Be the Engine - Music Video!!

A few months ago our friend Mary, an acquisitions editor at the Oregon State University Press, forwarded a book she recently worked on. The book is titled "Pedaling Revolution: How Cyclists are Changing American Cities." The book's author, Jeff Mapes, is a political reporter for The Oregonian in Portland.

Pedaling Revolution is a "must read" for bicycle advocates. Mapes does a fine job of detailing the current state of bicycling in America and how bicycling, as transportation, continues to evolve.

Here's a book review from this weekend's NYT written by David Byrne.

Below is a light hearted video tribute to biking set to The Motor Primitives song Be the Engine, Part I. I'd like to dedicate the video to our friend Mary (an avid bicycle commuter) for pushing to publish such a great book!
