I just noticed that the “a site built for a mobile phone” option is no longer available on the Google Analytics tracking code page. There is a screenshot of the older version of the page on this Google Analytics Mobile Tracking With Rails post. There doesn’t seem to be any information explaining why this is gone–save for this lonely question on the Google Analytics help forum.

It seems like mobile tracking is still working fine, it’s just strange that the PHP, Perl, etc. code is no longer provided on the tracking code page. Does anyone know what happened to this option?

Update 2010-05-12: Some people are reporting that their mobile tracking is not working in the Google help forums. Mine continues to work though.

All sorts of cyclists inhabit our streets and parks. Learn how to identify five of cycling’s subgroups, visually and aurally, with this handy feature from the New York Times.

The Long Island Bicycle Club has a collection of cycling cuesheets for rides on Long Island and beyond.

I have not ridden any of these yet, so I can not attest to their accuracy, or the quality of the rides they describe. But, they look good. I plan to test one out next weekend though.

No, this rabbit isn’t about to get arrested by a gaggle of moto cops. He (or she) is just trying to cross the street as part of a sting operation in Glendale California. Drivers that fail to yield to the rabbit are issued a summons.

An interesting idea, but it doesn’t seem like anyone should need to dress in a costume in order to cross the street without getting mowed down.
