>This is an advertisement for bicycles in 1950’s Britain (I’m guessing)…but where are these advertisements today…especially in the good ole’ US of A (where they are so desperately needed)? Bicycling as a mode of transport is more appropriate than ever before but all I ever see are car commercials. It’s only 22 seconds long andContinue reading “>This Is More Appropriate Than Ever”

It’s Been Snowing…For Days
And days and days. It hasn’t been really heavy snowfalls, just constant and light…if it were rain it would be mist. And with the frigid temperatures it has not melted on the streets, not even the main thoroughfares. It’s been slow-going, that’s for sure. Other than driving my truck today (had to deliver a usedContinue reading “It’s Been Snowing…For Days”

Bicycle Waltz
I came across an inspiring Australian blog today called Situp-Cycle (found it via Copenhagen Cycle Chic), which promotes bikes as a viable mode of transport…and even more importantly (or at least as important) bikes as being more fun if you are sitting in an upright position. It’s a great site, and one which I encourageContinue reading “Bicycle Waltz”

Biking In The Snow
I like to bike in the snow. There, I said it…call me crazy if you have to. I wouldn’t want to do it all the time, nor do I particularly like to bike in near blizzard conditions (like I did the other day), but on a beautiful winter’s day (or night) I enjoy it immensely…itContinue reading “Biking In The Snow”

Where are all the bicycle commercials?
Is it me, or are there a lot of car/truck commercials on during prime-time television? I don’t watch much of the idiot box, and very few sitcoms, but I have to admit I really get a kick out of The Office. At any rate, I was alarmed tonight at how many car adverts there were…thereContinue reading “Where are all the bicycle commercials?”

A Short Talk with Val Kleitz
This is a short talk with Val Kleitz, veteran cargo biker and all around bicycle advocate. The video is only a few minutes long (and probably dated by a few years) but it is truly inspiring. He talks not only about the importance of the (cargo) bike, but also specifics about his. Just another exampleContinue reading “A Short Talk with Val Kleitz”

Merry Christmas
bikeforpeace.org A couple things: Firstly, Merry Christmas! Secondly, I have to admit that I am somewhat of a hypocrite by posting this image because I haven’t ridden a bike in two days (but as I stated before…never said I was car-free, just car-lite). I mostly posted it because I liked the image. But while theContinue reading “Merry Christmas”

The Yuba in front of a beautiful frozen lake (Hoyt Lake, Delaware Park) The Yuba in front of a sea of ugliness. These photos were taken a mere two miles apart, but they might as well be on different planets. And yes, I occasionally shop at a big box…and I am fully aware that itContinue reading “Two Views”

Bicycle Parking
Image found here. I’m assuming from the type of bikes in the photo that this is a Chinese bicycle parking lot (they look, to me, like most of the bikes are Flying Pidgeons). Too bad our American mall parking lots didn’t look a little more like this.

Che Guevera Rode Bike
Photo found at RocBike OK, so it does have a small motor-assist on the bike…but it is Che Guevara.
