We'd love to talk to you--you really get what we are trying to do--let's do dinner. Our treat.

We run Post-Car Press to publish the Post-Car Adventuring Guidebooks series. We travel regularly with the Bay Area-based Ragamuffins bicycle(+transit) gang, a dedicated crew of post-car adventurers.
We are passionate about improving the quality of our streets for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders by working at the intersection of publishing, design, and advocacy. We hope that you'll join us in these efforts.

No that's cool man! I figured it would take a while to get all of that stuff completed for 148 people. I only asked because I have moved 2 times since September and
wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail. The address you have should work. Sorry if I came across as a jerk, didn't mean to!! :) No rush.
Thanks and good luck.
Hi Mike, and other backers who might have the same question --
We are still working hard to fulfill our rewards for each of our backers, and by now all $1 to $25 backers (and there were many of you!) have received their rewards in the mail (except for trip itineraries in many cases, which will take some more time). We will be mailing $50 and up backer rewards as soon as we have all your rewards ready--because donors who gave more are getting quite a number of things from us, this means that it has taken more time for us to get you your things--thanks for your patience and we promise that when things do arrive at your door soon, you'll be pleased with what we've put together!
Thanks, Justin & Kelly.
I am happy I supported, but have not received anything. Should I have by now? Just checking.
Hearty congratulations! Looking forward to enjoying the fruits of your labors. - (Backer) Anni Long in Mill Valley, CA
Woohoo! Congrats!

Good luck guys, what a great endeavor and project!
I just returned from my 1st trip to the Netherlands and have dubbed myself the unofficial ambassador to all things Holland and all things bikes -- what a wonderful way to live. Blog post about the bike culture: http://macncheeseproductions.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/holland-vs-america/
I support any project that encourages community and biking!
I'm happy to support you guys. This is just the kind of thing we need to build the momentum for change. And I'm super excited you'll be doing a NYC edition!
Thanks and best of luck.

Hi Jaakko,
We are not officially using a CC license, but all of our trips are published online and are freely accessible at postcarpress.org. For instance, our Post-Car Adventuring the San Francisco Bay Area guidebook trips were originally all published online.
Thanks for the tip on WikiTravel-- we'll check it out and think about the ways in which Post-Car Travel can reach a wider audience there.

Would you happen to be publishing your works with any Creative Commons license? I'd love to support the project if you did. Should you have considered CC-by-sa then you could even contribute directly (or indirectly) to WikiTravel, my favorite travel guide of the 21st century.
Collaborating with WikiTravel could also make some things easier for you, depending on what you want, what you 'must have' and what you're open to, of course. You could even create the guidebooks directly into the WikiTravel wiki and make it possible for the process to become a community effort.
Just my thoughts.
GOOD LUCK ! We are counting on Justin & Kelly to have a huge influence on our ENVIROMENTAL future.
