>Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#167 & #168), and a brief story of the misunderstood car driver

> A freshly baked loaf of Roast Red Pepper-Parmesan Bread.A canvas bag containing, among other things, three books, a day planner, and a camera. A quart of milk.A tin of mixed nuts.A can of coffee.A gym bag full of wet clothes.A 15lb canister of propane fuel. So there I was pedaling down Allen Street onContinue reading “>Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#167 & #168), and a brief story of the misunderstood car driver”

Roast Red Pepper-Parmesan Bread Recipe with Photos

This recipe is very simple to make and is really nothing more than a variation of a butter-and-egg bread or a challah recipe. I very rarely follow recipes, but if you need one there’s a basic one included below. The difference (from the recipe to the photos) is that I substituted 1/3 of the flourContinue reading “Roast Red Pepper-Parmesan Bread Recipe with Photos”

Putting a v1 Mundo To The Test

This is a pretty interesting video, especially if you own a cargo bike or Mundo (which I know many of you do). It’s a nine-minute clip of a guy carrying 400lbs of bananas from the Weaver Street Market to a free market…he does it but it looks pretty shaky. It’s still an interesting clip toContinue reading “Putting a v1 Mundo To The Test”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#166), and a few comments

A gym bag full of wet clothes.A bag of dog food.Eight AA batteries.A small brick of cheddar. Yes I’m carrying a small block of cheese on a bike…I know there’s a metaphor here somewhere but it hasn’t come to me yet. My point is this: carrying these small, odd, and random things on a bikeContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#166), and a few comments”

The Buddy Bike

I’ve been seeing this bike parked outside Campus Wheel Works for the past few weeks and it’s intrigued me; the brand name on it is Buddy Bike. My son snapped the picture with his cell phone and sent it to me. It’s an odd sort of side-by-side tandem (rather than in-line)…and quite honestly it looksContinue reading “The Buddy Bike”

Lebanese Inspired Pizza

This isn’t so much a pizza as it is a sort of Middle Eastern flat-bread with flavoring ingredients on it (but then again that’s what pizza is, isn’t it…bread with stuff on it). What this is really is a variation of the Lebanese za’atar bread with a few other ingredients…and geeze o’ man is itContinue reading “Lebanese Inspired Pizza”

A Few Einstein Quotes

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.” “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only after death.” “In the middle of difficulty liesContinue reading “A Few Einstein Quotes”
