Man, this sucks. Last Friday a motorist plowed through a group of Critical Mass cyclists in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The motorist accelerated his vehicle directly through the group of riders, injuring about 20 riders and sending eight victims to the hospital ER with at least one victim still remaining hospitalised in serious condition.

I’m always saying how I could spend a year in NY but a lifetime in San Francisco. One of the reasons is that it has the strongest bicycle culture of all the American cities I’ve been to. And I’m not just talking about fixed gear bikes – although it’s considered the birthplace of the scene: the daily commute features bicycles of all shapes and sizes. The city is also culturally diverse, with different groups living in clearly demarcated neighborhoods, like hipsters in the Mission and gays in Castro. Which is why this poster classifying each district by a different bicycle is so spot on!
