Well, the party is over…or at least the mild weather is. Cold blowing snow has arrived. That’s a picture of the Mundo as I left for work this morning. I usually don’t ride this bike during heavy snow. One would think–that because of its weight and length–that it would be good in the snow. It’sContinue reading “Snowy Commute”

La Luna
Technically, the moon was full two nights ago but I took these last night when it was waning (it still looked pretty full to me). I have always been drawn to a full moon…not sure why, it just fascinates me looming so large in the sky. Anyhow, last night I was out on the MundoContinue reading “La Luna”

More Interesting Bikes
I came across these bikes on east 10th Street last evening while looking for the former residence of Kahlil Gibran (more on that in a later post). For those of you reading this that happen to live in a large metropolis (or a small one that is “bicycle progressive”) seeing bikes like this parked curbsideContinue reading “More Interesting Bikes”
Interesting Old Bike
I love old bikes…especially those that are still in use. This is an example; I came across it locked to a stand in Greenwich Village last night. In a city like New York you see plenty of old bike leaning around (probably less likely to get stolen than a shiny new one), but what caughtContinue reading “Interesting Old Bike”

A cardboard box containing three loaves of just-baked and still-warm Ezekiel Bread (I let them cool off on the ride home…9F/-12C outside as I rode home). Two plastic dough rising buckets (one my way to work this morning one held the bubbling Ezekiel biga and the other its autolyse). For Ezekiel Bread Recipes, or forContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#386)”
Cargo Trikes of Shanghai
Photo Credit: Alain Delorme I came across these photos recently at The Daily Beast. They are photographs of cargo trikes in Shanghai by photographer Alain Delorme. Incredible, right? They are so crisp they almost look like paintings. You can see 6 or 7 others by the same photographer at this site. After I saw theseContinue reading “Cargo Trikes of Shanghai”

Chairs on a Bike
I came across this photo at ClassicCopenhagen (Thanks Sandra!). I find this image inspiring on so many levels, but manly that it illustrates that all sorts of things can be carried on a bike…no matter your age. To see a few of the things that I’ve carried on a bike, click here. Urban Simplicity.

Sometimes I Forget…
Sometimes I forget. Often actually. And it’s easy to do because I’m on it everyday. What I’m talking about is my bike, or at east one of them. Specifically I am talking about the Mundo and how long it is (or at least how different it is from most other bikes); that it is aContinue reading “Sometimes I Forget…”
