This week, we got really excited about Oak Velo VEG, loved this story about three Antioch commuters who found great friendship through carpooling, and found out who’s behind those BART announcements. Oh yeah – and found out we can meet Gary Fisher and other mountain biking pioneers in San Rafael on Feb. 13. Yeah, really!
