RNC Critical Mass 2004
NYC's alternative: a Bike National Convention.
o 1-up rnccm2004.html (180K)
o HUGE 14x22-in bnc-poster.pdf (9.8M)

News that the Republican National Convention was coming to New York City inspired a flyer featuring a great Jim Swanson graphic of San Francisco. Jim very awesomely made a New York City version in time for New York's positive alternative to the RNC: the Bike National Convention. Print onto an 8x11 sheet of paper. (Use your browser's "Print Preview" feature, with no margins.) Print in "portrait" mode.

Jim also allowed the graphic to be used for a Bike National Convention calendar by the No RNC Poster Project. There's a small version in their gallery, and the HUGE full-sized one is here.

Illustration by Jim Swanson.

A great big cheer for our environmental hero Chevron for sponsoring an art show about "ecotopias" what with their busy schedule of polluting the world and all.

(Though the Bicycle Culture exhibit was very nice. We saw it at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.)

What will life be like without cheap oil?

World oil production will begin to decline in the next 20 years. One estimate, from a comprehensive study, says that the decline will start before 2010, and sometime before that, the Gulf States (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates) will be supplying 50% of the world's oil.
