> 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.Continue reading “>In Praise of Cargo Bikes”

Old Garden Posters
I Love these…old adverts for victory gardens (also called liberty gardens during WW I).With the food issues we have today (and I’m not talking about scarcity, but more so about factory farming, pesticides, and lack of diversity) I can’t help but wonder if these posters aren’t more relevant than ever.

Isaac Carrying Stuff on a 1990 Raleigh Technium
This is my teenage son who reluctantly agreed to have his picture taken before he pedaled away (are you done yet dad?). He’s adopted my old Raleigh Technium and it suits him well. I used to love that bike, and one of the things I loved about it is that it is really fast. NowContinue reading “Isaac Carrying Stuff on a 1990 Raleigh Technium”

Tortellini alla Giardino
This is a simple recipe that is only partially true to it’s title..it is not entirely alla giardino (from my garden), but there are a few things. Mainly, I’ve had a Swiss chard plant that grows back almost as fast as I eat it (there are worse problems), and the basil is already in fullContinue reading “Tortellini alla Giardino”

Where’s Tony?
Photo found here. In the event that you don’t know who Tony Hayward is, he is the CEO of British Petroleum…you know, the company that is currently responsible for the worst ecological disaster in history (but then again, aren’t we all a little responsible?). That’s him sitting in the middle of the photo above. AndContinue reading “Where’s Tony?”

Bike Van
I came across this photo on the Cycle Recycle Facebook page and thought it was interesting enough to post. What, I wonder, is this person doing with all these bikes attached to a van?

Ride A Bike!
This is an inspiring video by John Burke, president of Trek bikes. I first came across this when I was contemplating putting a 1world2wheels widget on this blog…then I realized that I already do most of the things they suggest (not all, but most…I did drive my truck yesterday…first time in nearly 3 weeks). ThenContinue reading “Ride A Bike!”

A Cleverly Defaced Billboard
I love this…originally posted here, but I came across it at the Urban Country. Appropriate, I thought when I first saw this. I, like many people, have been following the oil spill in the gulf, and most of what I’ve been hearing (other than how to stop this thing) is about alternative methods to extractingContinue reading “A Cleverly Defaced Billboard”

Another Reason To Like Yuba Bikes
I just read that Yuba bikes are offering a stripped down version of their Mundo for $899. What’s really awesome is that when you purchase one of these bikes they donate a complete bike to Wheels4Life, a charity that offers free bikes to those in need in third world countries. The following is cut-and-paste fromContinue reading “Another Reason To Like Yuba Bikes”
