While I haven’t been paying attention this month, there’s been a lot of good bike news.

• Impossible Bike Lanes in the Works – Harrumph! This stretch of Mass. Ave. is the worst part of my commute—and apparently has some of the highest accident rates in the city. It looks like there will finally be bike lanes there by the end of the year!
• Hub set to launch bike-share program – Boston Globe. I wish this had existed when I was thinking of getting my bike; it’s reassuring to try them out for a while first.
• Making a living unchaining the bicycle – Boston Globe. Speaking of bicycles, I’m really drooling over these shaft drive bikes. Has anyone tried them?
• Green Buildings: The Cambridge Public Library – Sustainable Cities Collective. An in-depth discussion about the new Cambridge Public Library’s cool double-skin wall system. (Thanks, Sharon!)
• America’s energy use, in one nifty chart – Grist. You may have seen this before, but it’s a great visualization.
• Homeowners Continue To Waste Green Home Improvement Money – Treehugger. I love the pyramid of conservation they refer to. It’s a great visualization of the fact that solar electric, wind, and window replacements should really be the last things that homeowners do.
• Replacing our LAST two incandescent lights with LEDs – Green Lifestyle Consulting. I haven’t tried LED light bulbs yet, but it sounds like they’ll be overtaking CFLs soon.
• U.S. Army Launches Plan to Make All Military Bases Net Zero – Inhabitat. Way to put a good use to giant military spending. This could mean not only a huge reduction in carbon consumption, but also major financial support for energy-saving programs and technologies.
• Let Us Eat Fish – New York Times. I’m still not going to start eating fish, but this is an interesting take.

As always, if you come across anything that I might be interested in this week, send it my way.
