Top 10: CRAFT-y Bike Projects

What’s this? Women are riding bikes now? When did that happen? What’s next, the demise of the hoop skirt?

Becky is poking me in the ribs, now. Apparently, she claims, women have been riding bikes since the 1880s. Huh. I have been out of the loop.

Now she’s poking me harder and pointing out that lots of men, these days, like to sew, crochet, and do other sissy craft stuff. (She didn’t say “sissy,” actually.) Apparently, CRAFT readership is up among male readers, too. Geez, is nothing sacred?

OK, that hurt, Becky. I think I’m going to have a bruise. Yes, yes, I’ll tell them. Becky says that lots of women read MAKE, too, and this whole notion I have that MAKE is for boys and CRAFT is for girls is archaic and stupid and just plain wrong. Typical!

Becky says I should stop typing, now, if I value my job.

So, ummmmm…..yeah! Enjoy the round-up!
