on May 19, 09 at 10:05 PM As I started to think about it I realize now that there is great wonders to be found when you travel through life on a bicycle, there are many things that would otherwise be lost and forgotten, passed up as so many things are when traveling in a car going 55.
It is not only in the benefits to the environment that each grows and becomes better through but it is also in the health benefits gained through that specific journey. Extending life by taking life at a different pace, through human power. There are some who realise that in example this quote from New York Times;
Residents of this upscale community are suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before: they have given up their cars.

While the Web-based cycling community was all a-Twitter over the recent theft and return of Lance Armstrong's time trial bike, another cyclist has suffered a bigger loss of personal property, but did not discover it until he returned from the recent Amgen Tour of California.
Salt Lake City Police have issued an appeal for the public's help in recovering items stolen in a burglary at the home of Garmin-Slipstream’s David Zabriskie.
According to police, the break-in occurred while Zabriskie was in California for the recent Amgen Tour.
Police also issued a partial list of items stolen and asked for help in their recovery, particularly if any turn up in local pawnshops or on eBay.
Among those items stolen from Zabriskie’s home are:
• Black 2008 Subaru Outback, Utah plate A189NC
• Black 2006 Toyota Scion, Utah plate 094VWM
• Giro D Italia Race Medal (approx. 6" circumference)
• Olympic Seiko watch
• Beijing Olympic ring (silver) with initials "DZ" engraved ($4,000)
• Olympic Time Trial Bike, plus 12 other bikes (combined value of $100,000)
• Cervelo (black/red) bike frame - team issued ($5000)
• Tag Heuer watch ($6,000)
• Bose Speaker/Receiver System ($15,000)
• Sony 52" flat screen TV ($4,000)
• Two Mac Books and one Mac desktop, plus hard drive ($8,000)
• A pair of Space legs, a recovery compression system for legs ($5,000)
• 7 Marvel sideshow statues ($11,000)
According to police, the Marvel sideshow statues are distinctive in that they stand two- to three feet tall and are very heavy. The stolen statues were of: "Hellboy" pistol figurine, "Ash"Army of Darkness, "Tomb Raider" Lara Croft, "The Punisher," "Alien," "Ironman" Limited Edition, and a "Gears of War" character.
Anyone with any information on this burglary or the location of the items is asked to call the Tips for Cash line at 799-INFO (4636). Please reference case #09-32767.
The thief cut the padlock on Armstrong's Team Astana trailer parked in an alley on L Street between 15th and 16th streets some time between 8 p.m. Saturday and 6:30 a.m. Sunday, Sacramento Police Sgt. Norm Leong said. Of the 26 bikes parked inside, the thief or thieves grabbed the first four they could reach, including Armstrong's bike and three others belonging to teammates, Leong said.

Updated: A total of four bikes were stolen from the Astana Team Trailor, parked in an alley before Stage 1 of the Amgen Tour of California Begin this morning, thieves break a padlock and take the first four. Does it seem like it was planned or just a chance occurence?
Why would someone steal a time trial bike from Amgen? Not to mention there was other thefts there at the event, with Lance Armstrong returning back to the mix, what will it look like before it is over? Get the word out about the bike, a reward is offered and charma will most certainly bite back.
Such a sad story, but guess it can also say why it is important to keep your bike secure, even if it is at a very specific cycling event, which it's purpose is to help sufferers of cancer. Does it seem Unconsciousable to you?
Updated @ 14:02
It appears, a sacramento officer has found Lance's Bike though stripped down:
Let us hope for the sake of this tour, that is a fact, no news on the others that were stolen.Hopefully more good news coming soon. |

Another interesting ride from Monterey to Salinas, after being so fortunate, to see a part of what appeared to be a bike race %u2013 though the details are sketchy %u2013 though more research is in order. Also seeing a walk a thon that originated at Dennis the Menace Park. It did seem to be quite the day for Outdoor Activity so I was glad to have made the trip out there. An amazing ride today, not only because it was a beautiful day but the fact that I did the entire ride with only two pieces of bread with Peanut Butter on them in the morning and water for lunch, nearly running over a skunk on the way back.

To speak on riding a bike as a life choice, to progress through life on two wheels and travelling by Human Power. It is surely the most exciting way to move, improving your health and improving the environment. So why is it so many still drive cars?
