Club,<br><br>Soon, announcements of news features and news articles will appear on the same email as the Ride Calendar.  Until that time I will notify you of news updates.<br><br>I decided to open with a PROVOCATIVE essay entitled:<br>
<br>&quot;John Forrester is Dead: Cycling Advocacy and the Post-Urban Renaissance.&quot;<br><br>The teaser should whet your appetite.  I basically argue that the radical purist notion of vehicular cycling 
(to which I formerly adhered) does not look like anything happening in 
the post-urban Renaissance cities that are transforming the American 
cycling landscape.  Those who say we &quot;aren&#39;t Amsterdam&quot; need to look at 
the street parties, eventing, reformed Critical Mass, sharrows, contra-lanes, segregated paths, and 
radical designs and events that are turning anti-cycling stalwarts like 
New York, L.A., and Chicago into driving machines of transformation.  (FYI--John Forrester is the godfather of vehicular cycling).<br>
