Thoughts on Mobility
The above photo, of course, is my v3 Mundo carrying my son’s Stratocaster. This could be a post in my Things That Can be Carried on a Bike series, but it’s not. More so, this is just a few random thoughts on mobility…or more specifically, on my being car-free. I was carrying my son’s guitarContinue reading “Thoughts on Mobility”

Just a quick note…
Just a quick note to say a couple things. The first is that I will be away from my computer for the next week or so, thus postings will be sporadic if any at all. But also, I just wanted to say thanks for visiting and subscribing to my meager little blog (s). Over theContinue reading “Just a quick note…”
Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#456)…and a quick comment
On the bike…a Fender Stratocaster guitar, two antique picture frames (which I rescued), and a double portion of Chinese take out. A couple quick comments…I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions the many comments I get while riding or parking this bike (and if you ride a long-tail or other cargo bike you understand this completely). TheContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#456)…and a quick comment”

L’Arrotino (The Grinder Bike)
This, I think, is really interesting. A work bicycle of yesterday being built again for today. I originally came across this at Bike Hugger, and apparently it is being built for Nella Cutlery by Winter Bicycles. I’m old enough to remember–when I was a little boy–the vegetable hucksters coming around (by truck not bike) andContinue reading “L’Arrotino (The Grinder Bike)”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#449), a View from My Handlebars, and a Couple Comments
(above photo) A nylon gym bag full of wet clothes, and a BikeRev trailer containing slightly more than $50 in groceries. (below photo) I was on my way home this evening from the health club and grocery store and the weather was just perfect…not-too-hot, not-too-cool, brilliant sun, and not a cloud in the sky. AfterContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#449), a View from My Handlebars, and a Couple Comments”
Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#448)…plus Dominic and his Dog
On the bike (above)…an antique oak table. About the below photo…Generally speaking the Things That Can be Carried on a Bike series are pictures of things that I carry on my bike. But sometimes I photograph other people carrying things with bikes that I find interesting. The below photo is one of them. That’s DominicContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#448)…plus Dominic and his Dog”
Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#446)…and a brief comment
On the bike…a new travel guitar (wrapped in plastic because it was raining lightly and also because it was a birthday present for my son). The brief comment…So if you ride a cargo bike or at least a bike that does not necessarily resemble what a bike in America “should look like” you’re likely usedContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#446)…and a brief comment”

Two Views from my Handlebars
These are two views from my handlebars. The above is in the morning–facing eastward–on my short commute to work, and the below image is in the late afternoon on my way home, facing westward. Both images are on Allen Street in Allentown; the neighborhood in which I both live and work. I enjoy riding aContinue reading “Two Views from my Handlebars”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#443)…and a couple comments
On and being pulled by the bike…$184.67 in groceries. Comment #1…I went to a big box supermarket today, haven’t been to one on a while. Not that I’m boycotting them or anything…I just don’t find them that convenient and would much rather shop in a smaller store. Anyhow, as my merchandise was being rang outContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#443)…and a couple comments”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#441)…plus a quick glance and a couple comments
On the bike…A full tank of propane. Comments…First of all I love the slogan that Yuba often uses, “What a bike can do.” And I love the comments and looks that I often get while carrying stuff on a bike (looks that say…I didn’t know you could do that). The above image is one IContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#441)…plus a quick glance and a couple comments”
