8月18日 Biker wannabesNo Bike? No Problem At Marymoor Park<--- click for details
KING COUNTY - You can hop a bike and ride out at Marymoor Park and the county will provide the wheels!
Anyone interested in using these clean means of transportation should grab one of those. Also good start if you are interested in trying out some biking before commiting for next year's STP(Seattle to Portland on bike).
 8月3日 Favourite Bicycle MoviesHere are some of my favourite movies that involves some obscene amount of biking.
Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar: (End justifies the means)
Local school Vs BBBs(Bade baap ka beta/betis). The one who has the best bike and changes gear in the race climax wins. Nice songs and great performance by Aamir. The movie had everything a teenager wants: underdog victory, loving girl next door, Paris Hilton-ish babe and overnight transformation to a macho. Story involved an elder brother who is an athletic superman but gets out of action due to bad play by BBBs. The younger one(Aamir) takes on the challenge.
Breaking away(1979):
This one partially inspired the theme of JJWS(See above). Local cyclist in a small town (townies aka "cutters"), lives, eats, and breathes cycling and everything else Italian, comes of age in a race against college kids. Based on Dave Blaze, and his experiences at Indiana University and the Little 500.
American Flyers (1985)
Probably inspired the "Brother" theme of JJWS. Two brothers, a former National caliber rider (Kevin Costner) and his enthusiastic 'newbee' brother, take an adventure to the 'Hell of the West' (aka Coors Classic) stage race. Lots of good 'Coors Classic' footage in this one, even Eddy Merckx makes an appearance. The Triplets of Belleville:
This animated feature, directed by Sylvain Chomet and starring Jean-Claude Donda, Michel Robin and Monica Viegas, concerns a youth named Champion who is never happier than while on his bicycle. He grows up and enters the world-famous cycling race, the Tour de France. During the Tour, two mysterious men in black kidnap Champion and the woman who raised him, Madame Souza and her faithful dog set out to rescue him. Their quest takes them across the ocean to a giant megalopolis called Belleville where they encounter the renowned "Triplets of Belleville," three eccentric female music-hall stars from the 30s who help on the mission to save Champion. 7月28日 Biking from Seattle to PortlandWeeee, check this out.
