Like every other person on the face of this planet, I balance a "push me-pull you" act with my time. So while I have no end of things I'm interested in sharing on this blog, there is also no easy way to find the time to do it. 
While there is probably something cathartic about leaving a note like this on someone's car, I wonder if it does any good? For the well-intentioned but oblivious driver, perhaps. Otherwise, I could see this potentially fanning the irrational flames of resentment. Anyway, this particular citation comes with the Bicycle Defense Kit. (In fact, it's the nicest thing IN the kit.)
Forget bike gear, let's look at a good gift for the biblioholic biker. And I have just the lovely volume in mind: Crap Cycle Lanes: 50 Worst Cycle Lanes in Britain. 
As I've had to wrap my Kryptonite lock with rubber bands to keep it from rattling, I did wonder about how much sound this generates while pedaling. Also, I suppose its paint could chip more readily than one might like.
Oh, and I also liked the Pereira's built-in, generator-powered rear light.
There were some other bikes present that included some of these features, like this saddle leash from PsCip. More later, but additional photos from the show are here.
As we're just two days off from the Handmade Bike Show, I thought I'd whet your appetite with a few more bikes from last week's Oregon Manifest event in Portland. 
Along the lines of toting a load, I was a little surprised to find that Joe Bike had an electric assist on this small cargo bike. Though I don't have one on my Bakfiets, I can't deny there have been times where I would have like one (hello, Alameda Ridge with three kids onboard).
Responding to the goat bike posting, Michael Mechthold-Jin points out that bikes and goats are a natural combination.
