Summer isn't over yet. One of the highlights of the biking calendar is the Velomutation party and this year there's an array of twisted bc cycle happenings taking place over the 4-day period.

Friday's Critical Mass was overshadowed by the news that morning that a cyclist was killed on Clark Drive. The cyclist was hit by a semi-trailer truck and died before reaching hospital.

Delta Council are not happy with the Gateway Project.

The Canadian oil sands are exacting a heavy toll on local populations and the environment

What a ride! Bike Month Critical Mass 2006 was getting up near the 2000 riders mark.

Lots of coverage of the World Naked Bike Ride this year...

When Colin Angus rolls into Vancouver on 20th May he is destined to become the first person in history to circle the globe using only human power.

Every now and then we hear that the era of cheap oil is over. But what is the definition of "cheap" and when is it "over"? I don't have the answers to these questions, but in the last year I can see that there are many more cyclists on the roads and it probably isn't just because there's new bike lanes opening. If oil keeps going up, change will happen... quickly.

Oil is in the mid $60 range as I write - what will it be like when/if it hits $100? Putting aside the important environmental arguments for a moment, where is the tipping point?

In September 2005, CIBC World Markets said it expects to see $100 a barrel of oil "sooner rather than later." It predicts that oil prices will average $93 a barrel in 2007, and hit $100 a barrel by the end of the year. Can we sustain that?

I just picked up an old Wired magazine from Dec 2004 that was lying around and discovered this article I can't believe I didn't read the first time round.
