It's Bigger Than "Bath Salts" and "Zombie Apocalypses" -
“… if the police can speculate about “bath salts,” and bloggers can speculate about a “zombie apocalypse,” I don’t see why I can’t speculate about a real documented apocalyptic public health crisis in our state.”
Subhash Kateel discusses how the lack of access to mental health services plays a role in the “Zombie Apocalypse”
Word. I’m so beyond put off by all the cutesy zombie apocalypse bs.

A Morning Commute by Little Tiny Fish
This month was National Bike to Work Month and to encourage people to ride their bikes Wisconsin Bike Fed created a competition called the National Bike Challenge to see how many miles the state could rack up by bike.
This was kept track of through the Endomondo site and app. The site itself leaves a little to be desired, but the app works smoothly, and has proven to be an easy way to keep track of mileage off city streets or on long rides. I usually trace my routes at the end of each night on DailyMile and if DM came up with an app like this I would be 100% behind that site. I would pay for that app.
I wonder how well DailyMile does in Europe. Would DailyKilometer catch on in America?
Anyway, according to Endomondo, mileage grew exponentially as the month went on.
You achieved the first million miles in 14 days. The second million was accomplished in 9 days. The third million miles only took 7 days.Without really thinking about it I managed to ride every day but one in May and racked up the most mileage I’ve ever achieved in one month. 774 kilometers (483.75 miles), which put me in…213th place overall. Hmm…well that number is a little less spectacular.
In related news, I’m putting this new piece along with another in the Bike Art Show which is opening at Moct (240 E. Pittsburgh, Milwaukee) on Friday Night at 7pm. It’ll be up for a couple of weeks.
Then it’s off to start June off right. This Sunday is the United Performing Arts Fund’s Ride for the Arts, on which I’ll be putting in a good 75 miles. If you care, donate to the cause.
The National Bike Challenge is doing really well in Topeka, KS, too. It seems like our community here was ready for it. One of our teams, TCCP 2, is doing well, and rider Michael Lemuel crested the 2,000 mile mark this month! I have a terrible time tracking my own miles - but I really have seen more people on bikes this month, in large part due to this campaign.
So, Happy Bike Month to everyone!
P.S. LTF, I dig the artwork, and I think this should be a series.

Enough room in that shop for a full-on bicycle ballet performance!

“We grew up with the Internet and on the Internet. This is what makes us different; this is what makes the crucial, although surprising from your point of view, difference: we do not ‘surf’ and the internet to us is not a ‘place’ or ‘virtual space’. The Internet to us is not something external to reality but a part of it: an invisible yet constantly present layer intertwined with the physical environment. We do not use the Internet, we live on the Internet and along it. If we were to tell our bildnungsroman to you, the analog, we could say there was a natural Internet aspect to every single experience that has shaped us. We made friends and enemies online, we prepared cribs for tests online, we planned parties and studying sessions online, we fell in love and broke up online. The Web to us is not a technology which we had to learn and which we managed to get a grip of. The Web is a process, happening continuously and continuously transforming before our eyes; with us and through us. Technologies appear and then dissolve in the peripheries, websites are built, they bloom and then pass away, but the Web continues, because we are the Web; we, communicating with one another in a way that comes naturally to us, more intense and more efficient than ever before in the history of mankind.” — Piotr Czerski (via azspot)
