Our Bike Gang

Give me a few weeks to work out the kinks and actually figure out how to work this site. Until then, this picture (compliments of Nita's Flikr site, see comments below) will have to do. We changed the name to The Bike Cave too (also compliments of Nita).

Reasons to Ride

I found some really cool quotes that I think are pretty inspirational and true.  Here's a selection:

The bicycle is a curious vehicle.  It's passenger is its engine.

-John Howard

The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man.  Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish.  Only the bicycle remains pure at heart.  

-Iris Murdoch

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for future of the human race.

-H.G. Wells

Get a bicycle.  You will not regret it, if you live.

-Mark Twain

Craig's Garage/Thursday Night Rides

Hey all, this is the  new blog for the tenatively, but possibly permanently titled Craig's Garage.  (Any ideas for a different name are more than welcomed.)  We're just a group of people that wanted to get together and make an impact on the community around us.  We do this by choosing to bike instead of drive as often as we can.  We at the Garage are also looking for cheap, but preferably free bikes to strip down, fix up, and get back on the road.  If you're in need of a bike, we'd love to help you out in anyway we can.  Money doesn't grow on trees though, so a donation (bikes, money, beer, etc.) is certainly welcomed.  Welp, that's all we've got for now folks.  Don't fret, there's much more info and hopefully some group photos to come.  If you live in Columbus, IN, or the surrounding area, we meet every Thursday (pending rain) at 7:00PM at the Library (5th and Franklin, downtown).
