I was reading the sentence about 'cockpit sausages' when a 'cockpit sausage' appeared. What?!? Looks like I need to find a blog post about free, sub-25 lbs., 120mm travel trail bikes being given away to small business owners.

Coincidence?
I was catching up on some bicycle blogs this morning. Like you do. As I was reading the newest post from Bike Snob NYC This bike came through the door:

Help Wanted
Happy last day of 'winter'. Things have gone from busy to busier around here, so it's time I got a little help. I wrote a help wanted ad- please pass it along to any unemployed or unhappily employed bicycle mechanics you know. It goes a little something like this:
Hub Bicycle Co., located in beautiful Cambridge, MA, is hiring! Are you a talented mechanic with bicycle industry experience looking for a small, but growing, service oriented shop to work in? Do you believe that bicycles make the world a better place? Are you comfortable working on the full range of bicycles and components- from big box specials to carbon race rockets? Hydraulic brakes, wheel building, suspension, and three speed hubs? We should talk.
You can expect part time employment (with the possibility of full, for the right person) competitive pay based on experience, employee discounts on bikes/parts/stuff, opportunities to participate in advocacy, community education & trail building, and a relaxed, positive work environment. Please email a cover letter and resume to Emily (emily@hubbicycle.com) if that sounds good to you. Emails only, please. Thanks!

Bike Sharing is Caring
Moments after I reading about the return of Hubway (no relation) on Boston Biker, I received this in the mail:
Why would someone who already owns an unhealthy number of bikes (yeah, I said it) want to join a bike share? I think it's a good idea (good for people who don't have a bike, good for people who want to try out biking before committing to it, good for tourists, good for people making burrito runs at lunch time, etc.) and it makes sense to support good ideas. I'm not sure how often I'll take advantage of these bikes- although I'll have more opportunity to with the expansion of stations into Cambridge- but I'm really looking forward to going on a lunch run or two on one of these babies. Learn more about it, or join (it looks like there's a spring special happening...) here.
