This roundup has so much good stuff in it. Apparently nobody told the world’s bikers that it’s winter, and they should stop doing cool stuff (okay, some of these are from the southern hemisphere). Here goes. I hope you didn’t plan on getting much done today.

• Tom Vanderbilt rides along with a New York man who may have the longest bike commute in the country (50 miles each way!)
• Portland considers a “sonic bike path.” Sonic? Sounds like Seattle turf y’all are steppin’ on down there… (I want one!)
• Washington’s Vulnerable Users Bill is actually less punitive than bills in other states, reports Biking Bis. Some want criminal charges with jail time.
• Bike infrastructure is by far the most cost-effective transportation investment. Need a pretty infographic to convince you?
• Statewide school funding troubles? Well, an Illinois group suggests cutting school buses and promoting Safe Routes to School instead.
• Keegan Hamilton at Seattle Weekly thinks Seattle should get a D-League basketball team and name it the Seattle Sharrows. I love it.
• A group in Adelaide says children who cycle grow up to be better drivers. I would prefer them to grow up to be better cyclists, but baby steps …

• Mount Rainier’s Carbon River road is becoming a biking and walking trail.
• What should come first, bikeways or bike sharing? Do we need to choose?
• As bicycle use in Minneapolis rises, the rate of collisions with motor vehicles falls. This is more evidence that “safety in numbers” should be out loudest bike safety cause.
• A San Fransisco man goes to court to defend his right to ride a tall bike. He wins.
• Cascade’s RSVP 2 lottery is open through February 23.
• “So what did you study in college?” “Bicycling.”
