		<description><![CDATA[Eugene Bicyclist posted a thinker today in a post titled &#8220;On getting yelled at by a guy in a pickup.&#8221; Like me, he says he doesn&#8217;t get yelled at much. (See my post, &#8220;I Feel Your Rage.&#8221;) But he got yelled at by a guy in a pickup after making an &#8220;assertive&#8221; move in traffic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I went looking for Portapedal, a new-ish bike shop in Tempe, Arizona specializing in portable bikes. When I found the correct address, this is what I saw: &#160; And this is what I imagined would be inside: And I was partially right.

		<description><![CDATA[Americans tend to be very shy about asking for better prices. Maybe it&#8217;s part of the reason we accept having obnoxious pitchmen shouting Sale! Sale! Sale! at us. It compensates for our own reticence to initiate a deal on our own. When I returned from two-and-a-half years of living in Cameroon, I couldn’t pay retail [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So a cyclist is cruising down the sidewalk, and there&#8217;s a close call with a pedestrian &#8212; or maybe even a collision. Harsh words are exchanged. You should be in the street, you mountain of mad flesh! I can&#8217;t ride in the street, you cockered dread-bolted strumpet. There&#8217;s no bike lane!

		<description><![CDATA[When I was younger I used to buy my bike bags at the army surplus store. They weren&#8217;t actually army surplus equipment. There was nothing army about them.
