In Obama We Trust

We at Can of Worms are absolutely delighted to see a new President of the United States take office. And in particular a President who appreciates books and the power of language as a tool for change.

The New York Times has an interesting article on the new President and his love of books.

We are also delighted that Eye Books is the publisher of Good Morning Afghanistan by Waseem Mahmood, a book that recounts the moving and inspirational story of how he and his colleagues brought about Afghanistan’s first uncensored radio broadcasts after the liberation of Kabul from the Taliban. The radio programme which is called Good Morning Afghanistan demonstrates how the word can bring change about even under the most difficult of circumstances.

EyeCycle’s spokesperson launches new blog

EyeCycle’s very own Rob Ainsley has launched a new blog. In his announcement of its launch he wrote:

Rob Ainsley, EyeCycle\'s Spokesperson

“Cycling in London has more than doubled in the last ten years – but looking at blogs and websites, you would hardly know it.

So I thought it was about time that someone started a cycling blog that was genuinely witty and fun to read; well illustrated; well informed; bang up to the minute with the issues; and, most important, refreshed every single day, giving you that regular office fix.

And who knows, one day that might happen. Instead, in the meantime, there’s my new blog ‘Real cycling’:

If you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoy writing it, then I’ll enjoy writing it twice as much as you enjoy reading it.”

And if you missed it, he wrote the highly amusing and amazingly practical: 50 Quirky Bike Rides Around England and Wales. You should buy it and give it to a cycling friend.
