. . . for the light posting here of late and into the next few days. Some writing of a non-cycling-related nature has my attention just now.
I hope to return with new stuff this weekend.

Since 2008, Oh-so-gently rousing the rabble in support of a more livable Wichita
Welcome!
My commute route.
In place of a manifesto.
If you're here, you are probably at least curious about cycling; if so, I hope you'll feel that you're in the right place.
This is less a blog about reviews of equipment and practical advice on cycling than it is about my reflections on how cycling can make our city a little better for everyone, even non-cyclists. For bike-tech matters, I encourage you to visit the many fine folks linked to below in the right gutter.
I encourage all of you, but especially Wichitans, to write me with stories about your cycling experiences; with your permission, I'd like to post excerpts from them. Write me at "blogmeridian AT sbcglobal DOT net."
