Sunday-Morning bicycling music II

Image from Copenhagen Cycle Chic.

"I Love Watching You Ride Your Bicycle," The End of Science. First I've heard of them, too. But a pretty good post-rock song, if you're into that sort of thing. And hey: it's a free and legal download, too.

Also via Copenhagen Cycle Chic: From somewhere in India, this remarkably-composed picture by Flickr user Meanest Indian:

For lovers of images of a truly bike-friendly place, Copenhagen Cycle Chic is the place to visit--it will make one wistful and/or check travel package costs on Expedia. Very true: Copenhagen is even further away from Wichita in terms of its cycling culture than it is geographically. Looking at that blog, for your correspondent, is somewhat akin to Moses' getting to look at but not actually enter the Promised Land. But he envisions a future for Wichita when at least some sections of the city (parts of downtown, for example?) could kinda sorta look like that faraway place.

Bosques de mi mente, "Los titanicos esfuerzos de una bicicleta oxidada por avanzar" ("A Rusty Bicycle's Titanic Efforts to Move Forward").

If you like this, you'll like all of Bosques de mi mente's work (the name, by the way, means "Forests of My Mind"). . . and, even better for you, it's all available for free. You can find it either at his website or at Last.fm.

Something more serious now . . . The Wichita Downtown Development Corporation has just received funding from the city council to support its development of a master plan for the urban core and has a site called Momentum where it is posting info and soliciting input from citizens regarding their vision of downtown. I just wrote them a long-winded letter in which I expressed my desire that they envision their residents as not just sleeping there or being entertained there but as genuinely living there and so should make the area more alt-transportation friendly and see about recruiting a large full-service grocery store or a couple of smaller ones along those same lines. I hope you'll visit their site as well and write them as the spirit moves you.
