You had a great July 4th weekend. You rode your bike around the excellent and happily empty city streets of San Francisco, since tens of thousands of people left town during the holiday weekend. You've thanked your lucky stars for the invention of corn on the cob. Now it is time to go back to work and to make your summer bike commute through the city even more enjoyable. Step 1: Download the PDF of the latest issue of Urban Velo magazine. Step 2: Read about people like you who love riding their bikes in city environments. The PDF is a scan of the exact magazine. Stop by the shop and check out the printed magazine, which should be available in a few days. Suggestion: Read Urban Velo #8 from cover to cover. You are not going to get any real work done until tomorrow anyway.
(Yes, Wheelgirl does have an ad in Urban Velo reminding people that there are only 25 days left to submit a winning design to the Wheelgirl 2008 T-Shirt Design Contest and win a set of Phil Wood track hubs. You got skeeels? Bring home the Phils.)
