speaking of critical mass, have we hit a critical mass of cycling incidents in the US yet?

Oh great, you just know those SFist photos are showing up in some campaign ad for some Republican House candidate in Tennessee or Missouri.

where's the -ist for atlanta, or the twin cities, or portland?

I have a friend in Denver that was lamenting the lack of a good local blog too.
good addition, hillrat. just seems like any big city in this country should be able to support an -ist site, and i'm wondering why there aren't more. are we an abberation here? (wait, don't answer that....)
