The City of Tacoma and Tacoma Art Museum are once again inviting artists to submit entries for Zeit-Bike. This year’s theme is “Spoke Tales” and artists are asked to create spoke cards that promote bicycling in Tacoma. The deadline is now just one week away. So, why do you love bicycling in Tacoma? Can you express it in 3” x 5” of space?

I’m going to make some shirts and I’ll let you know when they’re available. Would anyone be interested in one? Bumper stickers?

I got a piece of bike related art: you just need white paint, and you actually use the road as the canvas. It’s kind of a minimalist thing, you just make two long lines next to each other, about 3 feet apart right there on the road. I think the city should submit about 50 of them by next week for this contest.
Seriously, for all the talk the city does about bikes, I see no action whatsoever in making this a better city to ride in. I refuse to participate in this empty cheerleading contest, and I suggest everyone else do the same. Or, better yet, send angry letters as your entry.
PS, I’m bitter, can you tell?

I thought the deadline for the spoke card was on the 8th. Did I get it wrong?

I would definitely get an “I bike TAC” bumper sticker.
Let’s hope improving Tacoma’s bike infrastructure is high on the list of the new Office of Sustainability.

I would buy a few of those shirts, seriously.
