Hey Ho MEXICO!

Short animation - Por mi ciudad en bicicleta

This short animation from Mexico (only 1 minute - watch it!) has been making its way around the interwebz today (thanks to CYLRAB for sharing). I love it!



Very clever and simple but beautiful animation that represents how all of us, no matter what type of person, feel when we bike from here to there everyday, and reiterates what we as cyclists all know, that cycling for transportation is healthier, more fun, better for our cities, better for us and the planet.

Happy Friday!

Vive la France! ¡Que Viva Mexico! Long Live Ireland!

MissionMission reader Andy B. has been ready all morning to watch to much-anticipated match between Mexico and France:

It was pretty damn hilarious biking down Mission Street this morning, documenting my friend’s rather bold display of patriotisme prior to the Mexico/France World Cup match. We saw lots of smiles and heard lots of honks and shouts of ¡Viva Mexico!


Meli sent me this blogpost from MissionMission just now and it kind of reminds me of the madness that I was up to today (though I didn't parade through the Mission or Sunset Districts, just in the FiDi). I also didn't watch the game at a French bar, and found myself surrounded by Mexico fans. Je ne vois pas de problème! I think we can all just get along, non?


Look - France is sucking couilles during this Cup, but there's nothing wrong with supporting your team. It's a sport, and I know a lot of people have been killed because of it, wars have broken out and a lot of nationalistic/racist attitudes are displayed, but this brave soul's love for his team, as he rides peacefully, almost humorously down Mission Street wearing his team's colors, does not seem offensive or asking for trouble to me.

He's riding his BIKE (ouais!), waving the tricolor flag with smile on his face, and excited for his team. C'est tout!

So lighten up folks, pop open a cervezita and enjoy the Beautiful Game.
