Reason being is We are not doing enough in the private sector to PREVENT bike theft from proliferating. We don't lock up correctly and most of us are in cars insulated from the events on the street.

Our mega giant high schools combined with slack enforcement of the golden rule have over the past 60 years turned our schools into juvenile delinquent factories. Thanks for the data Robyn.

Baskets on a bike would solve this problem.. Perhaps Also people should always move to a place near good shopping by bike. Far more sustainable than a giant new parking lot the size of our waistful walmarts and costcos.

Yesterday a stoned driver flung his door out on sixteenth street omitting his canicloud in my face. and nearly taking me out in heavy traffic. A zoned area would solve so many of our problems. Perhaps the ever declining K street Mall? One big "red light" district? Discuss.

Drug users will also become part of the solution as they will fund rehab for those who come to their senses thus reducing their numbers and their liability to the rest of the human race. Drugs and chemical lobotomy are at the epicenter of the demise of the human race. We have the solutions but are running out of time.

Amsterdam poured tens of thousands of bikes into the city decades ago and they are all gone but what was left behind was a rich bicycle culture. Bike theft in midtown is rampant and our habits of securing our steeds our poor in general. Recommend always locking up well and out in the open. Report your theft emediately so the police can do their job getting recovered bikes back to their owners.

They have a 5 game winning streak. There are so many stories to tell about this cinderella story. The Lady Hornetshave come out of nowhere to find themselves. They play the end of a back to back tonight! John Boyer 2010-02-07T00:53:35Z John Boyer comment-21732 2010-02-05T06:10:19Z 2010-02-05T06:10:19Z Thank the gods! Mental image of an old sole now erased. I love this story; A start from scratch coffee loving hipster group picks up a giant corporations discard and runs with it. Nice work indeed. Perhaps all you DO need is love! Onespeed Pizza uses Old Soul and thats sez it all! Oh they have 2 River Cider there too.

The Sacramento State womens team has their first 4 game winning streak with hardly an eye brow raised as well. Good luck to my favorite player Kara Lawson as well John Boyer 2010-02-03T18:48:33Z John Boyer comment-21193 2010-01-24T21:03:55Z 2010-01-24T21:03:55Z I think there was a point where the musical chairs (constantly changing line ups) took the sails out of a better than expected start. This is the hardest type of season to coach. I worry about the ramifications of constant change. Injuries are a big factor in this rebuid proccess. Perhaps its time to buy a big fella for the interior? Hope Westphal has a promising second half and finds a stabe lineup so the team dynamic can get some traction and players can work/communicate with each other effectively. Great to have you here Marty! John Boyer 2010-01-24T21:03:55Z John Boyer comment-21192 2010-01-24T20:46:01Z 2010-01-24T20:46:01Z tough crowd. Feel good stories without "controversey" are always attacked. Heres the real story: paper with questionable past does good. Sets example by taking responsibility by going green and finding its affinity with mother earth. City rewards god decision making with incentives and an abandoned hood gets another shot of optimism. Doom and gloom guys comeout to pull the plug. I personally dont care if SNR does another story about corruption without solutions ever again. I am tired of putting people on trial without due proccess via the media. Bring on the SOLUTIONS for optimum survival for all.
