discovery of a massive natural gas field: with 1.4 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves. In 2011 Tel-Aviv authorized the U.S-based Noble Energy, a crude oil and gas exploration giant, to begin developing the field. But the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) says the offshore field belongs to the Palestinians. Because of the Israeli blockade, Palestinians don't have enough cooking gas in the coastal enclave. They aren't allowed to develop or tap into their own gas fields either. International law forbids occupying entities from using transferring or selling the natural resources of any occupied land. A report by the U.N Economic and Social Council, also says Israel not only prevented Palestinians from accessing and utilizing their natural resources, but also depleted and endangered them. Experts say Israel will continue to tap into Gaza's natural gas reserves to meet its needs after supplies from Egypt were interrupted amid the unrest in the Sinai Peninsula. Experts say that Tel-Aviv's monopoly on Gaza's energy and natural resources violates international laws and norms. http://www.presstv.ir/

IPL: AB de Villiers guides RCB to victory
Posted on May 05 2014 | IBNS
Bangalore, May 4 : AB de Villiers' gutsy unbeaten 89, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets here on Sunday.
Chasing Hyderabad's 155 for six, Virat Kohli's men reached 158 by losing six with a ball to spare.
AB de Villiers 41-ball knock was in a way a single-handed show which helped the side reach the target at the end.
He hit six boundaries and eight huge sixes in his knock.
Chris Gayle gave a good start to the run chase to RCB but before he could capitalise on the start he got out for 27.
Hyderabad's Karn Sharma shined with the ball and picked up Gayle early.
He took three wickets by giving away 17 runs in his four overs.
Earlier, riding on Australian batsman David Warner's 61, Hyderabad reached 155 for six in 20 overs.
Mitchell Starc and Varun Aaron picked up two wickets for RCB.
Brief scorecard:
Sunrisers Hyderabad: 155 for six in 20 overs (D Warner 61; M Starc 2/21, V Aaron 2/33)
RCB: 158 for six in 19.5 overs (AB de Villiers 89; Karn Sharma 3/17)

Week 10 prediction roundup
Jason Whitlock has a point when he calls Brady vs. Manning "inorganic, a ratings-producing TV creation."
"It's not Bird vs. Magic or Chamberlain vs. Russell. Football, with all its variables � three platoons, offense, defense and special teams � does not lend itself to individual rivalries, particularly of men who never take the field at the same time," he writes.
That's true. But for better of worse, we're a society of this or thats, debates, and Top Tens, where there always has to be an ultimate in every field. We're never content just to have a handful of greats. There always has to be a top dog.
Still, it's fair to note that the one season Peyton Manning got past Tom Brady and the Patriots en route to the Super Bowl, Reche Caldwell was Brady's top receiver.
Of course, Brady has the rings, but Manning has the numbers, which Brady also has.
Both have lost their last playoff start; Manning in last year's wild card playoff against San Diego, Brady in the�you know.
Brady hasn't won a Super Bowl in almost five years. Manning hasn't won one in almost three.
Manning has the second-highest passing rating (95.3) in NFL history, but he's first among dome quarterbacks. Brady happens to be fourth on the list, 1.9 points behind Manning, but of course he gets to play in cold, windy, snowy New England. He also had Reche Caldwell one season.
Imagine that the two quarterbacks played for opposite teams, and dream what the results might be. Does Manning lead the Patriots down the field in the final moments of Super Bowl XXXVI? Does Brady look lost in the Foxborough snow for the Colts in the AFC title game? You also have to consider the monumental factor that Bill Belichick has had on Brady's career. Is Brady the Brady we know with Tony Dungy as his head coach? Is he even drafted?
It's a useless debate, sort of like dedicating a TV show to imagining Grady left Pedro in the game. Now that was "inorganic, a ratings-producing TV creation."
Sunday night is just a damned good football game with the two best quarterbacks of the decade, and it just so happens to be on TV. Nothing inert about that.
Who they're picking
Our roundup of picks for this week's Patriots-Colts game:
Mike Chappell, Indianapolis Star: Colts 30, Patriots 27. "Look for Bill Belichick to take away one of Manning's prime options -- that would be tight end Dallas Clark -- and make him look elsewhere. And look for the Colts defense to make just enough plays and get just enough pressure on Tom Brady." Phil Richards, Indianapolis Star: Colts 27, Patriots 24. "The Patriots have protected well, but Colts ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis will be the best pass rushers on the field and the difference makers. Sure, the Colts secondary is ravaged by injury. At this point a year ago, they were starting Keiwan Ratliff and Tim Jennings at cornerback and using safety Melvin Bullitt as their nickel. Don't sell short the Colts' resourcefulness." Phillip B. Wilson, Indianapolis Star: Colts 27, Patriots 24. "The Patriots line is banged up. The Colts are statistically better at rushing the passer. If the Colts get to Brady more, they win, or vice versa if the Patriots rattle Manning more. Beyond that, it's so close to call. When in doubt, go with the home team." Bob Kravitz, Indianapolis Star: Patriots 28, Colts 24. "If the Colts were a little bit healthier and deeper in their secondary, they'd be my pick. But I saw storm clouds gathering in those final 21/2 quarters against Houston. For Indy to win, they'd better turn every red zone trip into a touchdown. Just sayin'."
- Greg Cote, Miami Herald: Colts 38, Patriots 34. "All other Game of Week contenders curtsy in we're-not-worthy genuflecting as unbeaten Peyton Manning and way-hot Tom Brady prepare to duel in prime-time in a likely AFC Championship Game preview. Bonus: These are decade's two most winning franchises (Colts 109 W's, Pats 108). Think English might actually be a slightly better team at moment, but Colts know how to beat them (4-1 series run since 2005). That and venue (Horseshoes have won 10 straight home games) shape the pick, although it's a nervous one. Brady coming out smiling would not surprise the littlest bit. I'd have said Belichick, but even winning can't crowbar a smile outta THAT guy."
- ESPN.com staff: Split down the middle.
- Globe Staff picks: Patriots across the board.
- Peter King, Sports Illustrated: Patriots 30, Colts 26. "This game will be everything NBC's Dick Ebersol could have hoped -- a showdown between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning with both running games stinking it up, Peyton with the ball in his hands inside the two-minute warning with a chance to win it ??? and ??? and ??? well, I can't spoil all the suspense now, can I? But let's just say I think Brandon Meriweather is going to make a play that'll have Andrea Kremer interviewing him alongside Brady after the game."
- Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: Colts 35, Patriots 30. "The game of the week features the two best quarterbacks in football: Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady. Does it get any better? Those two will play well, so the deciding factor is which defense makes the big plays. At home, I look for the banged-up Indy defense to do it. Colts win."
- CBS Sports staff: Two out of six pick the Patriots vs. the 2.5-point spread.
- Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: Patriots 23, Colts 20. "Defensively, the Patriots should focus on taking away tight end Dallas Clark with two inside linebackers and two safeties. Manning loves to throw to Clark in key situations, especially to move the chains. Once they watch the middle of the field, they need to give wideout Reggie Wayne some tough, physical coverage on the outside."
- Peter Schrager, FoxSports.com: Colts 31, Patriots 30. "Thought the Brett Favre media hype was a bit much two weeks ago? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Here comes everybody's favorite mid-November matchup and it shouldn't disappoint. The Colts have won a franchise-record 17 consecutive regular-season games and can tie the 2003-04 Patriots (18) for the second-longest such streak in NFL history. I think they do the job. Look for this one to come down to the final possession and for Mr. Manning to get the best of Brady and Belichick with 0:01 on the clock. Giddy up."
- USA Today staff: Seven out of eight go with the Patriots.
- Pete O�Brien, USA Today: Patriots 24, Colts 21. "Credit the Colts for plugging numerous holes this season, but the dam's got to break sometime. The Patriots are the Upset Special."
- Sam Farmer, Los Angeles Times: Patriots 17, Colts 14. "If the Colts have a vulnerability, it's their rookie corners. With a healthy Wes Welker in the slot and Randy Moss to stretch the field, Tom Brady should take advantage."
- Yahoo! sports staff: Patriots across the board.
- Our pick: Patriots 29, Colts 27. Colts kicker Matt Stover misses a 48-yard field goal in the game's waning seconds. Injured Adam Vinatieri looks on from the sideline and sighs.

Ashwini Ponappa, the badminton ace is one among the five shuttlers carrying India's medal hopes at the Olympics, this year. We find out her success mantra and fitness regime.
Comfort-wise, is it better to play in front of a home crowd or in the international arena?
Playing in front of the home the crowd is always special. The crowd really pushes you up when you are struggling. I come from the Southern India, but I love playing in Delhi. The courts there are the best in the country and a sizeable crowd turns up to watch the game.
How do you prepare yourself mentally before a big game?
Preparation is same for all the matches. I make sure I do my warm-up exercises and stretching properly. When I am tense before a match, I put my I Pod on.
London Olympics - what are the expectations you have set for yourself?
It is going to be my first Olympics and the aim is to win a medal. My doubles partner Jwala Gutta and I have a realistic chance of a podium finish. The draw is going to be easier than what we get on the professional circuit as there is a limit to the players who can participate from a country. Though our recent results have not been great, we are working very hard and spending more time on the court to give ourselves a good chance in London.
How do you keep yourself fit for your sport?
I have a pretty simple routine. I spend three hours in the gym daily and eat healthy. I come from Coorg where you tend to eat a lot of fried non-vegetarian stuff, but I mostly stay away from it. Whenever I get time off badminton, I tell my mom to make my favourite curd rice.
India is a cricket country; do you think your sport is underrated?
Well, unfortunately no sport in our country can be compared to cricket. Players like Saina Nehwal and Pullela Gopichand have helped our sport's popularity but there is still a long way to go. The survival is even harder for doubles players like me. Singles players get more money and attention in India. There is nothing wrong with that but a lot of parents still don't want their kids to take up doubles. Jwala and I won the bronze at World Championships last year but not many people are aware of it. However, we did great reception after winning the gold in the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Tell us about a memory that is etched in your mind that proves to you that you cannot do without mom.
Normally a daughter is more attached to her father, but it is opposite in my case. I am what I am because of my mom's unconditional support. I can't imagine a time when I can do without her. All those times when I was low and upset, she was there.
What is the message you would like to give your mom?
She will be in London to see me playing so I have not really thought what I would say to her before leaving. In fact, my father and younger brother would also be there.
How has mom been an influence in your life, professionally and personally?
As I have said earlier, my mom has been the biggest influence in my life. Ever since I was a child, she has been there for me. From waiting for my practice to get over at the youth centre in Bangalore to juggling her work hours to ensure my playing routine is not affected. Even after I moved to Hyderabad to train further, she has ensured that I don't feel home sick. She has truly been an inspiration.

1984 Audi Sport Quattro
Above Images ©IMAGE CREDITS - Audi AG

Audi's Quattro became a huge part of world rally history when it introduced four-wheel-drive as a competent and necessary element of World Rally cars. The S1 was one of the most extreme of these and this Sport Quattro was the homologated road-going version of it. These cars became the holy grail for Audi enthusiasts and only around 200 were made to satisfy requirements.
The Sport Quattro benefited from the Quattros that contested the Group B category of rally racing from 1982 to 1984. With upcoming four wheel drive threats from Peugeot and Ford, the Sport was created to keep Audi at the top of their game.
One major difference between the Sport Quattro and the regular production version was a wheelbase reduction of 12.4 inches (320 mm) to just 86.8 inches (2204 mm). With a huge chunk missing from the middle of the car, the profile almost resembled a hatch back, but this smaller size greatly improved handling and reduced weight.
Furthermore, the Quattro was full of technologies such as ABS, four-wheel drive and self-locking differentials which were way ahead of their time in 1984.
Most of the Quattro Sport's outward changes were the work of Audi stylist Peter Birtwhistle. His design included larger grills and additional intakes on the hood and bumper to help increase air flow to the radiator and oil cooler mounted behind them. Huge wheel flairs covered 15x9 Ronal wheels.
The displacement of engine was dropped slightly from 2144cc to 2133cc so that Audi could satisfy the 3-liter rallying class with a 1.4 times multiplication factor. The enigne had 300 bhp on tap thanks to a turbocharged version of the double overhead cam, 20-valve, cross-flow, five cylinder engine that used an alloy block to save 51 lbs. This was the first Audi engine to use four valves per cylinder and a crossflow head, which helped it reach 143 bhp per liter!
Brakes were upgraded with four-piston calipers that clamped inner vented discs and ABS was included as standard but could be disengaged.
Because of the huge reduction of wheelbase, the rear passenger space suffered the most. There was absolutely no legroom and the rear bench was halved in size. In the front, new Recaro seats were used and an updated dashboard had to be the envy of every other regular Quattro owner.
With 4WD, high gearing and a low weight, the Sport Quattro could hit 0-100 kph in 4.8 seconds, which is an incredible figure still to this day. By comparison the S1 Rally version had 530 bhp and was probably the fastest way to get from point A to point B in 1986.

This plugin seems to work well. I have edited it on the site I have used it on though as I only wanted share buttons to appear on single posts and pages - ie not on the homepage or archives, i also excluded certain pages that were not appropriate to be shared on the site such as the contact page. my changes were hardcoded in the plugin as I do not think the requirements for the site will change, but maybe other users would find additional options useful without making the plugin bloated?
If feature suggestions are being considered, I think a great addition would be the ability to set which pages the buttons are to appear on - various options can be checked (home / pages / single posts / archives etc ) and if pages is checked, maybe there could be a input for a list of pages to be excluded.

NYS Legislature Approves Historic Low Number of Bills By Karen Dewitt • Jul 3, 2012 Governor Cuomo has touted the recently concluded legislative session as "one of the most successful in modern political history". As Karen DeWitt reports, the session also made history in another way. It featured the fewest bills passed by both houses in nearly one hundred years. Capitol Correspondent Karen DeWitt reports… According to an analysis by the New York Public Interest Research Group, the 2012 session resulted in 571 pieces of legislation approved by both houses of the legislature.

WAMC's Lucas Willard reports… Representative Richard Roy, the House chairman of the Environment Committee, said Thursday that he unsuccessfully lobbied House Speaker Christopher Donovan and Governor Dannel P. Malloy. The legislation got no further than his committee.

My friends and I created the Phoenix Temple this year. It was on the 3 o'clock walkway towards the Man. We had a flaming phoenix out front and a temple dome with a large phoenix egg inside where participants put their thoughts of renewal and rebirth for themselves. I built this Phoenix Temple because it symbolized renewal that I had experienced. I left a place I no longer felt was home. I left a job that was a disappointment. I ended a long relationship that had gone up in flames years earlier. I ended my addiction to alcohol. New surroundings and a new, healthy relationship made me feel like the mythical phoenix. I offered this art installation to the Burning Man community because it was there that I first felt my dormant creativity awaken.
Many people thanked us and said they loved it. They often came back to meditate or find some peace and quiet.
We were very honored to have one group of people insert something quite special into the egg for the Egg Burn that happened on Friday night. Apparantly this group were driving to BRC at night when a bird crashed into their windshield causing them to swerve and stop. It was only then that they saw the cow in the middle of the road. They would have hit the cow had the bird not stopped them. Stunned, they drove on. When they arrived they discovered the bird wedged in the windshield. To thank the bird for saving them they placed it into our egg for the burn.
So many people seemed touched by the idea of personal renewal that I wondered if anyone would like to share their Phoenix Temple stories with us. We would love to collect the experiences.

I'd like to get some bar ends for my Hardrock commuter and was wondering if you use them and if so what type do you use or would you suggest?

I do and it's very nice to have another hand position. I have pretty vertical ones but they probably don't have to be so tall. I've seen short stubs that are probably just as good - just tall enough so you can turn your wrist vertically. I also have drop style bar ends so I can get down and crank. Believe it or not they're pretty darn useful - in fact that's where I spend most of my time.

OP---I installed Profile Design bar ends on my folder commuter. I love them. I crank on them regularly with no issues. I also just use them for an alt hand position when seated.
Rum ---I like those drop bars! I just ordered a bike with H-bars, and I think those drop-style bar ends would complement nicely. Thanks for posting the pic; now I can google them.

Thought about them, but I still toss on the knobbies onto my hardtail (commuter) and take it out onto a trail. See a lot of people in the city with them though
Bought the drops from Niagra through Amazon.

Cane Creek ergo bar ends on my winter (flat bar) set up. I like them a very much. I also have them on my mountain bike, which sees only off-road use.
Yeah, on my beater commuter, but I never use them...lame, eh?
I've got a pair of Ergon GC2s. Love the grip and the integrated bar ends for comfy hand positions.
When I rode a hybrid I had bar ends set low to simulate the riding position of the hoods on a drop bar. This was better than a plain straight bar but not as good as a drop bar.
I've used the Cane Creek Ergo II bar ends and the Ergon GX something with the integrated bar ends. I liked the grippy feel of the Cane Creek, but the Ergon grips when set properly were nice, though my hands would slide on the metal bar ends at times. If I knew about those drop bar (bar ends) I would have given those a whirl. I think I'll take a look at them on amazon. Thanks for the pics and the location .
Sure, on my folding bike I have them set forward and slightly below horizontal so they give me a more forward position than the straight bars. Now, if only I had another set of brake handles and shifters out there on them. Every time I need to change gears or brake, it entails a switch of positions.
Still, I spend a lot of time on them. Before this bike I was used to drop bars and downtube shifters.
If something doesn't ache, I could be trying harder.
Any kind of bar end is better than none at all. I've got 3 bikes that have bar ends, all are a different brand and I prefer none over the other.
"Without music, life would be a mistake."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
I LOVE my Ergons GC2s. Just a little comma-shaped protuberance, perfectly comfortable on my palms!
Rumor has it that it's inappropriate to run bar ends on riser bars, but I do it anyway -- rather proudly too. The argument made around here (ad nauseam) is how "drops give you so many more hand positions," but I swear that my risers with a set of Profile Design bar ends provide more than what I get with my drops.
Nothing gets me away from a stoplight faster than grabbing the bar ends and standing on the pedals. I'd advise that if you're putting them on a lightweight bar that you use some type of plug in the end of the handlebar. You can tighten the bar ends on a hollow handlebar tip, but they'll eventually loosen. Mine are extremely tight, so I can really grab 'em and rip when I want.
I'm thinking of switching to these. I'm currently using a set of the Cane Creek Ergo 2's and they are pretty nice, but they position part of my hands over the outboard clamps of the grips and it gets uncomfortable after a while. I think having the two integrated into a single unit would solve that problem. Plus, I'm curious about the shape of the Ergons.
Nope. My flat bar road bike has its flat bars, while my drop bar road bike has its drop bars. Bar ends have always looked odd to me.
JesseDuncan:I just love how "cars will be forced to cross the double yellow lines on dangerous limited visibility roads".
I don't want to have a head on but oh god, I HAVE to fling myself into oncoming traffic to pass, theres no alternative!!!
Worse, I looked into cutting down my straight bar or riser, but I can't because I need all that width to fit the brake levers (hydraulic disks) and shifters (RapidFire)! Adding bar-ends only serves to make the bars all that much more bigger (and intrusive). I put bar-ends on my mountain bike, but it really doesn't seem to help much. Maybe it's a fit issue, but my gut reaction is that it just doesn't work for me, and only adds to the mass and bulk of the straight bars (which, IMO, are already too big). On my Dew, so far, rather than bar-ends, I've been happy with ergo grips. Those have helped me a lot on the comfort end, even if they don't really add any to allowing me to move my hands around to avoid RSS injuries or pain.
In other words, it's tough. For myself, for now, I'm going without barends, and just using ergonomic grips. We'll see how long I last before I put my hydraulics on auction, and get _real_ road bars. ;-)
FYI: for conventional vertical barends you can wrap them with bar tape too. I've used hockey tape on mine, but just because that was the cheapest way to go. $3. at Dick's sporting goods.
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
I've got some Giant branded ones. It's what the LBS had in stock. Got them set up to basically mimic bull horns.
I have a set of no-name ones on my Cannondale Hardtail that I use for road rides/commuting. Having an extra place to set my hands (on a straight-bar bike) is a god send on longer trips.
They might look weird but they feel good.
May you live long, live strong, and live happy!
Curvy ones that I don't like so much:
Straighter ones that are better
I've put some really tiny ones on my dually but I hate those. Something like the Serfas Stabilizer. Really uncomfortable and they don't allow you to stretch out on the bar.
