Yes, I didn’t stop. Which is illegal. Which can be, very, very unsafe. Which can draw the ire of other cyclist. But, after 10 years in San Diego, I can tell you, is not a matter of convenience, or lazy, as some would attribute, but sometimes a very, very real survival skill. Irregardless, it’s against the law. In some states it’s legal, and there’s a ton of debate on if should be, or should not be. The key factor is how to apply common sense to a decision factor that has the potential for very one sided collision out come. But, I didn’t stop.

Without ear phones, a song plays — perhaps a radio, or a car — Dire Straits: “Your Latest Trick,” a classic rock tune from the 80s. Something about taxis only [...]

The Alliance for Biking and Walking recently released a 2010 Benchmarking Report in order to measure the progress of efforts on bicycling and walking in the U.S. The overall conclusion of the report is that bicyclists and pedestrians receive a pitiful share (1.2%) of transportation dollars and yet, are at a much larger risk on [...]

Shortly after Bike San Diego was launched we did a profile of one of the co-founders of San Diego’s only bicycle delivery service. Since the profile was run when our site was still in its infancy, we thought we’d run an update on Manivela Food Delivery to introduce some of our newer readers to Manivela. [...]
