Anyone can participate, you can submit art work and/or help distribute. Papergirl is distributed like a newspaper, but consists of original artwork rolled in a tube. You submit artwork in person or via mail, we have a show, we roll the artwork in to tubes, we get together...

The handlebar can lock into position for riding as normal, then unlocked to aid your legs and/or get an upper body workout.

Is Columbus doing enough to promote cycling as an alternative form of transportation? Is Columbus doing enough to make you feel safe riding your bike to and from work, the store or just around town? Is there enough infrastructure to get you to where you want to go and back? What works? What doesn't work? What would YOU like to see happen...faster? Discuss.

BY  ELLY BLUE 11 APR 2011 10:34  Portland businesses are lining up to have car parking replaced with bike parking corrals. Photo: Kevin Buchanan This is the fourth column in a  series  focusing on the economics of bicycling.  Bicycling and driving have one thing in common that is almost universally frustrating, time consuming, friction causing, and potentially expensive. Parking. No matter how seamless your ride across town, no matter how well-timed the traffic lights or low-conflict the bike lanes, it's all pointless if when you arrive at work, or the store, or the music venue or party, and have nowhere to put your ride.

Hardwearing, comfortable, tough and honest. A rugged pant designed to work (and look good working) in a wide variety of situations.  The Workwear Pants are made with our Doubleweave Canvas, the strongest and most durable of our fabrics. It's got a Cordora grade nylon exterior, yet the interior is brushed soft with a great breathability making it incredibly comfortable. The canvas face drapes well and has a great dullness. That basically means this is a really good looking fabric, you can pull it off in the office, yet it performs well enough to take to the backcountry.  Wear these 360 days a year. Day in and day out they hold up strong and stay surprisingly clean. The gusseted crotch, curved waistband and parabolic sideseam ensure they move as well as they fit. The cut is true to size and a medium lean in the leg. If you own a pair of iteration one Workwears please note that this version fits about a half size smaller and has a shorter crotch rise. When first putting on th...
