And for an article in a local paper, that's really off. If someone had written an article like that for one of Chicago's papers, I would feel the same way. Like, huh? Have you not looked around and seen the thousands of people in our city doing this already?Dottiehttp://letsgorideabike.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181898885729037877.post-21733644387303138442011-08-22T22:36:32.071-07:002011-08-22T22:36:32.071-07:00Man said...

I won't be too judgmental, but it is a magazine of "average 6 year old transplants" who look down upon the "new arrivals"....<br /><br />OK I will stop, but will offer a constructive suggestion and that would be for you to send your well written blog post to the editor Robin Rinaldi. To her credit she is very open to publishing all sorts of comments on 'Letters to the Editor' even some of the most unfavorable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181898885729037877.post-43274470579974620572011-08-20T10:37:16.033-07:002011-08-20T10:37:16.033-07:00It just goes to show that people in cars don:t see...It just goes to show that people in cars don:t see the bike culture all around them.Ramona Wheelrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060065042602126897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181898885729037877.post-61528864960924968182011-08-20T10:00:25.276-07:002011-08-20T10:00:25.276-07:00I'm not holding it against her, and I think I ...I'm not holding it against her, and I think I clearly stated that. <br /><br />I am shocked, however, that a San Francisco publication uses an article from New York from LAST YEAR as the inspiration when so many wonderful things have been happening right in front of their eyes regarding biking here. A better article for 7x7 would have represented our city better.Kristin Tiechehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847043996015177460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181898885729037877.post-12518509586243645472011-08-19T16:55:27.601-07:002011-08-19T16:55:27.601-07:00I don't think we should hold it against Ms. Ne...I don't think we should hold it against Ms. Newman that she was inspired by NYT. She was, and that fact can:t be changed. It sounds to me like she instantly grasped the beauty of riding a bike in her city and through her article has exposed her new truths to countless others. No better inspiration for another car driver to give up their death monster. We are all at different places in our bike lives, and maybe now she will have the opportunity to learn about all the bike culture happening right here.Ramona Wheelrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060065042602126897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181898885729037877.post-45860203190110725882011-08-19T13:16:29.540-07:002011-08-19T13:16:29.540-07:00I agree.

However, I wouldn't worry so much where the inspiration came from to try the two-wheel lifestyle. Yes, there's plenty going on right around us every day, but sometimes we take more notice of things when they come from far away.Joresnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181898885729037877.post-6457334321511584812011-08-19T12:24:00.145-07:002011-08-19T12:24:00.145-07:00Perhaps Ms. Newman does not co-mingle and mistakes...Perhaps Ms. Newman does not co-mingle and mistakes her single experience for the rest of us. Let's see, she could ride Butter Lap or CM or SFBP or Market St. and see how wrong she is. Then she could write an article based in the reality of San Francisco. Perhaps she could come ride with our dreadlocked/fashionable/single speed/Dutch/music trike crowd and have her horizons expanded a bit!Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.com
