If This Doesn't Inspire You...
Then I don't know what will. I need to not only get a helmet asap, but once I do I will never ride without one... This is Rebecca Rae's story:
"starting at 6.30p. august 15th, i started in an alley cat bicycle race around the city i love and hate, birmingham, alabama. i was making excellent time, i was on my way to my 4th stop within 20 minutes. i was making a turn onto 14th street on my way to my 4th stop, then i don’t remember anything…
until i was riding in the back of an ambulance to UAB’s emergency. i was told i was going too fast as i hit a bad patch of pavement, and went head first over my handle bars landing directly on the crown of my head. i suffered a seizure at the sight, road rash along my left side, a black eye, and a major concussion. i was placed immediately into UAB’s NICU ( neural intensive care unit) and went into surgery early monday morning to have two sub-dermal hematomas removed to relieve a dangerous pressure on my brain, the procedure is called a bi-frontal craniotomy.
i am however, really lucky. as it has only been 5 days i am home, walking, talking, and am able to function. there are so many people who end up losing motor or brain function. i am extremely blessed.
i wasn’t wearing a helmet though i should have been.
please, if you ride a bike, for the sake of your life and mine, wear a helmet."

Cincinnati Puts Money into Biking!
Taken from NBC in Cincinnati:
"Cyclists in Cincinnati are now longer just spinning their wheels when it comes to getting more bike paths.
Thursday night, Cincinnati began working with neighbors on a multimillion dollar master plan. It's the first such plan in more than 30 years.
The city is spending around $5 million to overhaul bicycle routes citywide. Almost $4.5 million will go to expanding the Ohio bike trial. And $300,000 is expected to be spent on bike trails along the banks Downtown. Another $270,000 will be spend on enhancements like bike racks, news signs and "sharrows," the markings on roads that remind drivers to share the road with bicyclists.
Thursday night, Cincinnati held an open house in Northside to unveil its bicycle master plan. Planners not only wanted to find out what specific improvements bikers wanted, but also what it would take to move people from behind the wheel, to behind the handle bars.
"Who's the last person that we can get out on a street on a bike, and what's it going to take to do that?" said Jack Martin, acting city architect.
Bike advocates say it will not only help Cincinnati seem more vibrant, but also safer, adding extra eyes to the street."

Coolest Thing Ever
Would you ever guess that getting around via bicycle was faster than a helicopter? Well it is! Read below...
Being the business hub of South America and one of the largest cities in the world has its bitter side: São Paulo has been drowning in a sea of automobiles (6 million and counting) for quite some time, and the future doesn’t show any signs of improvement. Insufficient buses and subway lines, together with private vehicles mostly with single occupants, compose a scenario of daily chaos, with frequently over 80kms (50mi) of traffic jams in the main avenues.
This car-centric urban transport model is showing signs of exhaustion. The average São Paulo inhabitant spends almost three hours a day stuck in traffic jams. That’s about 15 hours a week – or almost 2 working days. Apart from the economic and psychological damages, let alone the carbon footprint, this situation is a true hindrance for the city’s development and for the well-being of the people who live in it.
It was in this scenario that the São Paulo Intermodal Challenge was held. The challenge was simple: to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible – during rush hour – using the mode of transportation of your choice. The goal was to raise awareness regarding a number of alternatives to cars, and to promote the World Carless Day, by proving that avoiding traffic – and its consequences – might just be a matter of choice.
The means of transportation chosen ranged from cars, bikes, motorbikes, and a helicopter to buses, metro, their own feet and even a wheelchair. Contrary to all forecasts, a biker won the challenge, with a total time of 22 minutes – more than 10 minutes faster than the person on the helicopter, who spent a total of 33 minutes and 30 seconds between going to the heliport, waiting for takeoff clearance, flying and landing.
The car came way behind, with a total time of 1:22– slower than the runner, who took 1:06, the bus (1:11) and just 10 minutes faster than the person who chose to walk the whole path (1:32).
