Texting While Cycling is Stupid But Should it Be Illegal
CDC data shows that 9 Americans are killed by distracted drivers every day. One in four car crashes involve the use of cellphones. That’s over 340,000 “accidents” that could be prevented if people just put their phones and concentrate on the road. This could also translate to cyclists texting while cycling…
If I Text While Riding My Bicycle, Can the Cops Fine Me? And what about an electric bicycle? Huh?

How Cycling is Helping Veterans Find Peace at Home
For many members of our armed forces, returning home signifies the beginning of a different type of battle.
The laser focus that allows you to keep your tires tracking on the trail’s narrow tread. The playful challenge of picking your way through the rocks strewn on the trail.

It’s springtime. You’re starting to see them everywhere: the girl on the Electra pink Hawaii, the dude wheeling down the Crystal Pier on his Tiger Shark beach cruiser, the aging hipster-prof pulling up to the Pannikin coffeehouse on his retro-modern Italian Ticino.

Headquartered in Vista, Electra is now one of the largest bike companies in California, selling more than 100,000 bikes a year. Baenziger is the inventor of the Townie, a bike, he likes to say, that is “for the rest of us, not just for Lance’s friends,” meaning racer Lance Armstrong, of course…

About Electra Bicycle Company
Electra was founded in 1993 by Benno Bänziger. A Swiss national, Bänziger grew up in the Swiss Embassy in West Berlin interested in California and action sports. As a teenager, he began designing and manufacturing snowboards in Germany, later moving to California after graduating with a degree in graphic design.
