>A model for the rest of us. When I see clips like this it actually makes me want to walk and ride more even though there are so few of us (compared to a city like Copenhagen)…my theory is that the more people see others walking and riding bikes the more it will make themContinue reading “>Copenhagen’s Car-Free Streets & Slow-Speed Zones”

Bike Becomes Rack
I’ve seen this a few times before and happened to have my camera with me today so I snapped a shot. It’s an old ten-speed that is cemented into someone’s front lawn on Porter Avenue here in Buffalo. The first time I saw this I just assumed it was a sculpture or someone’s personal monumentContinue reading “Bike Becomes Rack”

>Take The Pledge (we really need it)
> This site/campaign has been all over Facebook this past week. It is overtly suggested towards people in the U.S., the biggest gas guzzlers on the planet, but I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt if others took this pledge as well…we may live in separate countries–and indeed have distinct languages and cultures–but we are all connectedContinue reading “>Take The Pledge (we really need it)”

I originally came across it in a magazine more than 10 years ago, and have it hanging in a small frame in my kitchen.

Copenhagen: an example for North America
This is an incredibly inspirational 10 minute film about the bicycling infrastructure in Copenhagen viewd through the eyes (mostly) by North Americans. I love it. I wish it were there. In the States, especially smaller cities like the one in which I live, there are plenty of times when I am the only cyclist onContinue reading “Copenhagen: an example for North America”

Rain Riding
This evening after work I rode the Mundo to return a DVD that was due (lest I pay a late fee). Throughout the day today the humidity was so heavy the air had a certain haze to it. Rain was predicted but I was hoping I could make it home prior. As I made itContinue reading “Rain Riding”

My Two Cents
Photo Credit: Salim Virji via Streetsblog.net via Flicker I mostly try to keep things on the positive side when posting on this blog (because I feel there is enough–way too much–negativity bombarding us these days) but every so often something annoys me enough that I have to hop up on my little soap boxContinue reading “My Two Cents”

Big Guy on a Trike
I was walking down Elmwood Avenue today (yes, believe it or not I choose to walk rather than ride a bike) when I saw this guy coming at me on the sidewalk. I had my camera with me so I snapped a picture. He saw me take his picture, nodded, then rode past me doingContinue reading “Big Guy on a Trike”

It’s the Little Things
I saw this sign after walking across the Golden Gate Bridge last week with my son. It’s at the entrance to a stairway leading under the bridge and to the other side (so you don’t have to cross the hellish traffic). The stairs are long and steep so there is a ramp provided for bicyclistsContinue reading “It’s the Little Things”
