MYSTERY PHOTO QUIZ – WHERE IS THIS ?
November 5, 2011..and the winners are >
Keihly Moore and Randy Godfrey
Congratulations! You correctly identified the location as Caribou Coffee on East Blvd. near Scott Ave! Keihly tells us she is a grad student at UNCC in urban design, and a loyal CABA volunteer, and Randy tells us he hangs out with the Critical Mass gang of single-speed social deviants (well, not exactly).
Not only do you receive a FREE 1-year membership card, but you will also receive a FREE set of perma-frozen caribou antlers and a FREE year’s supply of stale coffee grinds. Who could ask for anything more ?
You also get 10% discounts at 14 area bike shops and the feel-good pride that you are supporting the cause of safe and healthy cycling for young and old alike in metro Charlotte.
Stay tuned. We will have another quiz next week !
Thanks to Ilan Paltrow and the folks at Bicycle Sport for being good corporate citizens !

IN MEMORIAM: STEVE JOBS
October 15, 2011Take a few minutes
View this YouTube video..
…then pass it on.
A brilliant analogy – presenting the thesis that “the computer is the bicycle for our minds“.
A younger Steve Jobs speaks on memory and the imagination for a Library of Congress documentary
Thank you to Treehugger online and others for letting us know.
And his more recent comments at the commencement exercises of Stanford University:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
* * *
Steve Jobs’ inventive genius, commitment and profound passion to causes larger than himself will be sorely missed.
