Yet Another Bicycle Article? Not so

November 6, 2009 by Sal Atticum

So whatever happened to the UND "Green Bike" Project? We heard in the DS last spring that the program was going to return, but to no avail. I even spoke to someone this fall who claimed they were on the organizing committee and that the next phase was right around the corner. Well, it's November now.

It's Never Too Cold to Bicycle

October 1, 2009 by Sal Atticum

A version of this article appeared in the 02 October 2009 edition of the Dakota Student at the University of North Dakota. It is reposted here by the author.

Of the stupid things I’ve had the opportunity to do here in Grand Forks, cycling to school through the winter is probably both my own favorite activity and the one that is least comprehensible to anyone else (especially people who warm up their cars for 20 minutes for a two-minute drive to class). Obviously this incomprehensibility is one of the draws, but I actually enjoy the combination of being able to skip all the parking issues and meet the challenge in a literary ‘man vs. nature’ sort of way (oh, the songs they will sing of me…). Seriously, I’m not knocking people who drive in the winter, because it gets frigging cold here. If you’re looking for a little more pep this winter, something to tell your friends about, or a way to keep off that freshman 6.8 kilograms, you might want to try bicycle commuting. Below you’ll find a few things to think about. The snow hasn’t flown yet, but get ready.

A few more Details on the Politics of the UND Nickname

September 15, 2009 by Sal Atticum

In case anyone is still wondering about the fate of the UND "Fighting Sioux" athletic nickname and associated "Indian Head" logo, more seems to be happening in the last few weeks than in a long while. Tu-Uyen Tran at the Grand Forks Herald has been covering all of these stories that are vaguely related to his higher education beat (in that they concern UND and the State Board of Higher Education), but he's been giving a goodly amount of extra detail and analysis on his blog, The City Beat.
