| 11th January 2006 Rebecca | That IS good news - From: Good News Thank you for the speedy update. Best wishes for Jennifer's recovery and a healthy and full-term pregnancy. Bed rest sucks, though -- get her hooked up with internet access in bed so she can find support from other moms in similar circumstances. |

| 30th November 2005 Robert Alexander | Interesting writing - From: My First Ride Interesting writing and reading. |
| 17th November 2005 kathryn | back to the earth - From: Singlespeed Ahead congratulations on becoming one with your 1-speed. that's awesome. thanks for the read...i'm currently living a bikeless life abroad and it made me wanna get back to my (18-speed. oops.) beloved 2-wheeled friend... |
| 15th November 2005 Clare and Vernon | Yeah, but it's not a fixie :) - From: Singlespeed Ahead Sorry, couldn't resist it! |
| 6th October 2005 Organ Donor | Message received - From: Whadaya Call A Bicyclist Without A Helmet? Alright, already. I guess you've been watching me ride this last month! Who told? |
| 6th October 2005 jk | Wow. - From: Whadaya Call A Bicyclist Without A Helmet? What an extreme take on not wearing a helmet. |
| 6th October 2005 Rebecca | All too familiar. - From: Whadaya Call A Bicyclist Without A Helmet? Believe it or not, you've just described my husband. He bikes a lot with our 3yo. Son is always helmeted, hubby never is. I attribute it to machismo, or perhaps a deep-seated death wish. I'm going to send him the link to this blog entry. Perhaps he'll listen to a fellow former military guy. |
| 6th October 2005 anonymous | - From: Whadaya Call A Bicyclist Without A Helmet? You seem to know so much about single parenthood, you're obviously very experienced in this matter. How about you stick to what you know before you go on about single parents hitting the bottle... and if this is a speech from personal experience, I'm sorry to say not everyone has it so bad, don't assume they do. |
| 5th October 2005 George Z. | Everyday biking - From: Dimming Mornings If you gave up biking way back in grade school and on occasion considered taking it up again but a busy life style and work and family obligations kept you from it,take the plunge.A must first step,-buy a new bike.Don't even consider your 10-15 year old beater with the drop-down handlebars.A new bike makes it easier to ignore a sore butt and creeping discourigement on your first few foreys out.Clearing the mental hurdle of resistance, self-doubt ,and endless supply of excuses comes at different times for everybody. Then suddenly you realize that you actually look forward to your next ride,maybe even commute to work now and then on nice days. Virtually no one who ever added biking to his or her routine wish they hadn't.More than likely you will curtail other activities to fit more ciclyng in.It is a cliche,but it's worth using it.You'll wonder why you didn't start years earlier. |
| 25th August 2005 Karen | Mom - From: Brainwashed By Ranger Rick I just shared this with the editor of our church nesletter |
| 25th August 2005 Karen | Mom - From: The Occasional Community What beautiful writing, almost poetic. Please writemore |
| 25th August 2005 Mom | You are a poet - From: The Occasional Community |
| 6th August 2005 pc | oil addicts - From: Oil Addicts Anonymous Then war is alright as long as we have no interests in the resourses in the country. That's BS and you know it. It's just a brutal reality that we have to protect the things that keep our society alive, otherwise we'll soon be living in caves. |
| 27th June 2005 gofolk123 | "brainwashed" a bit harsh? - From: Brainwashed By Ranger Rick Clearly you are entitled to your opinion, but to attack a tiny raccoon who is only trying to instill basic principles into small children in hopes of preserving nature might be a radical move. Obviously you have proven to heed the important messages supplied in each Ranger Rick issue. (An avid reader I can tell.) However, before you can tackle the problems of the entire Earth, you have to focus on the problems you as an individual can actually do something about. How many children do you know that can grasp the concept of every continent's, every nation's, every country's, every city's, or every person's problems. Not many. Children are very centrally focused. They tend not to develop abstract thought until late adolescence or early adulthood. If Ranger Rick, who has clearly proven to be an influential force among children (including yourself at one time), can get his simple messages across than let him be. Let the children worry about how to better their neighborhood and the adults to tackle larger problems. If Ranger Rick hadn't brought the basic problems of littering and conserving our planet to your attention when you were a young child, then do you honestly think you would be worried today about depletion of our natural resources or the quality of air in China? Probably not. So, to claim a tiny racoon by the name of Ranger Rick had in some way "brainwashed" you is quite possibly the most assanine comment I have heard in all my 47 years as a US Park Ranger and nature conservationalist. If this is the case, then I will need to make some calls and have my grandchildren removed from public schools. Heaven forbid they may learn that social studies, algebra, and the absolute worst - littering, will lead to their ultimate demise. |
| 18th September 2004 anonymous | - From: 499,800 Peace Marchers NOT Arrested Sorry I keep hitting the wrong button and sending comments before they are finished! I was curious about the choice of words you used when you wrote "a couple of queer clowns headed out to the street:. . . queer as in homosexual? Queer as in odd? Queer clowns as a bad thing?? Chris |

| 13th April 2004 anonymous | They Gave You Your Freedom! - From: A Wet One Did you ever think that the reason we honor our men and women who served our country, is because they gave us our freedom. If they had not served, you would be a Britton or a possibly a citizen of some other reigning power. Personally I am proud to be an American and I thank those who had to give up thier lives and those who were lucky to come home after defending our freedom. There is no other country like ours. (Besides ALL countries have thier honored dead). You should be proud to be living in the home of the brave! |
