I am an urban cyclist not only because I think it’s fun (and saves money, the environment, etc.) but also because it makes the most sense…indeed it is often quicker–and less stressful–to get from point A to point B by bike in the city. Anyhow, with that in mind, here’s a couple short videos. TwoContinue reading “Biking in the City: Two Short Videos”

Bicyclists Behaving Badly (and my improper response)
Image found here. Before I begin I have to state a few things in the event you’ve not read this before on this blog. Firstly, while I am a bicycle advocate I am by no means car-free but I am car-lite; sometimes more lite than others…and during the summer months I am nearly car-free. TodayContinue reading “Bicyclists Behaving Badly (and my improper response)”

If anyone knows anything abut this photo (the photographer, who the people are, when/where it was taken) please let meContinue reading “Dear Mister Motorist”

Gary Fisher on Bicycling
Firstly I just want to say that I am not trying to promo Gary Fisher bicycles with this short clip, but more specifically bicycles and bicycling in general. It is a clip of Gary Fisher talking passionately about bicycles (but of course promoting his own line of bikes). I just think it’s a great pro-bicycleContinue reading “Gary Fisher on Bicycling”

Piles of Bikes
I was in the lovely city of Toronto yesterday and as usual was impressed with the sheer number of people I saw on bikes. There are ample bicycle parking spots, and most had a large number of bikes locked to them. There are also a large number of Bixi bicycle share hubs conveniently located throughoutContinue reading “Piles of Bikes”

>"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)”

Inspiring Short Clip
This is a really inspiring short clip about how one of the side benefits of bicycling is staying healthy…I say one of the benefits because there are of course many. Bicycles are more than just a form of transportation…sometimes it’s not about the destination, but the journey itself. .

Strange Coincidence
I’ve been hesitant to share this photo for a while, I’m not sure why…just have. But anyhow, I thought I’d share the story behind it and the somewhat odd coincidences that go along with it. Well, first of all, the man in the picture is Fred Tornow and he is standing in front of myContinue reading “Strange Coincidence”

It’s Never Too Late…
I came across this short but inspiring video at Streetfilms…it’s about a minute-and-a-half long.

A Car-Lite Diet (and why all my bikes are black)
This post is in response to a couple things….one is something that (nearly) happened to me, and the other is a website I came across. But first a bit about my bikes. While I have six bikes I generally only ride three (the three pictured), but all are painted black. I’m thinking about paring myContinue reading “A Car-Lite Diet (and why all my bikes are black)”
