End of the Season

Well, I’d guess I should stop being in denial and face facts that the cold weather is on the way. I did my annual ritual of digging up the front yard garden today to make room for a shipment of firewood which is slated for delivery tomorrow; the wood gets dumped in my front yardContinue reading “End of the Season”

The King for How Long?

OK, though I am a bicycle/pedestrian advocate I try not to get too self-righteous because I still do drive a small pickup truck (infrequently…less frequently at times than others), but I couldn’t help myself here. I was pedaling back to work to finish the second half of a split-shift when I came upon the aboveContinue reading “The King for How Long?”

Things I Saw on my Bike this Week

If you are reading this blog I am likely preaching to the choir but I’ll say it again…one of the many benefits of riding a bike is how much you see; you are not simply passing by your surroundings in an enclosed metal climate-controlled shell, you are part of it. And is often the caseContinue reading “Things I Saw on my Bike this Week”

This Looks Fun (and useful)

This looks really awesome…but mostly fun. I’m not sure how fast it would go but it would probably come in handy in the sometimes harsh winters we see here in Western New York…then I’d really have no reason not to ride even on the snowiest days. It’s made by Lightfoot Cycles; they make many human-poweredContinue reading “This Looks Fun (and useful)”

Five Quotes From Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) “America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.” “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”Continue reading “Five Quotes From Oscar Wilde”

Cargo Bike Revolution

The below trailer was forwarded to me by a fellow cargo-biker (thanks Max!). It’s the trailer to an upcoming documentary about cargo bikes in the US. It is so good for me to see this. While I generally get really good comments about the Mundo when I’m on it or loading it, and while aContinue reading “Cargo Bike Revolution”
