From 1915 to 1928, the interurban Red Electric train passed through Hillsdale, now part of Portland. The trip offered a chance for passengers to share their views. My Red Electric blog is a vehicle for web travelers to do the same.

Bikes for Bureaucrats
I attend a lot of meetings that struggle to make progress, but, alas, don’t.
This past weekend in Seattle at Gas Works Park, I came across the perfect vehicle for advancing meetings. It’s called “the conference-cycle.” As long as someone is peddling, the group is moving forward. If they all peddle, they move forward that much faster.
Note that one person steers. Always a good idea.
Several other odd bikes were out in force at the park. One addressed another meeting goal: setting wheels — a lot of wheels — in motion. You don’t even need a meeting for this one.
Imagine what a hybrid of the two models might accomplish ....
