Westside BikeSIDE!

The second Freeway Traffic Jam Ride took place last Friday, and the Crimanimalz used the wiki as the reference for people interested in the history of the ride. The ride hit the front page of Digg, LAist, Boink Boink, Wired, local TV stations etc etc . . . and consequently the Freeway Traffic Jam article got about 5000 unique hits. It’s pretty clear the wiki can be useful as a central resource on a topic when organizers make use of it.

The other, more quiet story, is that the wiki continues to flesh out. I’d love to see cyclists get in the habit of recording events as they take place. Do you know who the Sodomites are? You may be surprised at the answer . . .

Cool new articles:
Alley Cat (good job Maulie & PC)
Bike to Work Day (thanks Wildbell & KNITTENS)
Bikes in Popular Culture (good work Erock, Gary7, Maulie, PC, RBI, SP00K & Plurabelle)
Car-free (YEAH!!! Paul B & SP00K)
Ridgeway (Spook, Erock, and Mikey Wally)

Improved articles:
Friends of the Friendless (KNITTENS knew something)
The infamous, and universally loved SKIDMARCUS
and his band with B-RAD, FUNDERSTORM
blogging legend: Mikey Wally

New category - Freak Bikes (KNITTENS did it!)
