The Herbert Simpson Co-op is hosting a book swap tomorrow, Sunday, August 7 from noon until 4pm.

Bring good books you like but are never going to read again! Leave with a bunch of new and exciting books! Meet your book-loving Davis Square neighbors!

We'll be in the backyard at 55 Simpson Avenue if the weather's nice, or inside if it's not.

Leftover books will be donated to a nonprofit book sale.

How can I ride without being a jackass?

[contradictacat.livejournal.com]

Dear Oracles of The Internet,

Since moving to a place that is just far enough from a T stop to make walking inconvenient yet too close to be completely comfortable taking the bus, I've decided to take up biking. While I've learned how to ride a bicycle, I haven't ridden since before I left for college and that was in suburbia. Which means I have no blinking idea how to ride in a city.

So I come to you, O wise sages, where do I learn how to ride a bike in a city without being a complete jackass and a danger to myself and others?
