Pro Bike Oklahoma City

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

I wish I’d built more segregated cycling routes for London. If I had my time again, and if I knew then what I know now, I would have gone straight in with a massive programme of segregated cycle superhighways. I probably wouldn’t have been re-elected, unfortunately. That’s one thing to consider. But that would have been the right thing to do.
Boris Johnson – Former UK Prime Minister and London Mayor

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

I'm eighty five years old. I've watched fourteen presidents come and go. I have no interest in telling you who to vote for or what jersey to wear. But I do have an interest--a deep one--in whether the decisions being made today will look wise in 2046, when most of you watching will still be working, raising families, building businesses. The real question isn't whether $1.78 billion is a lot of money. In a $28 trillion economy it isn't. The real question is whether the principle behind it--that a sitting president can settle a personal lawsuit against his own government and direct the proceeds to a chosen class of beneficiaries--is a principle we'd want every future administration of every future party to follow. Because that's what precedent does. It doesn't ask your permission before the next person uses it.

So here's my simple discipline, the same one I've applied to every business I've ever bought: Judge the structure, not the personalities. Judge the incentives, not the slogans. And remember that in the long run, the institutions of this country are the only thing standing between a prosperous economy and an unpredictable one. Take care of them. They've taken care of us.
--Warren Buffett

HIDE AND GO BIKE CANCELLED FOR THIS EVENING

It looks like there may be some heavy rain moving in and biking in the rain is neither fun nor safe. So it was the right call.

Next week should be better biking weather. See you then!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

The happiest people I've ever met, regardless of their profession, their social standing, or their economic status, are people that are fully engaged in the world around them. The most fulfilled people are the ones who get up every morning and stand for something larger than themselves. They are the people who care about others, who will extend a helping hand to someone in need or will speak up about an injustice when they see it.
― Wilma Mankiller, former Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation

I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things.

If you give a sociopath a gun, don’t ask for sympathy if you get shot.

NO HIDE & GO BIKE THIS EVENING

The official announcement was just made. I watched Emily on KFOR this morning and when she says it will rain all day you can be sure it willI happen. But on the bright side, it's great to finally get some rain!

See you next week!

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

Nobody can embargo sunlight. No cartel controls the sun. Its energy will not run out. It will not pollute the air; it will not poison our waters. It’s free from stench and smog. The sun’s power needs only to be collected, stored and used.
--Jimmy Carter, 1978. In 1979 he had solar panels installed on the White House. They were removed in 1986. One is currently on display at the headquarters of China’s largest solar water heater company—which now provides hot water for more than a quarter of a billion people in China. The White House solar panels were an inspiration to the founder of that company.
