!!!Court Win for Cyclists!!!

Well, it looks like there is some justice in the world when it comes to motorists and cyclists. No justice for Ed Weiss, no justice for Kristy Gough and Matt Peterson, and so on. It's been sitting like a malaise on the cycling community, but the LA case will hopefully set a precedent that cyclists are not just obstacles to be run over by drivers crossing the center line (frequently double yellow), falling asleep behind the wheel,texting/talking on their cell phone, drunk, or just plain upset at cyclists and the world in general.

Mines Rd Ride Sat Oct 31st

All,

I'll be riding Mines Rd to the Junction Cafe and back tomorrow, Oct 31st. Distance is about 56 miles

Meet 9:30 at the roadside pullouts just past the entrance to Joan's Farm. (See: http://www.joansfarm.com/). (Joan requests that we don't use the pullouts before the entrance, since it leads folks to park in the wrong place and cut across her field.) This sounds complicated, but the road is desolate, and you'll see our cars easily (one is a large green Honda Element).

The ride starts and ends at a pumpkin patch, so anyone lagging in holiday decor can get their carve on afterwards.

See you there. Jenn: 510-861-6654

ALERT!! Bike Thief Targets Peet's...

ALERT!!! There have been reported bike thefts at Danville Peet’s and the Peet’s on Domingo Ave. in Berkeley (across from the Clairmont hotel). These are common stops/meeting points for East Bay rides, so please take caution. This is what is known so far:

• The guy knows what he’s looking for…and he’s targeting high end bikes
• Sometimes he’s wearing cycling clothes, sometimes not
• He grabs the bikes and rides them away
• The thefts are happening on Saturdays/Sundays (when lots of cyclists are around…and lots of high end bikes)
• It’s apparently the same guy hitting both Peet’s locations (and maybe more, who knows?)
