Yeah, but as long as they didn't claim that I haven't updated 
BicycleAustin since 1999 when in fact I've spent hundreds of hours of 
doing so they could probably escape my wrath, or at least just get a 
slap on the wrist. :)

Thanks.  Based on this and Fred's comment I went ahead and updated the 
routes on BicycleAustin to mention S. Congress.  I'm not redrawing the 
maps though, designing them took forever...


In other news, I've been engaged in a war of words with a psychological 
cult I was burn into, but got out of many years ago.  The reason this 
is bike-related is that here's one way they're trying to discredit me 
on their site:

"Aesthetic Realism is not a cult, is not against education, does not 
stop people from having friends or seeing their families or going on 
vacations or fulfilling their ambitions or making money or living where 
they please! The person who asserts these lies ... lists among his 
proudest accomplishments moving several times entirely by bicycle."

As though that's a bad thing!

By the way, I was the one who bought Librik's Rans Wave.  It's sweet!  
I may even stop riding ride my trike as my primary transport.

Finally, it looks like there's now a cross between upright bikes and 
recumbents.  I've always fantasized about such a machine, looks like 
someone's actually building them now:
