Listen to the show here.

Yes, I have [...]]]>
Brian Lehrer had a good show on today about Twitter.
From the site:
“Farhad Manjoo, Slate’s technology columnist and the author of True Enough: Learning To Live in a Post-Fact Society talks about what Twitter means and how different groups use it. “

Listen to the show here.

Yes, I have decided to embrace this new technological networking tool and have decided to scour my news feeds for Biker tweets. Eventually I would like to use twitter to have up to the minute reports for road conditions, street closures and perhaps where the police are harassing cyclists.

My twitter is: twitter.com/greenbiker

Here are few things I got linked too:

BikeRater has lots of Bicycle related news stories from the pros to recreational rides. Here is a link to a NY Times article about biking along the historic path of the underground railroad.

Noneck found this definition in Wikipedia for “Copenhagenization” (from the site) “Copenhagenization is a concept in urban planning and design relating to the implementation of Copenhagen-style bicycle lanes in cities. Namely creating segregated bicycle facilities for utility cycling. The term is said to have originated with urban design consultant Jan Gehl.”

twitter.com/brooklynbybike who runs the blog brooklynbybike.com posted this from Treehugger, ahhh, McDonalds in Chicago has indoor bicycle parking?
