New In The Public Library

by ROB WILT

Florida Crossroads Show - "Pedal Power"

The most recent video addition to the library from GCC is a Florida Crossroads show from January 1990. This show will be of particular interest to all members who were with the GCC during the annual Horse Farm Hundred in November 1989, as you may see yourself or a friend on the tape. I personally recognized Craig Lee and Bill Cochran among the participants.

The video has scenes from the Horse Farm Hundred, and of the old depot-trail-bridge crossing 13th St. prior to its being enclosed and made part of the local Rail-Trail system. Other topics include the St. Marks Rail-Trail, commuting in Tallahassee, St. Augustine's hostel and a story about a custom frame builder in Crawfordville.

If you haven't seen this show already, you should check it out.

"Cycle Songs" by Linda Crider

Following up on our desire to share with the community all-things-bike-related the GCC has also donated, to the library, a copy of Linda Crider's audio cassette tape "Cycle Songs". For those of you not familiar with Linda, she is the program administrator for the Florida Traffic and Bicycle Safety Education Program at the University of Florida and is very evident in state bike activities, such as the annual Bike Florida Tour. Produced in 1993, this tape is the ticket if you want to get that bicycle feel for the songs of the road. But remember, you'll get a ticket if you get caught wearing headphones on your bike. Intended for car and home listening only!
