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)”

Food for Thought (a pro-bike post)
I found these images at various locations with a simple Google search. As many of you know I’ve been car-lite for years and am recently car-free. It’s interesting that I’ve been without a car for nearly two months and I barely notice it (this winter will be the true test). And I realize that ifContinue reading “Food for Thought (a pro-bike post)”

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”

On the bike…A cardboard box containing a dozen eggs, a half-gallon of milk, a half gallon of orange juice, and a small canvas bag that contains–among other things–a book, a magazine, and a camera. And on the rear rack, two bags of dog food; 4 lbs, each. Below is a picture of what I sawContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#447) and a View from My Handlebars”
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”

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”
