Biking In The Snow

I like to bike in the snow. There, I said it…call me crazy if you have to. I wouldn’t want to do it all the time, nor do I particularly like to bike in near blizzard conditions (like I did the other day), but on a beautiful winter’s day (or night) I enjoy it immensely…itContinue reading “Biking In The Snow”

Where are all the bicycle commercials?

Is it me, or are there a lot of car/truck commercials on during prime-time television? I don’t watch much of the idiot box, and very few sitcoms, but I have to admit I really get a kick out of The Office. At any rate, I was alarmed tonight at how many car adverts there were…thereContinue reading “Where are all the bicycle commercials?”

He talks not only about the importance of the (cargo) bike, but also specifics about his. Just another exampleContinue reading “A Short Talk with Val Kleitz”

Venison and Vegetable Stew

A co-worker gave me a venison roast the other day from a freshly killed deer. He labeled the package “steak” but when I opened it it was a roast. With the leanness of these animals the only way to tenderize a roast is through a moist heat cooking method, thus I made a stew. IContinue reading “Venison and Vegetable Stew”

Merry Christmas

bikeforpeace.org A couple things: Firstly, Merry Christmas! Secondly, I have to admit that I am somewhat of a hypocrite by posting this image because I haven’t ridden a bike in two days (but as I stated before…never said I was car-free, just car-lite). I mostly posted it because I liked the image. But while theContinue reading “Merry Christmas”
