Bike Issue not Bike-Y enough
You can’t please everyone all the time, City Paper, but you do a pretty good job

You can’t please everyone all the time, City Paper, but you do a pretty good job of keeping most of us reasonable people happy. But I do take issue with your Bike Issue (April 18). You guys failed to recognize the numerous bike events held in the city that are helping to change ideas about cycling here. Where were your nods to the major rides that draw thousands?

Editor Lee Gardner responds: We recognize/nod to many of the city’s major bike events in the issues that come out in the weeks they take place.
“Olfactory Thing”
(In reference to “Sneaker Freaks,” Feature, April 11)
My sneakers
they don’t fly
Doesn’t mean
I don’t try
Always thought
I was about bein’
a pretty fly guy.
My sneaks
don’t have wings,
They do not speak,
they cannot sing
but they sure can reek.
And reek they do
My aura is distinct
honest and true.
To the dudes
who may fly
off buildings
with their kicks,
makes me think
I’m secure to know
they’ll never achieve
my aura of stink.
Take it from me
my sneaker bros,
it’s not the sneaks,
with the fly wing and
it ain’t the clothes
that attracts the wench
It’s an olfactory thing,
‘cuz I’m the Toe Cheese King,
the Sultan of Stench.
