Kickstarter

A copy of Disaster! mailed to your door.

One copy of Disaster! and one copy of one of my other publications of your choice (this can be a second copy of Disaster! if you like).

One-year subscription. Get the next four issues of Taking the Lane Quarterly, starting with Disaster! (#9) and running through issue #12.

Rebuild for Bikes! Prepare your spirits to make the best of whatever comes with practical knowledge and inspiration from Disaster! (TTL9), Unsung Heroes (TTL3), and Bikenomics. Even better, get yourself and your bike road-worthy and cargo-ready with a copy of my new book, Everyday Bicycling.

A copy of Disaster!, mailed to you, PLUS the secret password to get an advance look at the 7 minute Disaster Relief Trials video from last summer in Portland, well before anyone else gets to see it.

One copy of Disaster! mailed to you, and one mailed to a friend. Plus, if all ten of this reward level are chosen, I will pledge to personally deliver by bicycle, as far as is possible, all of this project's rewards that are addressed within Portland, Oregon's city limits. Rain, hail, or shine! Photographic evidence to be posted on my blog, along with a personal thanks for your support (and a link if you'd like).

Rebuild for Bikes (Body and Chainring Edition). All the stuff in the Rebuild for Bikes pack, *plus* boost your self-sufficiency with a copy of The Chainbreaker Bike Book, our favorite bike repair manual ever. And limber up your legs and lungs for whatever's to come with a copy of Pedal, Stretch, Breathe: The Yoga of Bicycling.

Everything in Print! All the good stuff available from Taking the Lane at the time this ships. This will hopefully/probably include: Taking the Lane #3-9 (possibly excluding #5, if supplies continue to dwindle), Bikenomics, Pedal, Stretch, Breathe, and a selection of related cards and stickers, and maybe something else. Community bonus: If ten people choose this reward, I will produce a supplemental photocopied mini-zine (one sheet of paper, folded and cut cleverly to make a charming little book), with words and pictures of a useful and topical nature, and send one to every backer of this entire project.

Mailbox Love! Everything I publish in the calendar year 2013, mailed to you as it comes out, starting with Disaster! Could be a handful of pocket sized books, could be a plethora of multimedia extravagance. A great deal either way.

The "Mailbox Love!" *and* "Everything in print" rewards. So much good reading. Bonus: Pledge double this amount to share the love and sign up a friend as well. Community bonus: If ten people choose this reward, I'll go ahead and start production on "Taking the Lane: The Movie."

I will digitally record a SINGING VIDEO TELEGRAM for you or someone you care about who likes to laugh. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, practical jokes. The catch: I'm the one who's doing the singing. Also, you and your lucky telegram recipient each get a copy of Disaster!

I will perform a dramatic reading, on video, any essay of your choosing from any issue of Taking the Lane (even out-of-print ones!). You also get a copy of Disaster! and of the issue the essay is from.

I will re-enact, on video, the salient moments of every essay in Disaster! and post it for your amusement. Also, you get a couple of copies of the issue itself, so you can follow along with a friend.

A real life emergent situation in my living room will play out, caught on video! I will build a fortress out of books and zines and shipping supplies, and the cat will valiantly defend it against attack. (The cat will not be harmed, but catnip and string toys may be involved.) Also, you'll get a couple copies of Disaster! Awesome.

You or someone you want to mightily entertain will receive a LIVE, IN-PERSON SINGING TELEGRAM performed by yours truly. Must be in the city of Portland or on a scheduled tour stop. Besides endless laughs, you and your telegram recipient also each get a copy of Disaster!

What, to your mind, is the most exciting topic in bicycling right now? The next issue of Taking the Lane will be our tenth (!), and this lucky backer will choose the theme and have editorial input on how it's explored. You'll also get the Mailbox Love *and* Everything in print rewards -- one set of rewards for you and another for a friend.
