Since 1817 the bicycle's been our friend. It expects nothing other than regular upkeep.<br />
It offers much: The pleasure of a breeze on the road, in city, or mountains. A simple, and cheap, way to travel, and a great workout.<br />
From Bike Lanes to Rail Trails, from inner city to rural countryside, from beaches to prairies, Cyclists are out and about alone, or with family or friends, getting close to their environment, natural and man-made.<br />
Let me tell you about our world in a weblog born in January 2003......</p><span class="posted">Posted: 13 Feb, 2003 at 08:14 UCT</span></div><br>

It's still relevant and I believe is useful to many in the Blogosphere.</p>

<p>Did you ever receive hate mail? Do you have a blog and wish you could find out who’s sending you those racist messages and make sure they face up to the consequences of their acts? </p>

<p>Are you Jewish, Italian, Irish, Christian, Black, Hindu, Muslim, a woman, gay, or part of any minority and have received a hate message? Well, I decided to write this tutorial to help you stop the hate messages, or at least to make some people face up to the consequences for their racist emails – read on and you’ll be better equipped to react when you are attacked.</p>

The idea is that if you have an announcement that you need passed around (I'm leaving! I'm back! I've moved!), or a post you think is important, you can post it here in the comments. You title them, put in the link and have a body of text. </p><p>You can use it to advertise someone else's post, too. I'm hoping this will end up being a good resource both for readers and bloggers. Please don't abuse it, if you post a daily "read me now" link here, I'll start deleting! It doesn't have to be a masterpiece either, though. You may just have a short post that links some important news, or something with a request for comments. Old posts that are still relevant are also welcome. </p><p>I'll put up a new post periodically, so things won't get way out of date. If you have real comments about this blog (as opposed to blog posts), <a href="http://site-essential.com/scgi-bin/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=1144">use this comment link </a>instead of commenting here.
