Summary: ...in which Randy goes on vacation, and makes his kids ride fifteen miles per day. Mike punctures a tire, and finds a new way of getting around. Headphones and speakers, Bluetooth and otherwise. Children are tailgaters. Beware the stop signs! Mike blames Ira Glass for ruining his hearing. Car noise and conversations between cyclists in single file. Encyclopedia Brown always rode his bike everywhere, unsupervised by adults. Why can't our kids do that today? Mike likes Lezyne glueless patches, maybe because he doesn't know how to use the old ones properly. There's a new bike rack at Randy's son Max's school, but the placement of it leaves something to be desired. Keeping battery-powered lights charged becomes more difficult the more bikes there are in the group. Don't point your flashing lights at your friends and family! We mentioned a depressing article about a cyclist killed by a police officer -- who will not be charged, and another about the circumstances of cyclist deaths in the US. We also talked about an article about the fact that nobody has yet died on a bike-share bike in the US. Until next time: PMC on Hubway & Boris vs Ventoux.
