These are just some pictures of my 2007 Ford Focus that I just bought recently. Yes, I will still be riding my bike to work most of the time, but with the new car, I most definitely be driving more.

BIcycle commute to work week

This past week, I had the chance to attend a community-wide bicycle expo at the Holland Civic Center where the advantages of commuting to work by biking were discussed. While there, I had a chance to visit some of the tables set up there by the local bike shops. Each brought a sample of some of the products that are sold at their particular shop. I even had a chance to try riding a recumbent trike. That was interesting to ride at the expo, but for my kind of riding, I would rather stay with my upright bike. The trike was just too low to the ground to be visible in traffic.
The benefits of biking to work include better health, easier on the wallet, and the environmental benefits.
The League of Michigan Bicyclists website has some great tips for bicycle commuting to work.

Another day riding my bike to work

This is another one of my videos I took while riding home from work. It was quite a nice and sunny day, so I thought that I would take a ride through the Hope College campus.

Driving while intexticated











I found these two videos on YouTube dealing with the subject of text messaging while driving, especially when it comes to teenagers driving and texting. I have written before about the dangers of driving while talking on a cell phone, but doing this is completely stupid. The girl in the second video, though, really pissed me off.

She considers being a good texter more important than being a good driver. She admits to nearly hitting a pedestrian and causing 3000 dollars worth of damage to her car. On another occasion, she was caught speeding doing 85 mph in a 45 mph zone because she was so busy texting that she did not notice the change in the speed limits.

What not to do in a drivers test

This kid decided to make some videos of his driving instructors. Needless to say, they seem to get really agitated when he kept insisting on talking on his cell phone while driving. A definite failure for sure.

Denis Leary Bike Rider Rant

This is Denis Leary's rant about people riding bikes through Midtown Manhattan. I guess what he is really saying is that he is jealous that they can get through traffic while he is stuck in a constant traffic jam. Never mind the money he is wasting on gas with his car just sitting there.
