YouTube.com will be forcing all its users on to the new YouTube One Channel Layout: Like it or not, most users don`t like it as it loads way slow and hard to find video contents. In Other News: - A lot of BMX track web sites are seen going 404ed-Closed as lots of BMX track web sites are defaulting to a sub-site page on the ABA-USA BMX site. A nice idea, but a bad one at the same time as lots of web sites out side of the BMX community are un-listing most web site domain names that default to other web sites and pages and lots of ISP`s are blocking domain names that default to other web sites and pages as away to help battle spam on the web. -- So, by defaulting a BMX track web site domain name it can make for less exposure of a BMX track on the web. In Other News: - Yahoo! buys Tumblr on Monday, it`s a $1.1 billion deal for the blogging site. Yahoo! promises to not 'screw it up'.

Dems Unveil 10 Cent Gas Tax, Bike Fee To Fund Transportation.Olympia, Washington USA -- 02/20/2013 House Democrats unveiled a transportation revenue package Wednesday that would raise $9.8 billion over the next decade with the help of a 10 cent bump in the gas tax, a new annual car tab fee pegged at 0.7 percent of the vehicle's value and over $3 billion in new bonds. Also included is a new $25 sales fee on bicycles sold for $500 or more, which is expected to bring in $1 million over the next ten years. -- You Can Also See News By: Slog.The Stranger: * Lawmaker Disagrees With Her Own Bicycle Tax. * WA Lawmaker: Bicylists Are Actually Polluting When They Ride. - 03/03/2013 King 5 News. Gene`s BMX Comments: - Re: Proposed Bicycle Tax: Wenatchee, Washington USA The main issues in the proposed tax; A new $25 sales fee on bicycles sold for $500 or more, which is expected to bring in $1 million over the next ten years. - It is unlikely to pass, but if it does the effect may be of a slim in Wenatchee as most bicycle sales are under the $500 mark. The most of bicycle sales in Wenatchee are made in mass market stores like Wal-Mart, Target and them bicycles sold are of low to mid level in price. Yes, there are a few bicycle shops like Full Circle, Arlberg this may hit hard as they do high end bicycle sales. If all else, If it is passed, people can shop in Oregon, no sales tax or online to buy a high end bicycle that is over $500.00.. For the bicycle shops like Full Circle, Arlberg in Wenatchee, and others in and around the state, this could create a new way in doing high end bicycle sales. Instead of a $800 full bicycle, sale the bicycle incomplete for $475.00, with no seat, tires, chain, extra. Then people can buy the rest of the bicycle for $325.00, then offer to assemble the bicycle as a courtesy. Sales of incomplete bicycles could work? But better yet, - just say no to this new proposed bicycle tax thing. -- Geneb. |

 medal events to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics program, including the restoration of track points races. The UCI's proposal comes amid calls to scrap cycling's Olympics status after the Lance Armstrong case and criticism of the governing body's management of anti-doping measures. The UCI says its management board supports restoring the individual points event, plus introducing BMX freestyle and mountain bike eliminator events. All three would have men's and women's races. Cycling awarded 18 gold medals at last year's London Games, including 10 track, four road, and two each in BMX and mountain bike.The mass-start points race was incorporated into the new omnium event after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Mountain bike eliminator sees racers compete in four-rider heats over a sprint course. CC - The Associated Press (AP) News Wire.
