January brought the "Bike Extravaganza" to Charlottesville VA which I had the pleasure of helping a bit with promoting, and doing little bit of this and that. Among all the information stations was a huge crowd of folks, from urban assault hotshots to farmers with 8 foot trailers. My photos don't show but, there were a few people from the city parks and rec crew pointing out on maps where they planed to build a commuter trail around the whole city. The Mayor was seen mingling and sampling the bicycle powered made smoothies.
