The reason for this is that blogspot provides us with an RSS feed, which can be viewed <a href="http://yellowbikeproject.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default">here</a>. If you don't know (or care) what an <a href="http://www.whatisrss.com/">RSS feed</a> is, you can ignore this post. The current blog will update as normal.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4241254102111693076-5056993893004665376?l=yellowbikeproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yellow Bike Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680681197835406880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241254102111693076.post-40959588377124243922008-10-17T14:45:00.004-07:002008-10-17T14:48:40.775-07:00<a href="http://radishinfoshop.blogspot.com/">The Radish Infoshop</a>, which accepts donations for The Yellow Bike Project, has been putting up a <a href="http://radishinfoshop.blogspot.com/2008/10/spoke-n-wrench-bike-shop-now-open.html">community-run bicycle workshop </a>every Sunday from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

We dropped three off at <a href="http://www.radishinfoshop.blogspot.com/">The Radish</a>, and the other five went downtown.<br /><br />We'll be getting some more up-and-running at The Radish next Tuesday evening.<br /><br /><img src="http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k386/yellowbikeproject/YellowBikes.jpg" alt="Yellow Bikes" width="480" height="364" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4241254102111693076-6932167232159401351?l=yellowbikeproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yellow Bike Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680681197835406880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241254102111693076.post-40458860776889769012008-10-17T14:45:00.000-07:002008-10-17T14:46:28.851-07:00The Springfield Yellow Bike Blog is the official website of the Springfield Yellow Bike Project. The Yellow Bike Project is a community-run effort to cut down on traffic, pollution, poverty, and crime. And we’re going to do it by giving away free bicycles!<br /><br />Well, not quite free. The idea is that anybody who wants to can take a bicycle, and ride it where ever they need to go. Then, when somebody else needs a bike, they will be able to use that same bike to get where they need to go. It’s amazing!<br /><br />And even more amazing still is the fact that we're going to keep a blog about it, right here for you to read! Woo!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4241254102111693076-4045886077688976901?l=yellowbikeproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yellow Bike Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680681197835406880noreply@blogger.com0
