I was walking down the street the other day and saw this lone wheel sitting at the edge of the pavement, and as I often do I had my camera with me so I snapped a shot. I wonder two things: What was it doing there and why did nobody pick it up. At anyContinue reading “Lone Wheel”

Tattooed Mike and his Boom Box Trike (and why I love this neighborhood)
This past weekend was the Allentown Art Festival and the Allen West Festival here in Buffalo. If you’ve never visited our city, Allentown (click here and here) is a small village within a medium sized city (but getting smaller). I’ve heard people use the analogy that Allentown is our version of Greenwich Village, but IContinue reading “Tattooed Mike and his Boom Box Trike (and why I love this neighborhood)”

Bicycles, Prosperity, Economy
I came across this old advert here and thought it was interesting enough to share (I wonder it’s date and what it was originally intended for)…whatever the year or its intent, it seems just as relevant today (if not more so).

Bike Share
I had mentioned in an earlier post about a recent day trip to Toronto and how I was impressed not only with the amount of people on bikes, but also the somewhat new bike-share program called Bixi (click here or here to read more about Bixi).

"High Seventies" (and truly inspiring)
Here’s another inspiring short clip from Streetfilms. This one profiles Lucette Gilbert, a French woman living in New York who (in her own words) is in her very high seventies…and she still commutes by bike to work. Not only is it inspiring what she has to say about biking but more so in her movements…lookContinue reading “"High Seventies" (and truly inspiring)”

Bike To Work Week
According the The League of American Bicyclists the entire month of May is national Bike Month and this week is national Bike to Work Week. Too bad it’s been raining a heavy non-stop downpour for the past 36 hours, and that I’ve had some sort of stomach bug that has more or less slowed meContinue reading “Bike To Work Week”

$0.00 Per Gallon
As I’ve mentioned many many times before on this blog I am not entirely car-free, but mostly. I feel I sometimes have to restate this in the event their are any new readers that happened to stumble upon this blog and are of the militant bicycle set, which I do not consider myself. Everyone hasContinue reading “$0.00 Per Gallon”
