The lead-in story for the 700 Club last night was useful information about how to save money by bicycling to work! In their online edition they don't link to Cyclelicious, but they do link to Bicycling Life, the League of American Bicyclists, and the late Ken Kifer's bike pages. That's the Good News for today, folks. Thank you to Eric R for the pointer. Go visit Eric's Cycling Shots site when you have a chance.

Kirsten Gum non-nude
Kirsten Gum has gotten extremely popular lately, I presume because of her new show on the Travel Channel.
Kirsten Gum? Masiguy says a lot of people visit his site looking for naked photos of him with sportscaster-hottie Kirsten Gum. Click here for the nasty details. *pause* -- Back to the action: Made you look! But I have some pictures of pretty girls on bicycles here if you want to look.
If you're really desperate, here's the comprehensive list of links to all things Kirsten Gum.

Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness designation
In Federal legislation proposed by Colorado Representative Mark Udal and Colorado Senator Ken Salazar, 250,000 acres of Rocky Mountain National Park will be designated as Federal Wilderness Areas, meaning mountain biking would be completely banned within the park boundaries. But after negotiations between the National Park Service, the Wilderness Society, the Headwaters Trail Alliance and the International Mountain Bicycling Assocations, the bill was revised to exclude the East Shore Trail, a 6 1/2 mile route that runs south from Grand Lake along the western edge of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Although mountain bikes are not currently allowed on RMNP trails, Park Service rules do allow for the possibility of mountain bikes. The IMBA has been working with local, state, and federal agencies for a bike trail connecting the villages of Grand Lake and Granby, and the East Shore Trail is the option most people are talking about.

Cyclelicious mentioned in Wall Street Journal
Woo hoo! Rich Layman just told me that Cyclelicious was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal last Friday in an article about fixed gear bikes:
Update: Graham at GoClipless mentioned this article and he has a link to the full article. I emailed the article author, Hannah Karp, and she told me that she found Cyclelicious after searching for web pages about the hazards of fixed gear bikes. If it bleeds, it leads.
Fixedgeargallery and sheldonbrown are excellent company! Subscription is required to read the full article.'Look Ma, No Brakes'By Hannah Karp
Forget about 28-speed mountain bikes, cruisers with huge seats or $3,500 bicycles that shift gears automatically. Cyclists seeking an adrenaline boost on their commute are increasingly climbing onto a model straight out of the 19th century: a bike that has just one gear, can't coast and often lacks a feature prized by most cyclists and law-enforcement officials -- brakes.Taking a cue from velodrome racers and city bike messengers, a growing number of riders are buying so-called fixed-gear bikes. Unlike standard 18- or 21-speeds, fixed-gear models have pedals chained directly to the rear wheel so that whenever the wheel spins, ...
Sites including fixedgeargallery.com, cyclelicio.us and Sheldonbrown.com contain tales of stuck digits, even pictures of severed fingers.

Motorcycles in the bicycle lane?
The Motorcycle Riders Association of Australia (MRAA) wants the law changed to allow motorcycles and scooters to ride slowly in bicycle lanes. Read more here.
Spinopsys and commentors have a few words about this idea.

Independence is riding a bike
I'm busy this week. Visit Flickr to see what I'm up to a thousand words at a time.
For bikey stuff:
There are several other great blogs covering the TdF and other cycling news, I know, but the coffee shop I'm at closes in 20 minutes and then I'm off for some barbeque and then some fireworks.
For my US readers, I hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July Independence Day holiday.
For bikey stuff:
- Wheels of Justice is an Australian cycling advocacy site.
- You probably have your favorite Tour de France resources, but a couple of the blogs covering the Tour are Cycloblog and TDFBlog.
