There are numerous decisions to be made to get a blog going. Of course you have to take the mental leap and put yourself out there, but then there are all the practical choices too. What blog service should I use, heck what should I write, which theme and what pictures should I put in the header. Well in decided I wanted to put some of those turn of the century cycling posters at the top of my blog because I like the graphics and they evoke a time when cycling truly meant freedom. You know, the ones with ladies in bloomers and feathered hats, and men with handlebar moustaches. Well in searching the web I came across some recent posters by Nick Dewar that are styled after the public art of the 1930s and one in particular pretty much sums up my philosophy.
I think I’d use a hub generator rather than that old friction thing, but you get the point.
SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL LIVING
by Nick Dewar:
“I hope that America is entering a post-’greed is good’ period. I can’t think of a single step that would change the nature of our society more than everyone abandoning their automobiles and cycling instead. There would be less dependence on oil, obesity levels would drop dramatically, and reflective bike clips would replace fancy ladies’ purses as the current must-have fashion accessory.”
