People are Awesome

Sometimes it's fun to watch people hurt themselves and FAIL but it can be just as much fun to remember how RAD people can be!

You can also show your support by emailing, writing or calling your alder person and telling them that Milwaukee by Bike is good for Milwaukee, Talking points are available here and a sample letter/email for your alder person is available here. You can read the complete plan at www.milwaukeeplan.bfw.org.

Save the TURF

As many BMXers and Skateboarders now in their 30's or 40's know, THE TURF was my home away from home.

Now, after 15 years, the DOT has unearthed the skate park as part of a road project on HWY 894. When the project is over, the DOT is planing on turning the land (and bowls) back over to the city of Greenfield. Many skaters are trying to SAVE THE TRUF. For more info or to just show your support, check out these facebook links.

Save the Truf is also doing a benefit show at the Cactus Club on Sep. 10, 2010 w/ Call me Lightning, Get Rad & No Future

It was 24 years ago today that the movie RAD came out on the silver screen.

Here is the opening credits from the movie - it's hilarious.

Man, has the world of BMX come a long way in 24 years.

It's a nice day for a bike ride.

A ride

Warm, Spring-like weather fell upon Milwaukee this week, so I pulled out my bicycle. As I rode through Milwaukee's Walker Point/Fifth Ward I saw this poster on the fence of an antique store.

Google Maps adds Bike Maps

Google will be adding turn by turn bike directions to Google Maps. It is in the beta stage right now and doesn't work everywhere yet. The goal of the map is to get you from point A to point B by using a combination of bike lanes, bike paths and city streets.
