chocolate 06 mar it takes a village to raise a child they say and a community to build a movement but is bicycling a movement i ve always bristled at the idea when i think of movements i think of protest rallies and marches with grand speeches that lead to counter protests and sometimes violence like the unrest that came with the civil rights women s suffrage and antiwar movements that s not what i see for bicycling nor do i hope to see maybe i m thinking too narrowly social movements spring from a new perspective and people s desire for change that s what i want for bicycling that we see it differently that we move bicycling beyond just sport and recreation to integrate it into our daily lives in a way that s healthier for us for our cities and for our planet if we accept bicycling as a movement then which communities will build it will it be the bike advocates who push for bike lanes and legal protections will it be city staff and elected officials who design and approve the streets and trails we ride will it be the bike industry who manufacture and sell the gear will it be businesses who know that bicycles can bring in more customers or more employees at a lower cost or will it be people like us the women who came together at the wine women chocolate gathering to share the joy of bicycling college students making their place in the world women retired from careers in business or raising children and women who juggle one or more roles every day we are women who are just getting comfortable riding on streets women who bike every day everywhere women who unwind with a spin down a trail and women who push themselves longer harder or faster there may have even been a racer or two community goes beyond living in the same place it s a feeling of fellowship with others that comes sharing common attitudes interests and goals i saw community at our wine women chocolate gathering and i believe communities are what will build our bicycle movement along with help from the bike advocates the city staff and elected offiicials the bike industry and local business leaders it takes a village after all what bicycling communities do you belong to what kind of movement are you all building this slideshow requires javascript it takes a crew to throw a party many thanks to candice and carmen for opening their home to us to the half dozen volunteers who checked us in parked bikes poured wine kept the food table neat and to the handful of party goers who took the photos in this slideshow finally thank you to the silicon valley bicycle coalition for

mardi gras in california 22 feb after my family what i miss most about louisiana is the food and the rich traditions behind it like making pralines after picking pecans in the fall or boiling a sack of crawfish for a backyard party in the spring or making gumbo the day after thanksgiving with the turkey carcass for me these are all family traditions but there s one louisiana food tradition that i associate with the workplace not home the king cake in the louisiana french tradition carnival season begins at the feast of epiphany aka three kings day and runs through mardi gras aka fat tuesday the last day before lenten fasting begins during carnival season no party was considered complete without a king cake a sweet bread sprinkled with sugar with a bean hidden inside the lucky party goer who was served the slice of cake with the bean was tasked with throwing the next carnival party are you still with me i realize this is not a mainstream american tradition this tradition continues today among circles of friends and in workplaces although the bean has evolved into a tiny plastic baby when i was a student working on the lsu campus our boss brought a king cake the friday after epiphany then whoever got the baby brought the cake the next friday and so on until mardi gras the good news for the person who drew the baby is that king cakes are easy to buy at bakeries back home the bad news for me is that i ve only found one place that sells them in the bay area and it s in san francisco and they re by special order only a long way to go for a cake plus the challenge of carrying it home on a bike for years i ve toyed with the idea of baking my own but the traditional recipes sounded like too much work and the easy recipes using place and bake cinnamon rolls sounded too sweet this year i tried again googling easy king cake and behold an easy recipe with a cream cheese filling and a touch of lemon that passed my discriminating standards start to finish including rising was about 90 minutes for years i ve wanted to bake a king cake finally i found an easy recipe the trick to making it easy is starting with thawed frozen bread dough roll out dough to a rectangle on a floured surface no need to be perfect for the filling mix 8oz cream cheese with 3 4 cup powdered sugar and 2 tsp vanilla lemon or other extract spread the filling out on the dough leaving a border on at least one of the rectangle s long sides starting on the long side without the border roll the dough and then shape to form a ring pinching to close place ring on baking sheet spray top with oil cover with plastic wrap let rise in warm oven for 45 min remove wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 25 35 min while the cake is baking whisk 3 4 cup powdered sugar with 1 2 tsp milk and vanilla or other extract use as much milk as desired thickness when cake is golden brown remove from oven and cool drizzle glaze over the ring and sprinkle sugars in mardi gras colors purple green gold even though i knew my co workers wouldn t know what it was i baked a king cake and on mardi gras last week i brought it to work on my bike a dish draining rack tied down to my bike s rear rack made the perfect king cake basket all that was missing was the toy baby for that there s always next year do you have traditional holiday foods from back home that aren t common where you re living
