As reported on Cyclelicio.us
“The town of Black Hawk, Colorado banned bicycles from most of its local streets. And Black Hawk Mayor David Spellman (a drunken wife beater) consistently ranks as the most corrupt public official in Colorado.”
To “promote safety”, the casino town of Black Hawk in the Colorado Front Range has banned bikes from local streets. Police have been ticketing cyclists riding through town since the ban became effective last January 2010.
“Mayor David Spellman, incidentally, seems like a real character. In 2006, he was convicted of felony assault after he pistol whipped his wife — beating her several times in the head with a .38 and then shooting three times in a drunken rage — during a domestic dispute. In 2008, the Colorado Bureau of Investigations determined that Spellman personally received more than $1 million in state historical funds that were meant to preserve and restore the historical character of Black Hawk. In 2009, Spellman purchased the local newspaper that was critical of him and fired the editor. Mayor Spellman consistently has topped the “Most Corrupt Public Officials list in Colorado. He and the town he represent seem like real gold mines.”
As I said – only in America.

Mexican Wrestler punches fan in the face!!
Saw this on Cam Zinks webiste thesensus.com
Nothing to do with bikes – but quite amusing. The woman 2 rows behind with the small boy certainly thought so. (I am not sure that my mum would have reacted in the same way!!)

X-Games 16 Park course on PlusSizeBMX.com
“Here are the first images of the super park and street courses for this summers X-Games 16. The park course looks insane. On the street course they have added a weird satellite dish ‘like’ section. It is hard to figure out for sure from the drawing. But congrats to the designers for doing something different.”

Crazy but True?
A teenager was refused a repair kit for a punctured bicycle tyre because staff feared he might sniff the glue inside.
“Daniel Cottrell, who is two months short of his 18th birthday, was shopping with his dad in a 99p Store when staff refused to sell the kit, which includes a 5ml tube of vulcanizing solution.
The Telegraph reported yesterday that the cashier refused to sell the kit because the tube contained solvents and Daniel was younger than 18 years old.
His father, Simon, offered to pay but the cashier still refused to sell it.”
