The Bike Winter Wimps want to make sure the record is set straight.

You may have been told today, December 21st,  is the first day of winter.   It's not.  It's the first day of the trend back towards spring.  Tomorrow will be longer, not shorter.

Winter is ENDING, not starting, today!

Length Of Visible Light:     10h 10m
Length of Day    
9h 07m
Tomorrow will be 0m 0s shorter.

Don't miss the 14th Bike Winter Art Show opening event night this Friday March 11 2011, from 6-11 P.M, at Chicago Urban Art Society, 2229 S. Halsted.

Admission is free and open to all ages. The show culminates with a
closing night gala on March 25 including the Second Bike Winter Fashion Show
presented by Rapid Transit Cycleshop, live DJs, and the special talent
of The Racketeers, Chicago's newest all-female BMX bike trick & dance troupe.

Highlights from this Friday's opening night event include:

-The X-ray Project
Co-curator Stuart Hall has collected a series of X-rays from bike
accidents across the city. The stories behind the broken bones help
flesh out the circumstances cyclists fall from grace.

-Beyond Bike Lanes: A Design Charrette
A design charrette is an exercise that lets many people provide input ona design model. Using the Chicago Bike Map and the Bike 2015 Plan as a springboard, we are inviting people to map out their ride to work, pinpoint issues that affect safety, and identify ambitious plans for the future.

Head over to http://bikewinter.org to find the link to complete details,
and grab the press release:
http://bikewinter.org/sites/bikewinter.org/file/BW_Art_Show_14_Pres...
and help spread the word.
