MOR

 A call to arms for cyclists from the London Cyclist. The points are pertinent for the rest of us as well. I hate the cyclists who jump red lights and cycle on the pavement (okay, I'll mount the kerb- very rarely and only when there are no pedestrians to harrass or the planners have put the cycle racks a silly distance from the road) because they give the rest of us a bad image.

Caissons

 Historians are gently drying out and preseving a wooden beam washed ashore from an important piece of War of Independence architecture. A wooden bridge built across Lake Champlain linked Fort Ticonderoga in New York and Mount Independence in Vermont. It allowed thousands of American soldiers to escape when the British took Ticonderoga so they could fight again in the Battle of Saratoge.

Last Friday of the Month

 Still We Ride, a documentary about the mass arrests of cyclists at last August's New York Critical Mass (the one that coincided with the Republican convention). The film's premiere will be at the very cool sounding Bicycle Film Festival.

Politics for the People

 Sixty one new political parties were registered in 2004. Mostly it's a rise in single issue groups, with only the occasional Veritas in there.
