It’s the last day of Pedal Power Week on Permie.net…hope you’ve enjoyed it! I’m trying to be less of a fossil fool myself, and it’s been a helpful reminder of how many resources we have here in Sonoma County, a great place to ride your bike.

Here’s a wrap up of previous posts:

• Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition
• Modding Your Bicycle for Hauling and Carrying Cargo
• http://permie.net/2009/06/17/community-bikes-a-volunteer-run-collaborative-bike-shop/
• Pedal Power: Beyond Transportation

If you’re ready to start using your bicycle more, here are some additional resources that might help:

• BikeCommuters.com – Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition’s Links page, full of great info and helpful sites.
• Paul Dorn’s Bike Commuting Tips – advice and tips from Paul Dorn: “I commute by bike, and, for the sake of my sanity, avoid driving like the plague. The automobile is a fine thing for certain purposes, like killing wildlife, alienating people from each other, polluting and congesting urban areas, and directing huge sums of money to Exxon/Mobil and General Motors.”
• Better World Club- this environmentally friendly alternative to AAA gives me greater confidence in using my bike…their membership plans include bicycle roadside assistance!

Finally, how about a little inspiration from the Crimanimalz, a Los Angeles-area group who asks, “In a city made for cars, why are bicycles getting places faster?”

Have fun and stay safe!
