> I just read at the site of The League of American Cyclists that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill stating that April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month…an excellent move, no doubt. According to the website of CBS News, more than 6000 people were killed in 2009 by distracted drivers. ClickContinue reading “>April is National Distracted Driver Awareness Month”

Great Bicycle Advert by Biomega
I love this…it’s a bicycle advert by Biomega and it truly embodies the concept of the bicycle as freedom (I think). Urban Simplicity

The Boda-Boda of Uganda
This is a short and truly inspiring documentary about the Boda-Boda (bicycle taxis/couriers) of Uganda and Kenya. The documentary is available in 4 sections, the first being below (the entire documentary is for sale here). To view the remaining 3 sections click here. It was written/directed by Jason Morris, whose mother is a Christian MinisterContinue reading “The Boda-Boda of Uganda”

Saint Ray
Photo copied from the U.S Secretary of Transportation No, I am not implying that Ray LaHood is a bona fide Saint (no more than each of us, mere mortals, I suppose). But what I mean by the title of this post is that finally (finally!) there is someone in the U.S government lobbying for equalContinue reading “Saint Ray”

> A new ceiling exhaust fan. This is my 150th post of Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike and I have a few thoughts going on in my head. One is that I really feel a lot of things can be carried on a bike…most of the things that can be carried inContinue reading “>Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#150)…with a few comments”

The Trike is on the Road Again
You may have read my post about the recently sold trike…it’s a good machine but definitely needed some TLC. The new owners are Andreea and Jason. When I sold it I asked them if they would send a photo or two of the trike when it was refurbished. Well the trike made a speedy recoveryContinue reading “The Trike is on the Road Again”

Ride A Bike That You Truly Like
I know this may seem silly, but the other day as I was happily pedaling around town on my Mundo the words of the title to this post came to me: Ride a bike that you like. It may seem obvious, but I don’t think it’s overtly so. Now this too may be a rashContinue reading “Ride A Bike That You Truly Like”

Bicycle Parade 1883
I came across this photo at Time Out New York. I was immediately drawn to the photograph, but the story that accompanies it is somewhat tragic…it regards the phenomenon of 19th century road rage against bicyclists. Click here to go to the site and read the story. It’s interesting that I came across this afterContinue reading “Bicycle Parade 1883”

Bicycles Matter (and a little self-promotion)
Photo Credit: KC Kratt A couple things: First is that I rarely publish photos of myself on this blog. I don’t know why, I just don’t. And the second is that I also have difficulty with self-promotion. But I’m doing both of these things in this post. The above photo of me carrying crates onContinue reading “Bicycles Matter (and a little self-promotion)”

Cigno la Bicicletta (and their lovely advertisment)
I first came across this short clip at Copenhagen Cycle Chic. It’s a commercial for the Italian bicycle company, Cigno. They have many beautiful bikes but this is specifically marketing their Seventy, an elegant folding bike. It has long been a personal gripe of mine that there are so many car commercials but I’ve yetContinue reading “Cigno la Bicicletta (and their lovely advertisment)”
