A Mid-Autumn Surprise

I found the above berry (and two others) growing in my front yard this morning. Yup, even on this chilly autumn day (big difference in temperature today…feels more like autumn or early winter). I had planted a strawberry plant this past spring and didn’t expect any fruit until next spring. And as I was wheelingContinue reading “A Mid-Autumn Surprise”

Another View From My Handlebars (and another reason I like to ride a bike)

The above image is one I took while waiting for the traffic light to change earlier this evening; I was at the corner of Allen Street and Elmwood Avenue (here), which is not only one of my favorite intersections in our city but also the heart of the Allentown neighborhood and the one in whichContinue reading “Another View From My Handlebars (and another reason I like to ride a bike)”

It wasContinue reading “An Evening View From My Handlebars…”

Rural Simplicity

Photo Credit: Edgard Garrido Carrera   This image has nothing do do with this blog other than it has a girl on bike and I like the photo. There’s something about the image that moves me; it’s very yearning. It makes me want to visit this place. If you’d like to read the NY TimesContinue reading “Rural Simplicity”

Test Your Awareness…

This is really interesting, it’s a test of your awareness…on how well you notice things around you (and yes, it relates to bicycles…you’ll see at the end). It’s only a bit over a minute long . I have to confess that I failed miserably. I’d be interested to hear what others have to say aboutContinue reading “Test Your Awareness…”

100% Whole Wheat-Honey-Brown Rice Bread

This bread is another example of whole wheat bread that is not only really delicious, but super nutritious as well. That’s them pictured above after just being placed in the oven…beautiful, aren’t they? It is easier to make than the recipe may seem at first glance, and the resulting bread is as soft and airyContinue reading “100% Whole Wheat-Honey-Brown Rice Bread”
