I came across these two old school cruisers parked a block apart, and both were locked to parking meters. They (the owners) must be together (maybe they had a spat)…what are the odds. Nice old bikes (I bet they weigh almost as much as a Mundo); click it for a larger view.

Uncertain Ride
The above picture is a closeup of the front tire on my Mundo. Yup…looks like I’m about to have a blow out. I noticed it as I was putting a little air in the tires today. By the looks of it, it looks as if I swiped the tire against something (note the other marksContinue reading “Uncertain Ride”

Reluctant Self-Portrait, 5 July 2011
I took this photo while on holiday in Seattle with my son recently…it was the slogan in the window of a new condo across from our hotel. I originally took the photo because I liked the phrase–I do believe change is good and that it is also good to challenge yourself and the status quo–butContinue reading “Reluctant Self-Portrait, 5 July 2011”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#340)
$62.57 in groceries in a Bike Rev trailer (had to test out the new high pressure tires). Go Home.

After the Rain…
By now regular readers of this blog have probably figured that I enjoy taking photos; I have since I’ve been a teen. I gave it up for a few years–for various reasons–but with the ease of digital cameras today I’d be hard pressed to find out why a person wouldn’t want to take pictures…take aContinue reading “After the Rain…”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#339)
Two new tires and a new inner tube. There’s something really satisfying to me when a bike carries not only the rider but also it’s own new parts (even on a small bike).

Love at First Bite
No I am not turning into a vampire, I’m referring to the first bite of tomatoes from my garden this year. It’s sort of a ritual of mine to eat the first tomato of the season straight from the vine, which I did tonight (the one in the foreground). Though I have a fair amountContinue reading “Love at First Bite”

Biking in the City: Two Short Videos
I am an urban cyclist not only because I think it’s fun (and saves money, the environment, etc.) but also because it makes the most sense…indeed it is often quicker–and less stressful–to get from point A to point B by bike in the city. Anyhow, with that in mind, here’s a couple short videos. TwoContinue reading “Biking in the City: Two Short Videos”

Cabbage: Two Views
Maybe I’m a little strange (OK, I am a little strange) but I find this truly beautiful. Two cabbage plants in the front yard on a warm evening as the sun was hitting them just right…almost sensual aren’t they? (Click the image for a larger view.) I see home-grown autumn sauerkraut and kim-chi in myContinue reading “Cabbage: Two Views”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#337 & #338)
A canvas book bag containing various books and writing implements, 4lbs of raw whole wheat bread dough, a large bunch of fresh dill and oregano (from my garden), a large munch of cilantro/coriander from a neighbors garden, and a 10lb. pork leg (fresh ham) from T-Meadow Farm (thanks Christa).
