>A gym bag full of wet clothes.Four pounds of dog food.Two Christmas cards.A small book.An extra long cable lock. You may not be able to tell from this photo but man was it a cold ride tonight…the first ride this season where I had to put a scarf over my mouth as not to breathContinue reading “>Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#116)”

Repair vs. Recycle
I came across this manifesto at Open Bicycle (click it to make it larger)…It really makes you think, at least it did to me. I always feel I’m “doing my part” when I recycle (and feel guilty if I don’t). But just imagine if we didn’t recycle (or replace things)…we repaired them. The simplest exampleContinue reading “Repair vs. Recycle”

Cars Make People Crazy
This is a rash generalization, but…what is the deal with drivers and bicyclists? Do they (or at least many) really think that they, because they are in a car and I am on a bike, automatically have the right of way and in any circumstance? Do they automatically think that because they are in aContinue reading “Cars Make People Crazy”

A Small Confession
I have a small confession to make. This is not really that big of a deal, I suppose, but it is well within the original post for this blog two years ago regarding the two mile challenge. Today, after rushing around work all day I had planned on going to the health club as IContinue reading “A Small Confession”

Urban Simplicity Recipes @ Buffalo Spree
For years people have told me I need to promote myself more (why? is always my response). Maybe it’s the whole “celebrity chef” thing (does anyone besides me see the oxymoronic irony in that phrase…to read a more lengthy article on my view of this click here). OK, sorry, I’ll get off my little soapbox.Continue reading “Urban Simplicity Recipes @ Buffalo Spree”

Multi-Grain Pizza and Two Loaves of Bread
If you are a regular reader of this blog you know two things about me. One is that I like to ride bikes, and the other is that I like to bake and eat homemade bread…a lot. I eat some sort of bread product at almost every meal and have not purchased a loaf inContinue reading “Multi-Grain Pizza and Two Loaves of Bread”

Bike Parody
This is very funny…it’s a rap song that pokes fun at both the spandex-clad speedster and the fixed-gear hipster…I laughed out loud (I also watched it twice). I found this short clip at The Practical Cyclist’s Blog.

Human- Powered Snowplow
Now this is really cool (cold actually…pun intended). It’s amazing what things creative people can come up with…and it’s amazing how many things can be human powered. I wonder how effective it actually is. At any rate, if I had one of these things I’d be praying for snow.

Clay Pot Chicken
The 30th president of our country, Herbert Hoover, once uttered these famous words of hope and positive thought for our nation as we went through tough times of another era: “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Now I of course agree with the first half of the sentence but notContinue reading “Clay Pot Chicken”
