Rudy Rucker talks Glittery Poo

Over on boing boing local science man Rudy Rucker wrote an article on a few new pieces over at the SF Moma, one being a large brightly colored canvas by Frank Stella that I absolutely love.

Get on your bike and ride…to work!

Have a bike? Have a work?

If you answered with a double yes I expect, and hope, to be seeing you on your simple machine celebrating “Bike to Work Day” with other lovers of the velo on Thursday, May 14. Yes, that’s tomorrow! Hooray!

Until a few months ago I was not the bike everywhere sort. It took a while to build up my often needed “I own this road” confidence and the average amount of know-how I now posses. Today I am car free and all about riding my wonderful Soma Doublecross, Diana, almost anywhere I need to go. She makes getting around this beautiful city anything but a chore.

I know there are a lot of worries associated with riding a bike in a fast moving city. For my first few rides thoughts of “Eep! What if I get sweaty and stink up my whole office?” to “Ah! What if I get hit by a delivery truck full of frozen waffles?” crossed my mind more than once.

In an effort to help give these fears a swift kick in the ass with good ol’ fashioned knowledge and preparedness here are a few bike related tidbits to make your journey all the more peaceful.

  • SF Bike Coallition – Check out the SF Bike Coallitions website for the skinny on Bike to Work Day as well as awesome SF related bike news all year round.
  • Diva’s Guide to Biking – While I am very much against the word diva, I am all for not having to give up my love of skirts and frills for my greener mode of transportation.
  • Runmuki: Bicycling Safety – A few tips for getting around the city safe and secure like.

    • Have fun tomorrow my dears, and be safe!

    Will you be partaking in the bike to work greatness tomorrow?
