Better Safe Than Socrates

Today, we volunteered at Slide Ranch, a sustainable teaching farm by Muir Beach. After a quick introduction to the staff, which included an MA alum named Dylan (he's the one who made that video with the chameleon that Brad Lakritz showed on the first day of school for his senior project) (also he wants us to say hi to Ken Lanik and Bob Schleeter for him, so if you're reading this...), we got to work. We spent most of the day weeding a patch of land where we later planted pumpkins.

Oh, hey.

Welcome.

This is our first blog post for the critically acclaimed new blog, www.bikeaboss.blogspot.com

This blog will be tracking our (Talia's and Lauren's) epic hero's quest that is MARIN ACADEMY SENIOR PROJECT. During senior project, we plan to work at several sustainable organizations including Slide Ranch, Teens Go Green, and the Marin County Farmers' Market, and as part of our project we will be giving up our cars in favor of more sustainable means of transportation, namely bikes.

So, if you like bikes, sustainability, and possibly a little sass on the side, then we know you'll LOVE www.bikeaboss.blogspot.com, but don't take our word for it! Here are real testimonials from experts in the field:

"Two thumbs way up!" -Roger Ebert

"Man standing up on his chair clapping!" -Mick LaSalle, The Chronicle

"Better than tumblr!" -Lucy McCullough
