>This is an inspiring short clip from the SF Bay area…it’s almost an ode to the Yuba Mundo (and other longtails). These truly are the most comfortable and practical bikes. Caution, though…this video may make you want one.

Take The Poll.
If you’ve previously visited this blog you know that as the name suggests it is my feeble attempt at recording my thoughts and promoting living simply in the city…using a bicycle as a serious and viable form of transportation is a large component of this (I think). Anyhow, the month of May is National BikeContinue reading “Take The Poll.”

My thought is this: Try it you may like it, you may feel more free than you have inContinue reading “May Is National Bike Month”

Party, err…Bake Bread Like It’s 1999
After not using it in nearly nine months I recently resurrected my sourdough starter. I’ve had plenty of starters but this is the original, named 799 as in July 1999, the month and year it was conceived. When it is bubbling and fully a live it is truly a beautiful thing to behold…yup it’s thatContinue reading “Party, err…Bake Bread Like It’s 1999”

Employee Meal 4.28.10
Baked Fish with Lemon, Tomato, Olive Oil, White Wine, Fresh Breadcrumbs, and Herbs. Served it with Toasted Orzo Pilaf. Made fishcakes out of leftovers and sauteed them in butter…not sure which tasted better. Urban Simplicity.

A Quick Note On The Mundo Side-Stand
Stands for cargo bikes are an essential component. And if I had to sum up my thoughts about this side-stand (or kick-stand) I could say it in one simple statement: I am impressed. On my v1 Mundo I had a bi-pod stand, which worked good but not great…the bike could sometimes fall over if fullyContinue reading “A Quick Note On The Mundo Side-Stand”

What A Difference A Day Makes
These flowers are in the front yard next door to mine; they grow next to the hitching post where I lock up my bikes (click here to see it last winter). Yesterday these flowers were closed, not tightly but definitely not open like they are in the photos. Anyhow, after a crazy-busy day at workContinue reading “What A Difference A Day Makes”
