Neighborhood News and Local Blog Roundup

[Untitled] by Sea Kay. We say: wear a helmet!
- MyBallard clears up the confusion about when it is actually okay to drive in 15th's bus lane.
- PhinneyWood has photos to show what happens when a car gets t-boned by a metro bus, careens into a parked car, and sends the once-parked car crashing on to a Phinney Ridge porch.
- Ron Sims twitters about what good shape Dan Savage is in, the P-I's Big Blog reports it, and now we're linking to the P-I. We really are all connected.
- The Slog reminds us, by reporting another needless head injury, that bike helmets may look dorky when you're on your fixie, but they're really, really important.

seriously, not wearing a helmet? What are people thinking? Actually, I guess they aren't since they bitch about how drivers are out to get them and need to take more notice of them but then ride down the street, blowing red lights, at night, in black, with no lights, helmetless.
I'm sorry this guy is hurt and the driver (based on Slog's reporting) is obviously at fault (his defense: "I didn't see him") but part of me thinks this is just Darwinism in action.
