In the springtime, concerns turn toward the horde of cyclists turned loose upon the streets of cities and towns across the country. In many communities, concerned citizens ban together to hold trainings for the adventuresome who ride bicycles in the hope of preventing accidents. The goal is to develop and refine their set of skills for on-road riding with external or internal box-wine loads.

Did ya know Portland has a skeptics meetup? WTF is a 'skeptic'? Meet up at Ladd's Addition (at the large central circular park) and we'll ride to Kells Irish Pub for a meetup at 5:00. Skeptics value using critical thinking and the scientific method for answering the unanswered. This, as opposed to magic. We'll dispel urban myths, conspiracy theories and ask challenging questions. Then we'll drink BEERS. ('PDX Skeptics in the Pub' meets up at Kells @5 every last Sunday, check out the facebook page by the same name for more info)
