> 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 paringContinue reading “>A Car-Lite Diet (and why all my bikes are black)”

Portrait of a Commuter
This is inspiring. I came across it on Street Films. It’s worth the 96 seconds of your time.

>Bicycle Power Calculator
> This is pretty cool (and I originally found it at treehugger). I’m not sure I’ve entirely figured it out, but if you’re at all interested in bicycling as transportation you may find this interesting…it tells you how much energy you have to generate to propel yourself on a bike.

An Inspiration
Meet Octavio Orduño…most likely the world’s oldest cyclist. He’s 103 years old and he rides every day. He traded in his regular two wheeled bicycle for the three wheeled trike just a mere three years ago. He is slightly more than twice my age and some days I complain about the creaks in my kneesContinue reading “An Inspiration”

It’s Not Always About the Destination or How Much I can Carry…
…sometimes it’s just about the ride. With the weather starting to break I’ve been riding my winter bike less and the Mundo more…and for a while (during the deepest, darkest, and coldest days of winter) I nearly forgot how lovely and beautiful this bike is to ride. I had a meeting at church tonight andContinue reading “It’s Not Always About the Destination or How Much I can Carry…”

Why I Like to Carry Things on My Bike(s)
The title to this post should really read: Why I Like to Carry Things on My Bike(s) and Why I Like to Take Pictures of the Things I Carry on My Bikes and Then Sometimes Write About it. But then again I don’t really care for lengthy headings. I’m of course referring to the ThingsContinue reading “Why I Like to Carry Things on My Bike(s)”

2 Bikes, 2 Short Rides, a Snowy Day, and a Change in Road Conditions
This has been a very odd winter in this region…the month of December was frigid and snowy, then it warmed up. Around new years it rained for three days and all the snow melted, and now it’s cold and snowy again. I’ve been riding the Mundo regularly again because of the lack of snow andContinue reading “2 Bikes, 2 Short Rides, a Snowy Day, and a Change in Road Conditions”

A Starry Night, a Minor Confession, and Bicycle Therapy
The Starry Night by Vincent van Gough. The past four days I’ve had off of work; today was my first day back. And being the holiday weekend I had family obligations and barely used my bike(s)…much to my chagrin I mostly drove these past four days. Come to think of it I was barely outContinue reading “A Starry Night, a Minor Confession, and Bicycle Therapy”
