Mayor McGinn's Plan for Seawall Improvements
On January 14, 2010, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn spoke at the old Washington Street Public Boat Landing, across from Bicycle Paper's offices. He was there for a press conference regarding the deteriorating seawall near downtown’s waterfront. So what does it mean to Seattle taxpayers and downtown bicycle commuters?An Evening With Tyler Farrar
Home from Belgium for Thanksgiving, the Washington native packed his week full of appearances, including a meet and greet at Cycle U in Seattle. Fans lined up for pictures, autographs and a quick chat with the local hero. He even took the time to speak with young aspiring cyclists, fanning the flame for the next generation.Ride It, Pack It, Eat It and What’s Dutch for Durable?
In this month’s issue of Bicycle Paper we feature an extensive product review section. With so many great cycling-specific goods on the market it’s easy to be overwhelmed by which ones to choose from. We have tested lots of gear in 2009 and have elected to highlight some of our favorites, starting with WorkCycles' Secret Service Bicycle.SealLine Urban Backpack - Keeping the Elements Out
Bicycle commuters need something that effectively carries their gear and can withstand the rigors of inclement weather. SealLine, known for their bombproof dry bags, created a backpack for just that. If you’re looking for something that will keep your gear dry and is really comfortable, even on the longest of commutes, this one does so in spades.

Panic, adrenaline, flight, that brief window when you don’t know if you’ll outrun chomping canines, until a final kick of speed and a few braveheart howls gets you over. Few activities shock the monkey like a good sprint to safety ... allowing you to live more fully in the present.Stupid is as Stupid Does
She rode on the left side of the path, the wrong side, the side oncoming cyclists, skaters and runners use. There was no reason for her choice of the left side, but that’s where she’d stay. Occasionally, she’d drift to the right but soon she’d be back on the left. I remember wondering if she drives her car on the wrong side of the highway.Custom Bicycles: A Passionate Pursuit - Book Review
“A bicycle frame builder is no ordinary man. He has given man the ability to travel under his own power at speeds in excess of 100 kilometers per hour.” The book features 39 builders from Australia, Europe and the United States. Colorful photos of handcrafted bicycles fill up over 200 pages, some as beautiful, sleek and thin as a Calvin Klein model.Bicycle Dreams: The Race Across America
The Race Across America (RAAM) is seen as the single most difficult challenge in the endurance cycling world. It is a testament to the human spirit and the pinnacle of physical limits. Of all who attempt, less than half will finish. For those who do complete the race it’s the accomplishment of a lifetime.
