> OK, first a couple things, and this is to my fellow Yuba Mundo riders out in the blogesphere. I am not planning on selling my Mundo, nor am I comparing these bikes to it…I love my Mundo and think they are truly unique and versatile bikes (not to mention the most comfortable bike I’veContinue reading “>Two More Beauties (and a something a little odd).”

Q&A with Deepak Chopra
This clip is only a little over four minutes long and it’s an interesting but brief interview. I’ve read a couple of Deepak’s books and have watched some of his full-length programs and have always found him not only insightful and inspiring, but also his humor and enthusiasm contagious. To read a short bio ofContinue reading “Q&A with Deepak Chopra”

Hemingway on Bikes…timeless
I posted this once before…maybe a year ago or so. And I just came across it again and thought it worth re-posting. This may have been written nearly 100 years ago but seems (to me) just as relevant to day…maybe even more so. Click the image to enlarge it.

Howard Thurman Quotes
Click here for his bio. “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” “There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the onlyContinue reading “Howard Thurman Quotes”

Do-It-Yourself Side Panels For The Mundo
I came across this at the Yuba Mundo blog. They are offering free and very simple plans to make your own skirt guard (pdf download). They’re promoting it as a tool to make it safer to carry people on the back of the bike, which it surely would, but I think it will probably beContinue reading “Do-It-Yourself Side Panels For The Mundo”

A Slippery Deja Vu
I find this woman somewhat annoying (as I do many talking heads…talk show hosts and newscasters, not the band) but what she has to say is quite amazing. This is uncanny. Scary. What will it take us to learn. It’s almost eight minutes long and worth watching in entirety.

A Real Beauty
If I were a wealthy guy–which I’m not–or if I had a disposable income–which I don’t–I’d buy one of these beauties. It’s a Batavus Personal Delivery Bike…looks like a shorter version of a cargo bike to me. Never rode one but have seen them in a bike shop in Toronto…they’re like a work of art.Continue reading “A Real Beauty”

Lobster Killer!
This post is part shameless self-promotion, but also self-interest. It’s self-promotion because it refers to–and is linked to–an article I recently wrote for Artvoice weekly paper. The article chronicles my chagrin at having to kill 120 lobsters (yes I had to do it if I wanted to keep my job). This may not bother someContinue reading “Lobster Killer!”

It’s the Little Things
I saw this sign after walking across the Golden Gate Bridge last week with my son. It’s at the entrance to a stairway leading under the bridge and to the other side (so you don’t have to cross the hellish traffic). The stairs are long and steep so there is a ramp provided for bicyclistsContinue reading “It’s the Little Things”
