  Bicyles and Transportation in General

• USA Today: A singularly intelligent article on the issue of bicylists in the U.S.
• The Bicycle News Agency
• National Bicycle Greenway
• Cycling.org Global cycling network of electronic mailing lists all over world, approximately 100 in US, including SF Critical Mass.
• PreserveNet: Transportation and Development Politics on the Internet. This web site lists groups that are helping to build more livable cities
• A fine collection of bicycle links from Dennis Dowling
• San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, the city’s grassroots bicycle coalition, including links to other sites.
• Transact. A wealth of bicycle transportation information.
  Sponsored by the EPA and Surface Transportation Policy Project “to ensure that transporation policy and investments help conserve energy, protect environmental and aesthetic quality, strengthen the economy, promote social equity, and make communities more liveable.” Sounds like a terrorist organization with anti-American values. Notify the riot squad if they ever hold a meeting in San Francisco.
  

  The Web is watching

• Wired – August 29, 1997. A sweet gift – truth – to the riders of Critical Mass on the day of the long awaited ride.

• The Examiner – August 13, 1997. Buried in the back of the paper and in the last paragraph of the report, the real story: photographer arrested while taking pictures. Another man arrested while trying to pass the camera on to the media.
• Wired – August 11, 1997
• The Examiner – August 8, 1997. The unbelievable claims of the police captured in print plus a photo we’ve had online since July 31, 1997.
