My bike has a new home & I'm headed to Barcamp 3 this weekend in la jolla

My bike has a new home (and is getting some much-needed love and investment):

Hi Colin

I stayed up till 4:30 this morning cleaning the bike. After I adjusted the seat for my height the rack no longer reached. I will most likely put it on later. I am happy with how well the bike cleaned up.

My friend Joe accompanied me as I took the bike on its first ride. Joe rode his Reynolds T-Bone. I brought my camera. We asked a woman pushing a stroller to take our picture along the North Fork Bike trail. When my sons were younger we called this the bicycle super highway. You would be happy to know that it connects the area with a dense Spanish speaking population to the areas of town with restaurants. Many of my Latino brothers use this route to commute by bicycle to work.

I am very pleased with how well the bike rides. I only fell off once (on a tight turn) but otherwise was very comfortable riding it. This afternoon I took the bike to a recumbent bike shop in Van Nuys. They will replace the rims for me and do a tuneup.

Thanks again.
Dave

And I'm catching the trolley & bus to barcamp pretty soon:

This was from:
http://www.startupsd.net/

There are already a few pc/food-related speakers there, e.g.:

This is a way of conference organizing I'm very interested in--
this style of organizing, I believe, was behind the permaculture gatherings in the east I loved so much.

If you go to add you name, look for the code at the bottom of the page.

Peace,
