Nicely done! This also illustrates the potential for a _suspended_ longtail.
Bikes, rubbish, and bikerubbish
Derek Pearson takes nice photographs, but that's not the half of it. He keeps a nice website and blog called Bikes? Rubbish!!, and has lots of good ideas for living-the-bike. He puts them into practice too:
Picking up the trash Category: General Posted by: Derek
A while ago I got a flat tire because somebody used the bike lane as a beer bottle drop. Changing a rear tire on these cruiser x's is no small feat. You need clamps, a crescent wrench, a phillips head screwdriver, patience and an allen tool.
Not wanting to repeat the process, I loaded up bag and broom and went back to sweep up the glass. I picked up some garbage along the way as well and found it to be very enjoyable.
I emailed the city and they promptly dropped off a bunch of bags at my house and offered to come pick them up when they were full. I went out and filled bags, had fun doing it and even made some friends along the way. I kept thinking how cool it would be to have a whole fleet of xtracycles out picking up trash...
Yeah, what he said.

Silver Spring Pedestrian Safety Committee to Meet Monday, March 24
So Silver Spring, Maryland, is unincorporated. To be honest, I don't really know all the implications of this fact, but I do know that we don't really have a local government other than the County government. We do however, have the Silver Spring Regional Services Center (SS RSC). The RSC has a number of boards and committees that advise county decisions. I don't know to what degree they actually make things happen, but I should investigate. In anycase, the Citizens Advisory Board has a...
Transportation & Pedestrian Safety Committee
...and they have a meeting this Monday:
You are welcome to join us for the next meeting of the Silver Spring Transportation and Pedestrian Safety Committee meeting on Monday, 3/24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Silver Spring Regional Center (8435 Georgia Ave, at the corner of Georgia and Wayne). The agenda will include:If you have any thoughts, ideas, or questions, or for information, call 301-565-7300.
- Update: We will survey and discuss new pedestrian safety or transportation issues from the past month, including several recent pedestrian accidents.
- New Silver Spring Library: We will propose and discuss a letter about parking, construction, and related issues at the new Silver Spring library following last month's discussion and presentation by the Silver Spring library manager.
- Pedestrian safety and other issues in the proposed county operating budget.
- Construction -- and lack of it -- on the Metropolitan Branch Trail through Silver Spring and Takoma Park.
- Improving safety and possible changes near the intersection of Georgia Ave. and Seminary Rd. in Montgomery Hills.
We should all be going to things like this. I haven't been, but I think I'll start on Monday.

The Bag Cradle not-a-rack rack
The Bag Cradle not-a-rack rack, originally uploaded by jefftron3000. Um, can you say "RAD!"

the company's (that is, Carousel Design Works') website

Nifty!
Dummy!
Compatibility!

[w/ James Bleakely, Black Sheep Fabrications, Colorado]
Smart money's on the Big Dummy
From the Star-Tribune: Threading his way through heavy traffic on a bicycle, Nick Sande has grown accustomed to drivers peering out their windows at him. Sometimes, the car-bound commuters give in to curiosity, roll down their windows and shout: "What is that thing?"
A "freakenstein" bike. A cargo bike. The latest design from Sande's employer, local bike manufacturer Surly, the thing Sande rides has a lot of descriptions. Surly calls it the "Big Dummy."
Joking aside, the long-tail cargo bicycle that Surly rolled out last month is being welcomed by some cyclists as a practical replacement for cars.
It carries passengers and as much as 200 pounds of cargo, thanks to an extended frame. An optional electric motor coaxes the bike down the road at 20 miles per hour. The setup weighs 6 to 7 pounds more than a conventional bike. But it's not cheap -- a fully assembled Big Dummy will set you back about $1,700. The motor, sold by Clever Cycles of Portland, Ore., runs at least $1,350 more.
It's a vehicle made for recessionary times -- and for coping with surging fuel prices.
At the website of Surly's corporate parent, Bloomington-based Quality Bike Products, visitors are treated to a calculator that allows them to plug in their commute distances and parking costs and get estimates of the payoff time for buying a new bike for that ride to work.
The Big Dummy looks like something from the Third World, where gasoline prices and the expenses of cars have demanded ingenuous transportation solutions. Think Cambodian cyclos, or the bicycle sidecars of Myanmar.
The story behind the Big Dummy's design isn't that far off from such exotic origins.
Surly makes the Big Dummy in conjunction with Oakland, Calif.-based Xtracycle, which has made a bolt-on attachment for standard bicycles since 1998. The company, still small with just two full-time employees, needed a framemaker to grow its market. After some initial meetings in 2006, a partnership was formed.
"They told us straight up, 'We're not frame designers, you are,'" Sande said.
Xtracycle founder Ross Evans said his idea for a long-tail bike grew out of experiences he had in Nicaragua while studying bicycles as transportation for his master's degree in engineering and Latin American studies from Stanford University. A Vietnam veteran working in Managua as a frame-builder convinced Evans of the value of a long-tail design: Its single-wheel path made more sense than a tricycle. And as a bolt-on attachment to a regular bicycle, it allowed Evans to reuse conventional frames. "I came to believe in it," Evans said.
He eventually founded a company in Northern California in 1998 to build and sell a "free radical," something that looks like half of a bike frame. It's designed to be bolted onto a standard frame to create a long bike. Evans estimates that he's sold 5,000 Xtracycle attachments. The company also makes accessories for carrying people and gear.
The collaboration with Surly, a major national bike brand, will add momentum to his vision for long-tail bikes, Evans said.
"It's so synergistic. It's grown the whole pie," he said.
The Xtracycle mission was never about market dominance anyway, Evans said.
"What we're interested in building is a movement and a platform. We feel that has more strength in it than being the titan," he said.
"You could compare the Xtracycle platform to the iPod platform," said Sande, "in that Apple allows other companies to make aftermarket products to support their products. So the more Xtracycle or iPod compatible products that are out there, the more likely people are to buy the platform product."
Setting off a buzz
Surly made three prototypes before working out the bugs, he said. Surly advertised the bike last summer, setting off a buzz in the bike world long before the frame was available.
The framemaker, a plant in Taiwan, had to redesign plant machinery to accommodate the large frame, Sande said.
"They kind of based everything on how long a tandem bike would be," he said. "The jig to hold all the tubes together, to weld them and align them, are all custom for this frame."
The company curved the top tube, making it easier for a rider to stand flat-footed at a stoplight or to swing a leg over the bar rather than the seat, in case the rear of the bike is loaded high with gear.
Surly ordered 300 frames in the first production run. The frames arrived last month and were distributed among some of the 4,500 retailers that are clients of Quality Bike Products. In Minneapolis, One on One Bicycle Studio and the Freewheel Bike shop got some of the frames.
"The alternative transportation market is huge. People come in talking about gas prices and about giving up their cars all the time," said Josh Klauck, sales manager at Freewheel. Demand for the Big Dummy has been strong, he said.
"It's insane," Klauck said. "One guy wanted us to ship it out to Australia."
The long-term effects of fuel prices may drive up bike sales, but not everyone's so sure.
"A lot of people think, 'Yeah, we're going to see an increase in sales because of gas prices," One on One owner Gene Oberpriller said. "Those of us in the industry say it's debatable. People are still going to spend the money on the gas. They're going to cut other expenses out."
That's the feeling of Jason Cao, a transportation researcher at the University of Minnesota.
"People will adjust behavior temporarily," he said. If gas prices remain high, people may begin moving closer to cities to cut their gas bills before they abandon automobiles, he said.
Still, with gas expected to hit $4 a gallon in the Midwest this year, the Big Dummy has been embraced by bicyclists as the beginning of something new. Longtime rider and Big Dummy owner Karl Stoerzinger said he feels like a pioneer.
"I have the new thing that no one else really has," he said.

Homemade Samoas
The idea of homemade Samoas is pretty shocking and wonderful. This is unrelated to practical cycling, unless you hadn't noticed.
BeyondDC on Monday's WP Transportation Piece
BeyondDC on transportation privatization:
What was that about responding to the market?The number of major new rail and bus projects on track for federal funding dropped from 48 in 2001 to 17 in 2007, even as transit ridership hit a 50-year high last year and demand for new service is soaring.
And for the record, those numbers are before the FTA went on a project-killing spree early in 2008 that knocked off the Silver line and Miami’s North corridor, among others. It’s all you really need to know about the Bush administration’s transportation ideology, which is ostensibly market-based. If you really want to delve deeper though, check out the rest of today’s Post article on the subject, then compare it with the article about a Transportation Planning Board study detailing a potential future of tolls on existing highways.
The TPB’s vision: Balance transportation by making drivers pay user fees and sinking the toll profits into expanding transit.
Bush’s vision: Reduce highway congestion by selling roads to private businesses who will toll highly enough to discourage use. Toll profits go to private businesses. Users who are discouraged from using the highways… are somebody else’s problem.
Right-O. Isn't this how we got into this mess in the first place? I remember something about GM buying up streetcar lines...
More Bad Work From The Bush Administration
Monday, in the Washington Post, there was an article about efforts by Bush administration appointees to privatize the public transportation infrastructure: Letting the Market Drive Transportation Bush Officials Criticized for Privatization By Lyndsey Layton and Spencer S. Hsu Monday, March 17, 2008; Page A1
Now you know that I'm all for congestion pricing, but sacrificing mass transit to put public infrastructure in the hands of private companies is not exactly what I had in mind. In fact, I'd say it's a downright _bad idea_. Mobility is one of the things that defines opportunity, and equality of opportunity is one of the things for which we should be striving. The is especially true since the political climate doesn't look kindly on other types of equality, such as equality of financial, educational, and nutritional resources, among other. My point is not that user-fees are bad idea - to the contrary, I think they're a good idea. The problem is that privatization projects favor one type of transportation (automobiles), and use public money that would otherwise go to other forms of transit with (a) much lower economic barriers to entry for individuals, (b) smaller environmental impacts, and (c) greater community benefits. In addition, channeling the profits from transportation projects to private investors will increase the chasm between rich owners and poor users, further inculcating divisions of class and more than likely, race/ethnicity.
What really rubs me is that much of this has been done by an appointee with no background in transportation. Tyler Duvall, the assistant secretary for transportation policy, seems energetic and bright, but also sheltered and dogmatic. I'd be happy to read a deeper profile, and find out that he really understands the plight of the poor or even the middle-class, but Layton and Hsu didn't come to that conclusion. With no prior experience in anything transportation-related, Duvall was appointed by Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters (she is really starting to get on my nerves). Like the bumper sticker says: if you're not outraged, you're paying close enough attention.
D.J. Gribbin, the Transportation Department's general counsel, was also profiled. He's the one who said, "It's almost sort of un-American that we should be forced to sit and be stuck in traffic." There is a lot to say about this comment, but let me just say I think we need to decide exactly what defines the term American. I think it would be a grave injustice to say life, liberty, and the ability to drive unfettered on the open road are the highest values to which we ascribe. Solipsistic lack of empathy in favor of dogmatic free-market theory may be internally consistent, but this thinking does not allow for the reality or complexity of transportation in America. Here are some other folks who Link to the Layton/Hsu article

Enter the CITYRACKS Design CompetitionThe Bike Pusher: why you should ride
So, generally, I don't like to push bikes on people who don't already want or
like them. I'm going to break my own rule here in support of the
creation of additional convenient bicycle parking in the commonspace
in our building.
First though, I want to say that I am not strictly anti-car. I own a
car, I use
it, I enjoy driving it (sometimes). I think cars can be useful and fun.
Now that I have that out of the way, I'd like to talk about other things:
community, health, economic diversity, environmental degradation (including
global warming), and finally, convenience.
Community:
Nothing builds commmunity like personal contact between people. It's
easiest on
foot, but walking is sometimes too slow, and has a limited range in general.
It's hard to stop and chat with someone going the other way when
you're driving
a car. Bicycle: just right. Without the glass and steel shell, you
experience
the physical community, rather than watch it go by on the other side of the
window.
Health:
No social speech needed here. Exercise is good for you. Walking is good.
According to the CDC, people are healthier in "walkable communities." Biking
is healthy too.
Economic diversity:
Aside from the cost of the car itself, owning a car costs an average of $7000
each year. Plus, the more you use it, the more you pay in gas and
maintenance.
Walking? Free. Riding a bike? Maybe $1000/yr, maybe less. If you can live
without owning a car, you can save a lot of bread. Conversely, if you don't
have a lot of bread, riding a bike is a good option.
Environmental degradation:
The Union of Concerned Scientists, and many other groups, say that a typical
American's car, compared with all other personal objects and
activities, has the largest environmental impact by a wide margin.
They recommend tuning cars regularly, keeping tires inflated, and
shopping with gas mileage in mind as ways to mitigate the
environmental damage caused by driving. They also recommend reducing
use. The statistics for car trips are nutty: A huge majority of auto
trips are under one mile. We can do better!
Try this: use an alternative method once a week for a trip for which
you typically use a car.
Next, try to go car free one or two days a week.

Power To The Pedal Competition - UNESCO
The push for bicycle use is gaining global relevance not just as a leisure activity, but as a solution to a range of problems like pollution, congestion, rising gas prices and issues surrounding community health. In urban areas around the world, advocacy groups are staking a claim for bicycles and educating the public about the benefits of biking as a means of transport, fitness and fun.
Promoting bicycle use also means enabling it; local governments are being tasked to improve infrastructure to create more convenient and safer routes as well as incentives for biking. City initiatives like Bike to Work Day and other bike share projects are promoting public awareness of the positive impact of biking on health, wellbeing and the environment.
This competition calls for a biking accessory or add-on for existing bikes that would improve the bicycling experience and encourage more people to make biking their primary means of transport – more convenient, more enjoyable, safer and more integrated into daily lifestyles – whether it's for commuting, working, shopping, transporting, leisure or all of the above. In your description, you should define the user scenario and design problem that your design attempts to solve.
You cannot enter any design that already exists on the market or has been put into commercial production, or that you do not own the rights to.

Lousy Tree-Huggers -or- Reducing the Barriers
Ugg. Generally I agree with the Sierra Club. Almost always. But frequently I don't like their tone. For example, here is a wee test/quiz/survey that assesses the environmental impact of one's bicycle riding. I get it, and I agree (that's why this website is called The Practical Cyclist), but do they have to judge people to get the point across? Is the cause best served in doing so? I suggest it is not. I suggest that making people answer a survey like this makes them justify and defend their behavior, and sets up barriers to improvement. If I check off, "I drive to and from the starting point of my rides," I know what the <em>best</em> answer is, and right away I feel the need to justify my actions. I might as well add, "because it's too far away," or "because I don't feel safe riding on city streets."
Why not just start the conversation on a positive note? Lets take a cue from the enormously successful fields of sales and marketing, and lead in with a few pre-emptive suggestions like these:
- Here's how to fix a flat...
- Riding in the city, or with auto-traffic, can be safe and enjoyable. Here are some tips...
- Do you dread getting in the car on the weekend? This week, try doing one errand on your bike. Plan ahead, make sure your bike is in good shape and you have a lock. A helmet can be useful too, but only if you crash ;-).
- If you're feeling really adventuresome, break out a map and plan a route for Bike to Work Day. It's May 16th this year, if you live in the DC area.
So there you go, that's the word. If you read this, and you actually do live in the DC area, and want help using a bicycle to commute or do errands, get in touch, or check out The Practical Cyclist's other website, which still needs a lot of work.
