Slow news week.

Some random stuff for a Thursday. I'm staying off the bike for a week. After busting a gut to reach 6,000km for the year, I've gone a bit stale. Might do some miles on the weekend - slowly and for fun.

• Something momentous must be afoot in the world when the Wall Street Journal recommends to American people they reconsider their relationship with the motor vehicle. Something momentous indeed.
  

• The people who did the memorable Do The Test cycle safety TV commercial have done another one, which I reckon almost tops their first effort.

• If you like quirky, you'll love Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery. There aren't many comic strips set in bike shops - this one would up there in the top ten.
  

• And Kent's post on his commute, Three Hour Tour, is a lovely piece of writing.
  

• And we all know bikes outsold cars last year. And we all know why.
  

61km so far this year.
