USA Today

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-05-10-bike-counters_N.htm

through a friend of a friend i got interviewed for this story and then a photog came out and took some pics, ended up being a pretty good way to get hartford's bikers at least mentioned in a national paper!

the comments do illustrate that we have a LONG way to go on making the roads safe for all users.

    The parade is more festive and has more crazy bikes in it? Hey Ben, the email you list on your blog keeps kicking back, how do I get in touch with you outside of this blog? Ted.

    beatbikeblog@spiney.com should work for everyone again. some kind of weird spam-rejection thing. it would seem no mail has been delivered in the last six months or so.

    I figured we had just become really unpopular.
