A couple things. Firstly, no that is not a current picture; it’s one I took last winter. Though I live in a snowy area of the world it has not snowed yet (and hopefully won’t for at least a month or two). The other thing is this. I am currently writing a short article whichContinue reading “What Tips Do You Have (I’d like to know)”

Cycling For Everyone
I love this video. It’s a new inspirational piece put out by the Dutch Cycling Embassy. It offers first a brief history of cycling in Holland and then what is happening today regarding cycling in their beautiful country…mostly how cycling is integrated into daily life. Living in the automobile-centric U.S. I’d be fibbing if IContinue reading “Cycling For Everyone”

Uncle Sam’s Transport
This is an image from the New York Tribune from 1897…Uncle Sam on a bike. My how times have changed. What would he be pictured riding on or in today? Our old uncle needs to get back on his bike.

Something I Saw Today
If you’ve been to this blog before you may be growing tired of me proclaiming the many benefits of bicycling (but then again, maybe not). Anyhow, I’ll again state the obvious. When you ride a bike you see things and are able to interact with the things and people you see that would be impossibleContinue reading “Something I Saw Today”

A Summer Bike Ride
This is a great feel good video about bicycling (the music as well as the video). I came across it at Naturally Cycling: Manchester, but it was made by Girls and Bicycles in Edmonton, Canada. It made me smile and I thought I’d share.

The Tao of Calvin
First off, I don’t necessarily agree with everything the dad in this cartoon says–at least not to the extreme–because I still own a gas-powered vehicle, but I don’t use it that often. Tonight was the first time I used my truck in more than two weeks (emergency school supply run for my teenage son). IContinue reading “The Tao of Calvin”

New Bumper Stickers
More specifically, these are my new fender stickers…got them today at the WNY Peace Center booth while walking through the Elmwood Festival of the Arts.

Interesting old Bicycle Adverts
I enjoy old advertisements…it gives a glimpse of life during certain periods, and I particularly like old bicycle adverts (these two were found here…there’s many more if you’re interested). What I found interesting about these two–despite their odd titles–was their subject matter…both are promoting the bicycle as a healthy way to travel; that they areContinue reading “Interesting old Bicycle Adverts”

Red Sky at Night
I just snapped this photo from my front porch a few minutes ago. Beautiful, isn’t it? But I’m still shaking a little…my nerves are frazzled. Not because of the photo or beautiful sky of course, but because of what happened a little while ago. I was on my way home from the local pizzeria withContinue reading “Red Sky at Night”

Bikes and Bread
I came across an article in the New York Times today titled, The Dutch Way: Bicycles and Fresh Bread. Bread and bicycles are two of my favorite things so I’m sure you can picture me like a dog with a silent whistle…my ears perked right up. It’s an article written by an American living inContinue reading “Bikes and Bread”

Biking in the City: Two Short Videos
I am an urban cyclist not only because I think it’s fun (and saves money, the environment, etc.) but also because it makes the most sense…indeed it is often quicker–and less stressful–to get from point A to point B by bike in the city. Anyhow, with that in mind, here’s a couple short videos. TwoContinue reading “Biking in the City: Two Short Videos”
