I’ve ridden the Mule with the new Bread Platform attached for the past week or so (not exclusively because I’m still riding the Mundo), and my overall impressions very favorable. It was very easy to install, it’s sturdy, and it is large…really large for a front rack. It measures 12 inches (30cm) by 17 inchesContinue reading “Thoughts on the New Bread Platform (or luggage carrier)”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#241)…and why my world is small.
Pots, pans, over-sized wire whisks, bowls, plastic buckets, and other small pieces of cooking equipment. (The above photo is one of a trilogy where I catered a party and carried most of the equipment to-and-fro on my bike. To see other photos click here and here.) I could answer the question–statement, I suppose–of why myContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#241)…and why my world is small.”

>Costs of Car Ownership
> Ok, fist you’re probably wondering why I am writing about cars on a blog like this. Well as I’ve said in the past I am not car-free, just car-lite…sometimes lighter than others. I am also not a person that is against you having a car…that’s you’re business not mine. I just find that ridingContinue reading “>Costs of Car Ownership”

>Bobby Ellis
> This is Bobby Ellis. I see him on his bike all the time and thought I’d finally introduce myself. What is interesting about him is not only that he uses his bike for transportation–that’s not that uncommon, after all–but that his bike is his business operation…sort of. If you live in Buffalo you’ve seenContinue reading “>Bobby Ellis”

Age, Dignity, and Bicycling
I’ve used this photo in a post before but like it so much I thought I’d re-post it (It’s borrowed from Sustrans). I thought I’d re-post this photo because I was thinking recently–contemplating, really–about what the hell I’m doing. What I mean by this is why, at nearly 50, do I still prefer to walkContinue reading “Age, Dignity, and Bicycling”

Old Bike Advert

What I like about it is that while it is a poster for CCM bicycles, produced at one time by our friendly neighbors to the north, the only American city where these bikes were made and (soldContinue reading “Old Bike Advert”
