>Yesterday I went up to Toronto for a quick 24 hour sojourn. I do this a couple times a year simply for a change of pace; I’ll spend my day/evening alternating between bookstores, cafes, and nightclubs. It’s such an easy trip…under two hours if traffic on the Peace Bridge and the QEW cooperates. I’ve doneContinue reading “>Biking Toronto”

The Helmet Question
OK, here’s the deal. I’ve been an avid biker for more than two decades (closer to three), and I have always worn a helmet…then this past spring, for whatever reason, I just stopped. I had one close call some years back when I was flying down a busy street (today I don’t ride nearly asContinue reading “The Helmet Question”

Bicycle Therapy
This image was found here. I do not understand Portuguese, but the caption of the image at it’s site says, ‘loneliness’, ‘anxiety’, ‘violence’, ‘stress’, ‘depression’…and then there’s the victorious cyclist in the center…sort of like bicycle therapy…works for me.

A Reason To Bike
I love this short video…I identify so much with what the narrator is saying that it could be me speaking (it’s not). It’s only 58 seconds long; if you’re a biker (or not) it is an inspiring little clip on many levels.

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#91), and how to spend a day without a car
$67.00 of groceries from two separate stores carried in four plastic crates. Most times I don’t even think about it, but other times I do…tonight was one of those times. As I was riding home (a bit slower than usual) I was enjoying the cool autumn air on my face and it occurred to meContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#91), and how to spend a day without a car”

Groovy New Cup Holder
Tried it out for the first time this morning…pretty nifty. Splashes a little when going over bumps, though. But what a great way to have a coffee in the morning…coasting through town. It’ll probably work well for other beverages also…hmmm…maybe a (plastic) glass of wine.

Paris 1945
This photo was found here. A tandem pulling pulling a velo-taxi to a swing club…nice! Wish we had these taxis today. The driver looks like he thinks he’s pretty damn cool…wonder where the other bicyclist is.

We’re Finally Getting It.
Last winter newly designed bike racks for the city of Buffalo were unveiled…I posted on it at the time (to read that post, click here). There are a few different designs and two of them are attached to auto parking meters…does anyone besides me see the irony in this? The other is a sort ofContinue reading “We’re Finally Getting It.”
