Bicycle coverage thick in this week's Chronicle

I hit up the Austin Chronicle's website today to be treated to the following two cycling-related stories. The featured story of the week is a thorough investigation into the James Clayton case by Rob D'Amico of the League of Bicycling Voters (hereby renamed to the League of Bicycle Superheroes, which sounds much more epic). Rob really got out the shovel and dug up some skeletons for this one, it's a juicy read and I'm not even halfway through it yet:

His article also includes a really awful photo of me without facial hair for the first time in about 7 years. Not the photographers' fault, I just look horrible when I'm clean-shaven. Heh.

The second is Chronicle writer Dan Mottola's piece on last months' Critical Mass arrests. Beyond covering the event he asks a few officers on the scene some additional questions, and their answers are rather insightful:

Bottom line is the same as it's always been: Don't break the law, don't get arrested. Easy, no? If you can't abide by that, then you best not get caught. ;)
