I was surfing the net for a little while, and since a lot of us Cronica readers ride bikes around Valencia, I would love to share this web-page: www.valenciaenbici.netThey have a map for the bike path all around Valencia that you can print out, tips for parking your bike and not getting it stolen, somewhere to post your stolen bike, somewhere to post if your bike it's been recovered, and much more. They also organise bike trips to El Saler every third Sunday of the month, they meet at 10.30 on the Fountain in front of the Palau De La Musica, and they do this to promote bikeriding as a means of transport (this coming Sunday!!). There is also a monthly "bike-picket" every first Friday of the month, to make motorists aware that bikers have as much rights on the road as the petrol-heads.
On other note, one of the designer at Oracle has organised a fundraising for an Argentinian charity called "Comedores Infantiles". This Comedores are places where the poor kids go to get their meals after school, and it's been going on for a while now. If you feel like giving to the less fortunate this Holidays, there is an Annual Appeal up until Dec. 14th (Sorry Silvana sent this to me while I was on holiday).

Thanks a lot!!!
