What L.A. (and Montreal) can learn from Portland

A columnist from the Los Angeles Times ruminates on what makes transit in Portland work - and how they've taken the idea of a car-free city seriously. From bikes to buses to rail, a good read all-around, and a good introduction to the city for the curious.

Watch out for cyclists!

Two cool new videos I came across.

First, a television ad from the UK: the awareness test.



And via the Time's Up website, a look at that organization and Critical Mass in NYC from, of all places, the Yankees online tv channel.

GRAND TINTAMARRE CONTRE L'AUTOROUTE NOTRE-DAME


LE DIMANCHE 13 AVRIL À 13:30
Si vous considérez que prévoir une piste cyclable à côté d'une autoroute n'est pas vraiment une façon de promouvoir les déplacements à vélo, si vous souhaitez vous opposer à un projet qui facilite l'accès au centre-ville à un nombre toujours plus important d'autos et de camions, si vous ne voulez pas d'une nouvelle autoroute en milieu urbain à Montréal, prenez part au Grand Tintamarre organisé par la Coalition pour humaniser la rue Notre-Dame (dont vous pouvez au passage signer la pétition en ligne). Rendez-vous le dimanche 13 avril à 13h30, rue Sainte-Catherine, métro Papineau. Code vestimentaire : vert durable et bleu fleuve.
Venez nombreux, à vélo, en patins, ou juste avec vos pieds, et emmenez vos famille, amis, collègues et voisins, pour dire non à l'autoroute Notre-Dame et pour réclamer un projet plus contemporain, plus citoyen, plus durable, plus respectueux de la santé publique et de l'environnement, plus sécuritaire, plus écologique, plus économique, plus optimiste pour les générations futures, mieux intégré, plus humain tout simplement !

The Bike Show

greetings bicycle lovers!

Here's a quick résumé of the meeting we had last sunday evening about
organizing a velorutionary resistance to the 'Salon de L'auto" (Car Show).

We were only three, so it would be cool to see others join us in this
effort. If You're feeling inspired, we'll be speaking about it again at a
'winter biking' workshop at the coop sur genereux this sunday 13 january,
2-3pm.

-=-=- LE SALON DU VÉLO! THE BIKE SHOW! -=-=-

Sunday 20 January, at the corner of Viger and St. Urbain, join us in
showing the car-crazy consumers what a truly beautiful design looks like.

While the 'Salon de L'Auto' goes on inside the Palais de Congres, we will
amuse ourselves despite the violence wrought by automobiles.

Bring your bike to the first, out-door, velo-rutionary bike show!
Why? A bike is...sexy, practical, fast, REALLY green, unique, mechanical,
puissant, aero-dynamic, feminist, cheap!

Decorate your bike! Put some energy into something really unique. There
will be a prize for the most beautiful bike!

There will also be a free community lunch, and music!

It would also be great to see strange machines and contraptions that have
been made from bike parts.

Get those 'two-talls', low-riders, fixeys, recumbants, unicycles,
trailers, all manners of pedal-power down to the 'Salon du Velo'!

It's a bike party in front of the Montreal Car Show!

Ok my darling cyclists!

It's that time of the year again,
We leave for our ride and it's dark outside.

So,

ALL YOU CAN GLOW critical mass!!!



Get your bikes ready with flashing lights!
Wear all the reflective gear that you own!

And let's take the streets as one happy, flashing, glowing mass...
