I'm fleeing to Central America

I'm off to Costa Rica for two months of studying Spanish and working on an organic coffee farm! Worry not, dear readers, as this is only a two-month absence. I will be back before you can say "automobile-centric transportation." In the meanwhile, my highly capable colleagues will be handling the website end of things.

No, I won't be taking my bike with me. I know, shame on me, etc., but I'll be too busy to pedal! Hey, I'm not bringing a car with me, either. That would likely exceed the stated weight limit for checked luggage.

So, keep fighting the good fight while I'm gone. When I get back, I expect 25% more bike lanes, quadruple bike racks on VTA and SamTrans busses, and a 5% increase in bicycle miles traveled. You can do it!
