>Ok, this may seem silly, but for as long as I have been riding through bone-chilling Buffalo winters I have not worn any sort of eye protection…I can’t tell you how many snow showers I’ve squinted through. I’ve seen other people biking with ski goggles and thought about that, but then the other day IContinue reading “>I Can See Clearly Now”

Oh, the Irony
Well I never thought I’d be posting a short clip of a car commercial on this blog…but here I am doing just that. During another evening of being bombarded with auto commercials I found this one truly intriguing (but I ask again, where are the bike commercials). A couple things about this commercial. Firstly, didContinue reading “Oh, the Irony”

Propeller Trike
Um…I’m not so sure about this. I’m all for ingenuity and human-powered transport, but I see some real issues here. Image found here.

Ezekiel Bread
“Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself.”—Ezekiel 4:9 (NIV) (If you are coming upon this post via a search engine you can find an updated version of this recipe here.) This is by far one of my mostContinue reading “Ezekiel Bread”

>“Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself.”—Ezekiel 4:9 (NIV) This is by far one of my most favorite breads. No, not just because it is mentioned in the Bible (there are many references to bread in the Bible).Continue reading “>Ezekiel Bread”
Penne Fra Diavolo with Halibut
Pasta Fra Diavolo is one of my favorite pasta dishes…I love any type of pasta with tomato and seafood. Traditionally this is made with either shrimp or lobster, but I made it with halibut because that’s what I had at hand. The name, fra diavolo, translates from Italian as “brother devil,” and there are numerousContinue reading “Penne Fra Diavolo with Halibut”

Bicycles Are For Everyday…Not Just The Weekend
A great interview with David Hembrow on using bikes as an everyday mode of transport. The video was found at David’s blog, A View From The Cycle Path.

Bicycles Are Useful In Many Ways
Sure bikes can move a person (or persons) from one place to another using their own power, and yes they can carry things, but they can also do other stuff…like power a knife grinder. The above photo and short video below are of an African fellow who not only powers a bike-powered knife grinder (ofContinue reading “Bicycles Are Useful In Many Ways”

This Is More Appropriate Than Ever
This is an advertisement for bicycles in 1950’s Britain (I’m guessing)…but where are these advertisements today…especially in the good ole’ US of A (where they are so desperately needed)? Bicycling as a mode of transport is more appropriate than ever before but all I ever see are car commercials. It’s only 22 seconds long andContinue reading “This Is More Appropriate Than Ever”

It’s Been Snowing…For Days
And days and days. It hasn’t been really heavy snowfalls, just constant and light…if it were rain it would be mist. And with the frigid temperatures it has not melted on the streets, not even the main thoroughfares. It’s been slow-going, that’s for sure. Other than driving my truck today (had to deliver a usedContinue reading “It’s Been Snowing…For Days”

Winter’s Beauty
I was on my way walking to the health club tonight (geeze was it cold) when I looked up and saw this tree; it was dusk and I was under a streetlight. It stopped me in my tracks. Its barrenness almost seemed to glow against the backdrop of the nearly-dark sky, with its branches reachingContinue reading “Winter’s Beauty”
