I recommend checking out this humorous and informative video on proper bike locking from NYC Streetfilms. http://www.streetfilms.org/hal-grades-your-bike-locking/

If you want to get excited about velodrome racing, check out the true-story film The Flying Scotsman.

I'm glad the program will be expanded. The bigger the system, the more usable. There need to be stations close to the LRT and Amtrak--especially if this is seen as a "last mile" solution. (Why isn't Zip Car at Sac Valley Station yet??)

Everyone keeps making this assumption that HSR needs to directly pay for it self through the fare box. This is a red herring. How many new freeway lanes are directly paying for themselves? We need to remember that improving the transportation network (trains, roads, air, and so on) spurs economic development, so HSR can have big return on investment.

It's really neat to see a little dessert district growing up around there. Within about a block and a half one can get dessert at Crepeville, Trey B Cakes, Ginger Elizabeth's, Yogurtagogo, and now Devine Gelateria. Now all we need is a pie place, they could do meat pies and dessert pies like Z Pie in Placerville.
