From the mailbag: A new framebuilder opening up shop in Columbus
My name is Adam. I run a bike based website right now here in Columbus. Stanridgespeed.com. Just wanted to let you know I quit my full time job recently and am headed out to Oregon to NBI to learn frame brazing. I have a pretty knowledgeable background when it comes to mechanics having worked on a SCCA racing team.
In February I will launch a new website and begin running my own handmade bike company here in the city with the hopes of having 5 complete frames and two complete bikes in the late spring of 09. I'm really excited and am following my passion. I'm not going to get rich however, I'll be happy as hell! I'll keep you posted!
Thanks Ray,
Adam Eldridge

Bike the C-Bus is scheduled for August 23 - Updates
We should have updated brochure for the ride later this week. The route has been updated and it should be available on the website for download later today. We have added some sponsors as well. Check out the website, www.bikethecbus.com for more details.
We are still looking for sponsors. Rest stop sponsors, paid sponsors and in-kind services are needed to make the ride successful. I hope everybody can come out and ride as well.
If you haven't joined Consider Biking you may want to consider riding the Bike the C-Bus. Why do I say that? Because with your ride registration fee you get a $15 dollar day of discount toward a Consider Biking membership. Check out their site for more details, www.considerbiking.org
A coupon is on Bike the C-Bus website that gives a FREE child's registration with a paid adult registration. Again, check out our site.
Thanks

Legally Speaking with Bob Mionske - When justice fails
Nineteen-year-old Autumn Grohowski was on her cell phone with her dad, just letting him know she would be home soon. It was June, a summer night in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and Autumn was approaching the trail she would take home. She was on her bike, and mindful of her safety, so she kept the call short — she told her dad “I don’t want to be killed by a car, so I don’t want to talk on the phone on the way home.”
Those were her last words.
