> 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 forContinue reading “>It’s the Little Things”

Really Good Food From A Really Small Garden
If you’ve been to this blog before then you know that it is mostly about using a bike as a regular form of transportation, but it’s also about food (that I grow and cook), and about living simply (which is the most difficult thing, I think). At-any-rate, I am a proponent of getting rid ofContinue reading “Really Good Food From A Really Small Garden”

Things That Can Be Carried On (or pulled by) a Bike (#187)
$58.61 in groceries. Yup, still have a flat on the Mundo so I took the Dahon out with it’s Bike Rev trailer…A completely different ride but still just as fun.

Graffiti Knitting
I came upon this bike rack on Haight Street last week. Initially I saw the nice Bridgstone bike attached to it, but then I noticed the post partially covered in knitting. I had seen a few other examples of guerrilla knitting in the city but none on a bike rack….how nice, I thought, you won’tContinue reading “Graffiti Knitting”

Flat Tires Suck
No way around it, they do: flat tires suck. They’re really disappointing. Came home from vacation yesterday looking forward to taking a spin on the Mundo only to discover it had a flat on the front tire…hadn’t been on a bike in a week and was really looking forward to it. Maybe it went flatContinue reading “Flat Tires Suck”

If a day goes by that don’t change some of your old notions for new ones, thatContinue reading “Woody Guthrie (Quotes and a Song)”

In Praise of Cargo Bikes
This post is really in response to this article I came across at the Grist website. The catchy title of the article is initially drew my attention: Tricked-out cargo bikes give SUVs a run for their money. It’s a good article and basically just another thing to stroke your ego as a cargo cyclist. IfContinue reading “In Praise of Cargo Bikes”
