I was going to put a blurb here about Bike to Work rides on the last Friday of each month all summer, and for the Ingenuity festival next month, but then I found this UK PSA about being aware of cyclists. It's too funny.

The League of American Bicyclists and FutureHeights are teaming up to offer a cycling class that teaches the skills needed to ride safely and confidently in traffic.

Cycling for transportation is becoming more attractive as gas prices rise and having the right cycling instruction can ease the transition to a less car dependent lifestyle.

A nice post on beauty in engineering, featuring bicycles. Fixees, to be specific.

With the support of a range of environmental groups, ClevelandBikes, the Ohio City Bicycle Co-Op and the Earth Day Coalition are pleased to host bike parking at University Circle for their popular Wade Oval Wednesday concerts. Ride on down and enjoy the music, every Wednesday this summer.

Cyclists and Cycling Supporters:
The Ohio Department of Transportation is going to be conducting meetings all over Ohio about sustainable transportation. Cyclists need to participate and let them know about cycling priorities. Sally Hanley of NOACA says therewill be a conference on June 17th at Cleveland State University. You can visit this link for more information andparticipate in a survey: www.dot.state.oh.us/21ctptf/.

If you have the opportunity, please attend the event at CSU and please complete the survey to let the state know you believe cycling is important! You know highway contractors are already involved. Cyclists need to speak up!

Thanks.
