  1. =v= Interesting program in Santa Rosa, California. As an incentive to bike (or skate) to work,
    commuters get free movies. There's an article in the _San_Francisco_Chronicle_:

    sfgate.comarticle.cgi

    If that wraps, here's a shorter URL (with ads):

    sfgate.comarticle.cgi

    =v= I'm not nuts about the "die-hard" and "environmental martyr" characterizations (10 miles in
    lovely Marin is hardly martyrdom) and I'd contest the "free ride" headline with the inevitable
    reminder about us subsidizing motorists, but otherwise it's a good article for the _Chron_.

    =v= I haven't seen this item in any of the "Oddly Enough" newswire sections, but the folks at the
    notoriously anti-bike KGO has put it in their "News of the Bizarre" section:

    abclocal.go.combizarre news.html

    (URL will expire by tomorrow, no doubt.) <_Jym_

    He sure does save alot of money, 2 to 3 million a year! He must have VERY expensive taste in cars.
    Or maybe that's just the cost of living in California.

    Santa Rosa is in Sonoma County, and can be a tad urban in places.

    =v= Whoops, my bad, I was thinking of San Rafael.

    =v= Santa Rosa still isn't "die-hard" "martyr" territory, though. The main danger I encountered
    there was boredom. <_Jym_>

    (Oh, and the one-foot-wide bike lanes at the fairgrounds.)

    =v= I found out about this site in alt.comics.peanuts; it's a Japanese site that publishes old
    _Peanuts_ strips:

    snoopy.co.jp200303

    This month there are a bunch of strips featuring Rerun on the back of his mother's bike. Dig the
    1980's-style helmet! :^) <_Jym_
