The geniuses over at Streetfilms present a very creative use of public space. Now, I'm not just saying this because I now have a driveway. I don't even need extra parking. But what a forward thinking proposal. I can't think of many people who would rather have more parking and endanger more lives.

It's nice to see people thinking in new ways these days. We're becoming smart about how we treat the world and how we treat society. Little improvements here and there. At work today I was putting together a bicycle. Now bicycles, when they're being shipped, come with these little caps on the outside of the axles. These are so that they don't punch through the sides of the boxes and scratch other bikes. These are the ones from today:

I don't know if you guys care but look at these babies! DK Bicycles put these in their boxes. Usually, they don't have those little holes cut out and they're big and heavy. I wonder how much plastic they saved by cutting those out. Maybe a percent? That's still such a big difference made just by thinking differently. Good job DK!

Enjoy your ride
