A bit of "blogosphere" news for you today... the excellent weblog TreeHugger picked up on the Charlie Princep tragedy yesterday:

He was hit by a drunk driver that veered onto the paved shoulder in Brooks, Alberta, "Flesh and blood against gasoline, alcohol and two tons of steel." Getting people onto bikes is just about the greenest thing we can do. How can we make it safe for them? How many people do we have to lose before cyclists are given the space they deserve?

There was supposed to be a feature on CBC Radio One (99.1 FM) today at 10 AM... did anyone happen to catch it?

You can read Charlie's blog about his trip, and attend the Charlie Princep Memorial Bike Ride. Everyone is meeting up at Jet Fuel Coffee in Cabbagetown (on Parliament, just north of Carlton) at 6 PM tomorrow, August 17th.

It looks like it'll be well attended ... there's already 53 confirmed attendees on the Facebook Event Page for it.
