It’s common seeing “customized” signs in Detroit. Most aren’t worth commenting on. However, since it is Earth Day, I thought I’d post this one from North Corktown.

Next Detroit Alley Cat is April 20th
What the heck is an alley cat? It’s a fun, low stress, high fun urban biking challenge. It’s not something for the lycra-clad racer boy crowd. It’s a sure fire way to embrace or rediscover the simple fun of riding a bike.The last one I did started with cans of Red Bull and ended with cans of PBR. They was a whole lot of fun and mischief in the middle.
Here’s an announcement for the next Detroit alley cat:
On April 20th (4/20) at 4:20pm! This will be on a Sunday. Friends are doing this one and this is the info I have so far. This is going to be a fun race and not so much a crazy fast one! Teams of 4 so tell your friends and get your bikes ready! And yes this is the drug wars 4/20 race and frome what I know this is going to be sooper fun and a bit funny!
Normally they start at Hart Plaza. You can watch their myspace page for additional updates.

Blindness is relative
While walking to the grocery store last week I passed blind woman and her dog heading the opposite direction. We both exchanged greetings and continued on our way. This was a welcomed contrast to the more commonly sighted pedestrian with an iPod who’s rather oblivious to their surroundings.

Two Wheel Revolution
Thanks to metromode for writing about cycling in Metro Detroit. As I told my friends, I don’t normally ride in baggy hiking pants, but it had rained the night before and my cycling tights were still damp. I was wearing my Patagonia Windshield top, which was a great choice for the balmy Michigan winter weather.I’m “practically evangelical when it comes to cycling?” What does it take to become “full-on evangelical?”

www.AllYearGear.com release 4.0
Yes, it’s long overdue: www.AllYearGear.com version 4.0. The original version launched around 1997 or 1998 and was not much more than a basic Microsoft Publisher web site wrapped around some race reports. 2.0 in 2000 was a very simple Dreamweaver site. 2002 saw was a major overhaul which added photo gallery and a fancy Java applet main menu (which the search engines apparently didn’t like.)
This new version is based on a custom WordPress theme and (soon) Gallery 2.0. Over the next few weeks I hope to get all the old race reports and photos moved over to this site.
