As a father of two young boys, a librarian, a cyclist and a book-lover, I give this article two enthusiastic thumbs up!<br /><br /><em>Super Grandpa</em> is one of my favorite childrens' books. Another of my favorites that features bike-commuting French mice is <em>Anatole</em> by Eve Titus.GhostRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987949431503645433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-58247843543098794482009-11-10T14:27:15.464-08:002009-11-10T14:27:15.464-08:00Nice entry!

But I have done some teaching at the local college and have encountered what this other prof is talking about in the article below, about incivility. I wonder what can we do about it?<br /><br />This should have as wide an audience as possible.<br />http://chronicle.com/article/Remedial-Civility-Training/46532<br /><br />"But, more and more, I think the student culture of incivility is a larger impediment to their success than anything they might fail to learn about Western civilization or whatever it is I am teaching."JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-58009998751078494042009-11-10T05:47:50.089-08:002009-11-10T05:47:50.089-08:00Hey Kent,

Some of the airlines are charging upwards of $200 to transport a bike - $175 on United.<br /><br />BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963284276467415798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-68216827225402710972009-11-09T11:51:06.703-08:002009-11-09T11:51:06.703-08:00re: super grandpa.

I have not confirmed this by checking the original research, but I've just finished reading "born to run", in which it was stated that although endurance runners peak at about 27 years old, a 64 year-old can run as fast and far (endurance running wise) as a 19 year-old. Super Grandpa indeed!jqfredericknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-42697245200053120822009-11-09T11:49:12.197-08:002009-11-09T11:49:12.197-08:00I'm sure Dudley practiced, and Ralph spent his...I'm sure Dudley practiced, and Ralph spent his time training... <br /><br />Looks like Dudley is running some rando kit, comfy clothes, flat pedals(or at least walkable recessed cleats), small frame bag, lights and full fenders, with a more upright position for comfort over the long haul.<br /><br />And we all know that some wide tires roll faster than those skinny high pressure ones. He's probably running some 650 Grand Bois Hetre tires he had his dad order after reading back issues of BQ at the library...<br /><br /><br />(and, funny, the word verification for this comment was 'amble')mikehttp://www.littlecirclesvt.comnoreply@blogger.com
