Stuff to Love

The revolution seems so entrenched in today’s culture  it’s {almost} becoming part of everyday conversation [or argument because there are still jack-dicks intent on fighting for territory. bring it! ]. If you missed the front page of the SUNDAY LA Times click the photo below to read the article.

Blinded by a deep and long involvement in the cycling community it’s easy to lose track of the transformational dynamic that’s hacked into the culture.  After reading the article it hit me; cycling, in all its manifestations and innocence, is bringing on the revolution that will ultimately undermine the hegemony the automobile has enjoyed in its power to define the American urban landscape and shape it into a more liveable, community centric, environment.  It’s gonna be something like a bent out utopian ideal.  I believe in the automobile and it will continue to play a part in the scenario we call modern civilization, however, its time has come as a definitive force and the urban landscape can get on with becoming more human again {or has it ever been}.
