The <a href="http://www.sbbike.org/QR/2009/0907/0907.html">2009 survey</a> was just completed on June 18, and it tells us that bicycling is increasing significantly:<ul><li style="font-weight: bold;" class="bullet">Compared with four prior years, bicycling has increased by 16%</li><li class="bullet">3,861 people on bicycles were counted at 25 intersections this year</li><li class="bullet">13,356 people were counted over four prior years at those same 25 intersections—an average of 3,339 per year</li><li class="bullet">21 of 25 major intersections had an increase or no change.</li></ul>All across the country, communities are reporting increases in the number of people bicycling. Several factors have been ascribed to the change in behavior—the higher cost of gasoline, the recession, an increasing awareness of emission-caused climate change, and a quest for fitness.<br /><br />Add in increased <a href="http://www.trafficsolutions.info/biking.htm">government</a> and <a href="http://www.sbbikestogo.com">business</a> efforts to encourage sustainable transportation, plus <a href="http://www.cecsb.org/">community</a> and <a href="http://www.sbbike.org/">advocacy groups</a> and we'll have a revolutionary behavior shift.Santa Barbara Bikes To-Gohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04265446472824931518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234175560461563757.post-81696312572914129562009-06-24T11:49:00.000-07:002009-06-24T13:50:31.085-07:00Become the path<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Buddah</span> says, "You cannot travel on a path until you become the path itself."<br /><br />And that's just what inventors of the concept <a href="http://www.lightlanebike.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">LightLane</span></a> have taken into their own hands.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lightlanebike.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">LightLane</span></a> was originally created for a "commuter bike for the masses" <a href="http://bicycledesign.blogspot.com/2008/10/commuter-bike-for-masses-design.html">design competition</a>. <a href="http://bicycledesign.blogspot.com/2008/10/commuter-bike-for-masses-design.html" target="_blank"><strong></strong></a>Even though the concept did not win, the response was overwhelming, encouraging the inventors (one is a mechanical engineer and the other an industrial designer) to continue development.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.lightlanebike.com/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9yflY99az-Fl7SDJgE_-DyB-qXrq9Gu5V9e0kW4XDSM1a412TiavclunkEX-wRYAjR53bQEGXAkNtoZ1WC8O90DNXTItv8xs7a_u98v4vhHPtvTq5IZd7hqIeh54nZIh4bfETJX-KBMQ/s400/HomePageImage_05.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350996086100676594" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.lightlanebike.com/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijw5UCGJHVmYiaZtSitICWk9nGgUy9JH9Ry7jsJUpd1IUnmp0rjg2-TYz-XCixBX4sheJWYjL9xmXQd0UOuCgCnIy1gt9zxh5p32LvM9ED7vpKxHrIBb7iWqch1ITw8u-8nR6bptfoDlY/s320/LightLane.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350995588289560802" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoWTRiwQD-fIZTYuBpw209O1rqiUkxXi6m-tIXkZdLNoGTATw9NAOdPbMe52seORe4EWmI7kRyx3FWX6oMJxwhSXST6w64cDqEtquVW0zuCD6_iwggEG31JQr634FP7LIbYr16fSh_UaE/s1600-h/08.jpg"> </a><a href="http://www.lightlanebike.com/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoWTRiwQD-fIZTYuBpw209O1rqiUkxXi6m-tIXkZdLNoGTATw9NAOdPbMe52seORe4EWmI7kRyx3FWX6oMJxwhSXST6w64cDqEtquVW0zuCD6_iwggEG31JQr634FP7LIbYr16fSh_UaE/s320/08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350996282187244978" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">LightLane</span> uses high powered laser beams mounted to bicycle seat posts.
