John Kemp Starley (and a bit of bicycle history)
This is a bit of bicycle history that I just learned and thought it interesting enough to share. It’s common knowledge that many of today’s car companies began as bicycle companies (including Buffalo’s Pierce-Arrow), and that the first car builders were in fact former bicycle mechanics. Well this apparently reaches all the way back toContinue reading “John Kemp Starley (and a bit of bicycle history)”

Tell Congress: Make walking and biking safe!
The following is cut-and-paste from Transportation For America website. In the last 15 years, 76,000 Americans have been killed while walking or crossing a street – too many of our roads are built for cars only. But thousands of people are stepping up to make biking and walking safe. Rep. Earl Blumenauer introduced a pieceContinue reading “Tell Congress: Make walking and biking safe!”

This Made Me Smile
I came across this short clip at 24 Oranges, it’s a video of a couple, then a few, then a bunch of people casually biking through the city of Tilburg. I was feeling a little grumpy today and when I watched this video it made me smile so I thought I’d share it. This isContinue reading “This Made Me Smile”

Isaac Looking Cool with My 1990 Raleigh Technium
This is my teenage son with my 20-year-old Raleigh hybrid. We dragged out of the basement, pumped up the tires and tuned it up a bit. I haven’t ridden this bike for a couple years. For years this was my main bike; I must have logged thousands of miles on it. I took it forContinue reading “Isaac Looking Cool with My 1990 Raleigh Technium”

This Inspires Me (Too)
If there is a more inspiring slide show out there about longtail bikes I’m not aware of it. I originally posted this short clip last year and just recently watched it again. It moved me just the same this time. If you are at all interested in bikes as a viable mode of transport (whichContinue reading “This Inspires Me (Too)”

It’s on Its Way
Photo Found Here Just got word from the good people at Yuba that my order is being processed, which I’m assuming means is ready to be shipped. I ordered the bike more than a month ago and had to wait because I ordered the stylish matte black variety. Most of my bikes are paintedContinue reading “It’s on Its Way”

A Very Close Call
Photo found here. I have a scary story to relate and am still a little shaken by it. But first I have to say that the above photo is not the person I mention in the story. I don’t know who the person was in real life nor do I know who the personContinue reading “A Very Close Call”
