\In fact they’re people who cannot drive; they’ve either lost their licenses or are too poor to own a car, and their accident statistics are so appalling that they skew US bicycling safety stats markedly toward the danger direction.\

I don’t believe that any of this is \in fact\ there are no studies differentiating and to posit that a person’s economic position is an indicator of their ability to bike safely (or as you imply- to not bike safely) is appalling.

Hi Chop,
Ahh, I now remember that I’d seen your site a long time ago, before bakfiets-en-meer existed. I just added it to the links – I hope you do the same if you haven’t already done so. Thanks.

Jason,
Thanks for the reminder. I had indeed seen Brian Campbell’s bike on Bike Portland a while back but couldn’t remember much about it. I’ve added it above.

We have a pretty cool camper bike that cruises through Davis often: http://daviswiki.org/Human_Powered_Housing_Project

Brian rides his styrofoam and bolt together aluminum spaceship all over North America.
