It looks real interesting. I was proud to see that many of the story ideas have already been discussed on our little forum here.

Thanks for the tip, ArtKansas. This is a great aggregator page with some material from Huffington. I made a bookmark to it. As Roody points out, we have discussed many ideas here, but I'm guessing there's some good ones we've missed.
How about "Cyclists Cause Less Than 10% of Bike/Car Accidents" ?? I do notice a few of these are pretty old. Too bad we can't help add to the content.
Still it's better than the current aggregator I use Google Alert - bicycle which appears to have been aggregated by a Javascript script...

Roody not sure what you are doing... I went to Google news and signed up for an.alert on the topic of "bicycles"
The vast bulk of stories concern people who have been hit by a car. Occasionally though I strike on an interesting story. For example, I found out about a bike planning meeting for the town I commute through every day.
Still, it can be depressing wading through all this stuff. Perhaps I should have requested a more specific topic, like "bicycle commuting advocacy urban renewal" or somesuch... perhaps excluding the word "death" or "accident".

My search yields a lot of odd stories like this one: Former astronaut dies in bicycle accident
I also notice that the Huffington page hasn't many new stories since the original post.
I really suspect that what would work better is a page that was created by Wiki type software with about 100 people who could post copy or refer to other pages. That would maintain some fresh daily news without becoming too crazy. Hopefully, that wiki would also feature one good editor who didn't mind using the Delete key.
