Texting Ban Legislation Stalled
Wednesday, 10 March 2010 00:00 | 
Written by Travis M. Sherman | 
| Advocacy Articles, Information and Updates |
I am urging you to act immediately to send a message to Sen Smitherman and your AL state senate representative. Use some of the words below at let them know that a ban on texting would be a good first step AND PLEASE PASS THIS BILL.
Why? Because if it’s illegal to text while driving, although enforcement would be difficult and near impossible, when a texting driver kills a cyclist or get in a wreck, it no longer will be “Just an Accident”.
Phone records can prove the infraction, just like a blood test or breathalyzer proves a driver is drunk. Then, the driver can be cited with this offense as well as vehicular homicide, if a fatality occurs due to his/her negligence.
Find your AL state senator by your zip code: http://www.legislature.state.al.us/misc/zipsearch.html
Senator Smitherman can be reached by phone at (334) 242-7870 in his Montgomery office,(205) 322-0012 in his Birmingham office, or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Alabama's Magnificent Bicycle Adventure
Friday, 05 March 2010 00:00 | Written by Travis M. Sherman |
| Race & Ride (Century Type Events) Info and Updates |
AMBA is a multi-day bike ride established to raise money to support AlaBike. AlaBike is a Non-Profit C3 corporation formed to make Alabama a better place to ride bikes. The organization hopes to accomplish this goal by enacting legislation and through education programs that make roads safer for bicyclists and more bicycle friendly. AMBA is different than other 7 day bike rides:
• AMBA is staged in one location and has out and back loops every day.
• Since AMBA is staged in one location, you set up and break down camp just once, and, your car is available every night.
• While you bike, your non-biking mate can go sightseeing, golfing, shopping or do other activities and still meet you for dinner!

If you're looking for a great race in some warmer weather, take a look at the Regions Race Weekend! This is a great event. The time trial course is awesome. Multiple corners ripping through down town Albany, GA. The criterium is on the same course. You won't get bored, that's for sure. The road race would be considered flat. There are some small rises here and there. The pavement is excellent.
This is an event that you can bring your family too. Stay at the Hilton Hotel (I think) and you'll be on the TT and Crit course. Roll out of the hotel and you're right there to watch the action. There is a nice little river walk area and a place for the children to play. In addition, there is a festival going on with plenty of distractions to occupy the little ones.
So, make this a family weekend. Don't burn "points" with the spouse for being gone...bring them with you.

Hello Alabama folks. I am writing to let you know about a bike event happening this week, "Bandaged Bike Ride" in Tuscaloosa, AL. We will be meeting at UA at 3pm on Friday, the 12th and riding to City Hall.
We are expecting a very large turn out and are hoping that the ride will bring about better conditions for cyclists in Tuscaloosa, cause right now they're pretty bad. Please see details below and let me know if you have any questions.
"The goal of the ride is to increase public awareness of the need for safer streets for cyclists in Tuscaloosa. The ride will be led by people who have been hit and we will be meeting at the steps of Gorgas Library (UA) and riding to city hall. Riders will wear bandages to draw attention to the seriousness of injuries that can and have been inflicted upon cyclists by motor vehicles.According to statistics, in the last 5 years 3 people have been killed, over 66 injured by cars in Tuscaloosa, and this is not including the many cases which weren't reported. We are calling on everyone who rides a bike in Tuscaloosa- Please come and be a part of the change that needs to happen!"

Under the statewide plan, non-motorized paths would be designated along state roads or created to connect with existing or planned trails within cities.
The paths could be wide shoulders along highways, striped lanes on the outside of city streets or just recognition that certain state roads are specially meant to be shared by motorized vehicles, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians alike.

Jefferson County Senator opposes text messaging ban
Friday, 05 February 2010 00:00 | Written by Travis M. Sherman |
| Advocacy Articles, Information and Updates |
House Bill 35, the ban for texting while driving, has reached the Senate Judiciary Committee. It was brought up last week and carried over to an unknown future date. Three Senators have opposed the bill openly, most notably Rodger Smitherman of Jefferson County. He is the President Pro Temp and we should focus our attention with him.
His contact information is…
Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Phone:
(334) 242-7870
He has expressed willingness to see the bill move forward if the violation becomes a secondary offense. This is unacceptable. As a secondary offense it would mean that to be charged with texting while driving, someone would also have to be committing another offense. It would not lower the number of driver’s texting because there would be no fear of the punishment. Further, if someone was actually charged with texting while driving, the texting fine would be added to the fine for the primary offense. The goal is to achieve changed behavior, not to fleece the driver’s of Alabama.
Here are the points I believe to be the core elements of the bill and our goal:
The law as a primary offense will…
· Save Lives
· Save money for the driver’s (it is not added to another offense)
· According to a survey by Nationwide Insurance, immediately reduce the number of people texting while driving by 40%.
Please contact Mr. Smitherman, especially if you live or work in Jefferson County, and let him know that you support the bill as is and you would like to see it move to the Senate Floor for a vote.

Bike Fit Wedges
Saturday, 23 January 2010 00:00 | Written by Travis M. Sherman |
| Training Information |
As I've studied more about the bike fitting process, I begin to notice "things" as people ride there bike-especially if I'm riding behind them. One of these "things" is the knee wobble.
A common pedaling style that I have noticed is that on the down stroke, the knee will buckle to the inside. Then, on the upstroke, the knee will go back to "normal". If you assume that most people ride at approximately 90 revolutions per minute, this is 5,400 times a hour this occurs. This side-to-side wobble is highly inefficient and can lead to knee problems.The reason this happens is that most people have a slight tilt in the foot. For most people, there is a small gap on the inside of the foot. A good way to illustrate this is to stand on one foot and then bend at the knee. Watch as your knee buckles inwards. This happens because the floor is flat and there is a gap between the foot and the floor. As you apply pressure, the foot rolls to meet the flat surface.

We've all heard the saying "Go hard or go home!" Well, I'll modify the saying and say "Go hard when you're at home!". With the heart of winter settling in and the frigid temperatures and rainy weather keeping us indoors, we're becoming too close with our trainers.
Too often people simply get on the trainer and just ride and complain of boredom! No longer. Get on the trainer and have a plan. Plan to go hard. Not all out hard as if you're racing, but hard enough to meet your goals. For example, if you're in the middle of your base period "Zone 3 Tempo" is in order. If you're at the end of your base period "Zone 4 Threshold" is in order. Both done in big gears and low cadences for muscle strength development.

My Apologies

| Alabama Cycling News Announcements and Requests |
My apologies for the lack of updates lately. My wife gave birth to our first daughter on December 4th. Add this on top of the holidays and the mandatory "Baby Tour" 2009 and the endless stream of visitors, I haven't had much of a chance to work on the site (or to get sleep). I have also been working on another project that has consumed what little time I've had left. Plus, the cycling season is probably at it's lowest point of the year during the holidays anyway, so there usually isn't much news going on.
On piece of news I'm curious about is why all of the logging trucks and heavy duty logging equipment on State Park Road in Pelham?
I will get back to daily updates soon. I am currenlty working on a comprehensive southeast regional events calendar that will include, I hope, all of the events that are going on in 2010 in AL, MS, TN, GA, LA and parts of FL and the Carolinas.
