Wouldn't it be great if Penn State students, staff, and faculty could grab a bike, ride across campus to a meeting or work, and drop the bike off a la the Parisian Velib program? Lienard Chang and the University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA) Facilities Committee are proposing just that. They've named it the rideBLUE program. UPUA plans to collaborate with B-Cyle in Denver CO.They've also studied other programs such as the bike-share at Carnegie Mellon University. After inserting a Penn State ID+ or other ID, you could grab a bike and go. No charges unless you kept the bike for more than 8 hr or for loss or excessive damage. You must wear a helmet!! If you'd like to help, please

Joint us for the the next, and last CRBC Bike in movie on August 6th, at Tudek Park, starting around 8:15PM. The movie will be Back to the Future. This classic features a zany professor, rowdy youth, time travel, and the invention of the skate board. I suspect that most of you haven't seen this classic time travel flick in a while, and need to re-up. CRBC would like to thank and recognize CRPR, Freeze Thaw, Envinity, Videon and Keveau for putting together the Bike-In-Movie series. There have been a lot of folks showing up in cars (we like cars too), but need to see some more bikes. The Bike-in-movie event has grown organically into a really popular family oriented community event. We like that. You'll need to bring a blanket or some chairs. Snacks are a good thing to bring too. |

 Asheville, N.C. - Motorist Charles Alexander Diez (photo at left) has been charged with first degree attempted murder after shooting at a cyclist carrying his child in a bike seat. According to the Asheville Citizen-Times, "Diez, 42, apparently fired at the Asheville man after arguing with him about riding his bike on the busy road with his 3-year-old child in a bike seat behind him, Asheville Police Capt. Tim Splain said. Diez was driving his car off Interstate 40 at Exit 55 at about 11:24 a.m. Sunday when he saw Alan Ray Simons and his wife riding bikes up the road with Simons' 3-year-old son behind him in a bike seat, he said. 'He decided he needed to tell them he thought it was unsafe that they would do that and have their child out there in an area where they had a lot of traffic,' Splain said. Diez stopped his car and confronted Simons near 1360 Tunnel Road. When Simons began to walk away, Diez shot at him, Splain said.
The bullet blew a hole through the outer lining of Simons' helmet and went straight through both sides of it, but he was not hit.Simons and others who witnessed the incident took down Diez's registration plate number and called police. After consulting with the Buncombe County District Attorney's Office, police charged Diez with one count of attempted first-degree murder. 'A matter of an inch or less in either direction would have meant that bullet could have easily killed Mr. Simons,' Splain said.

A new word was added to the official Danish dictionary last year. Speaking at Velo-City 2009 in Brussels, Copenhagen mayor Klaus Bondam, said “schottelkot” (bicycle congestion) entered the Danish lexicon because rush hour bike commuters in larger Danish cities sometimes wait through 2 or 3 red light cycles at major intersections. Bondam described the phenomenon as a sign of the city’s successful policy of promoting cycling and walking over car use. He went on to outline Copenhagen’s plan to alleviate bike congestion by taking more space from cars for bicycle infrastructure.
While some city governments work for solutions to scottelkot, government is behind the source of this summer’s major impediment to bike traffic flow in College Township. Cyclists and Pedestrians have been asking why a bike path tunnel has been closed for construction for over six weeks when no work is being done in the tunnel.

News out of Jefferson County, Colorado is that the Jefferson County Commisioners are hoping to propose state legislation to allow individual counties in that state to ban bikes from roads they deem unsafe for cycling.

This cycle trap is on the ramp from westbound College Ave. to University Drive. Watch out for it, especially at night!
