>Things That Can Be Carried on A Bike (#35 & #36)

>Two Cases of Soda (and I don’t even drink soda).Thirty pounds of ice (this was a little challenging on a hot and sunny day…as the ice melted it would shift and loosen the straps…I almost lost the smaller bag twice).This past weekend Buffalo hosted it’s 52nd annual Allentown Art Festival. The street on which IContinue reading “>Things That Can Be Carried on A Bike (#35 & #36)”

James the Ice Creamcycle Dude

Photo culled from the Ice Creamcycle Dude’s facebook page I see this guy riding everywhere…pedaling about a mile and hour, dinging his bell, and always smiling. It always makes me smile when I see him pedaling merrily by. Such a simple concept, one may think…buy a trike with a refrigerated compartment, get a permit, loadContinue reading “James the Ice Creamcycle Dude”

Inappropriate Car Behavior

Photo courtesy of sustrans Like many neighborhoods, the one in which I live was built before the invention of the automobile…many of the streets are narrow and crowded, and for that reason cars sometimes feel out of place (to me)…sometimes the streets simply are not wide enough. Anyhow, I was on my way to workContinue reading “Inappropriate Car Behavior”

An Omelette and a Glass of Wine

Tonight for dinner I was able to pick my first bit of food from the garden (exciting)…mostly herbs, and a few scant leaves of spinach, but food none-the-less. I chopped everything rather coarsely, then sauteed it all in olive oil with garlic…making a sort of cross between sofrito and fines herbs. Then I added theContinue reading “An Omelette and a Glass of Wine”

Urban Beauty

This morning I woke feeling extremely stressed about various things. I know deep down everything always seems to work out OK, but when I’m stressed it’s as if I have blinders on and can’t see the beauty right in front of me. For that reason, when I went to the gym I chose to walkContinue reading “Urban Beauty”

Simplicity in the City

There are many benefits of bicycling (click here for 40 examples…number 10 is my favorite), but one of the most overlooked, I think, is that when you bike (or walk…especially walk) you see things and notice things that would be imposable to see in a car. I had my camera with me today on myContinue reading “Simplicity in the City”
