Hey Team,

Hope you’ve got your fenders affixed and your woolies at the ready because winter is nearly upon us. All is well here at HQ, and if you read the last brief you know that change is coming to Team Wonderbike as it comes to all forward-moving, healthy organisms. That’s us!

A couple updates - Tour de Fat finished strong in Austin, TX. Check the vid - Austin TDF - big ups to last year’s car-bike swapper, Scarlett Arbuckle, who has NO plans of returning to car transport and to Logan Leatherwood for stepping up this year!

Good People = Good Times.

Also, in the must-read section - you need to get familiar with “Boneshaker: A Bicycling Almanac”. Let’s have Editor-in-Chief?Handsome Gent, Evan P. Schneider pitch the goods:

“After a successful first installment, the makers of Boneshaker: A Bicycling Almanac are poised and excited to present the second issue, BA 42-200, late this fall. Released two and a half times a year by Wolverine Farm Publishing, Boneshaker is a practical bicyclist’s handbook filled to the brim with stories, interviews, diaries, maps, drawings, profiles, and essays about bicycle commuting across the United States.

Pocket-sized and presented in good conscience, Boneshaker aims to pay homage to that wonderful feeling we have in the saddle, getting to and fro by bicycle. Consider subscribing at wolverinefarmpublishing.org. Boneshaker is always on the lookout for submissions and encourages you to ride safely and make things happen!”

Good People = Good Times volume 2

Alright - Bike More, good people!

Hey Team,

As the leaves tumble from the trees and the air gets that chill morning snap, we look back fondly on another beautiful summer spent cycling. From the world of Tour de Fat  - we are now only two shows from the season finale in Austin, TX. Across the western U.S., thousands upon thousands have turned out in feathers, glitter and fedoras for the morning bike parades. Tens of thousands of dollars have been raised for cycling non-profits and certainly a few beers were enjoyed along the way. Ahh yes - we’ve also found car-bike swappers in every city. Check out our latest contestants - Jenny in Fort Collins and Cher from Boulder at the Denver Tour de Fat. Big cheers for their deep commitment to a car-free existence.

Hey Team Wonderbike - welcome to our new virtual home! Pretty sweet, eh? This comes to you from the creative (slightly diabolical) mind of our own, Aaron Reid (cue Bad Motorfinger here). We want to use this site to build a more sticky bicycle movement. Right now, we are more than 15,000 bicycle commuters strong. We recently hit 14 million miles pledged to be biked (and not driven) per year. Impressive, to say the least. We’re doing it together, each and every day.

So what more can you do? This is our new forum to connect, dialogue, brainstorm and make the world a more bike-friendly place. Send in your thoughts and images and we will post them right here. Want to get a group ride going at the end of your Friday commute? Post it and see who comes. Feel like a rant against potholes and cell phones? This is the place.

This entire project has been a great experiment underwritten by our good friends here at New Belgium Brewing. But where we take this thing is up to you. Should we relay ride our bikes from SF to DC and award senators from the most bike-friendly states a cruiser bike? How do we raise awareness locally and nationally? Let’s figure these things out together, meet new people and have a fine time along the way.

Are you with it? Sign on and say hello if so…

Bike more, drive less!
