 Fonda? Honda? Vespa! For no particular reason (well, it helps having members with contacts), the Minions were the focus of a nice article in today's Spokesman-Review newspaper - the splash page of the "Today" section, no less. Pretty cool. The article, written by correspondent Jennifer Larue, features quotes from several clubbies, including Prez Mark, Veep Scott, Brian, Robin, Rick, Jonna, Michael and Melissa. Even club sponsor Rick Manfred of Vespa of Spokane got a nice mention.
Jennifer, by the way, says she's been thinking about getting a bike for herself. Not sure whether she's more - or less - inclined to do so after speaking with our bunch.
But no need to ramble on about the goods, not when you can check out the article for yourself at the link below. Plus, figure Mark's bought out most of Spokane Valley stock of papers already, so he'll no doubt have copies to share later on - priced to sell, we imagine. Thanks, Spokesman, and thanks to the clubbies that took time out to chat with Jennifer and show up for the photo shoot!  Spokesman-Review article (weblink) |

 Cycle stalls: There's more! Of course, here in Spokane, we've got a pilot program of our own, featuring around 16 dedicated stalls - pretty good given that Denver is only considering 20. Reportedly, ours are located downtown on: • The east side of Post Street, across from City Hall
• The south side of Main Street, just east of Red Robin
• The north side of Main Street, just west of Aunties Bookstore
• The south side of Spokane Falls Boulevard, next to the Wheatland Bank
Like Denver and other cities, Spokane is exploring whether the use of under-utilized and/or "end-cap" space can help bring in additional revenue on top of helping relieve congestion. We hope it works, for Spokane and for Denver. And getting a stall or two on each block, even if they're end-cap space, seems like the only way to fairly gauge use and give two-wheeled transportation parity with the four-wheeled variety. Let's fill 'em up: ride, park, repeat. Denver cycle parking (weblink) |

 Home in a nutshell. Found first on the excellent New Café (Racer) Society blog, this movie - a three-part series, in case you're extra-intrigued - follows Brit Colin Furze around...and around...inside his home-made wooden drum called "The Wall of Death." Yes, there's a scooter or two involved. There's a crash. An thankfully, for our eyes, at least, no major impalements were filmed (though the prospects clearly are there). Oh, the humanity! (Oh, will the 2% Club build one of these for Inland Invasion??) Wall of Death! (YouTube® video)
