Self Portrait
>Bicycle Waltz
>I came across an inspiring Australian blog today called Situp-Cycle (found it via Copenhagen Cycle Chic), which promotes bikes as a viable mode of transport…and even more importantly (or at least as important) bikes as being more fun if you are sitting in an upright position. It’s a great site, and one which I encourageContinue reading “>Bicycle Waltz”

Blue Dusk
This is a photo of my street about 4pm this evening, just before it became dark. It’s interesting how the color blue is associated with cold…and for a reason, it was (I’m guessing) about 9F. Nonetheless, I find the color beautiful. And there’s really only a short time where it is this color…just as itContinue reading “Blue Dusk”

>Brrr…
>Brrr…it’s cold out there today. When I woke this morning it was a mere 7F…we eventually had a balmy high temperature of 10F (-12c). I had some errands to run and originally thought of doing them by bike…then I thought about it again. Um…I don’t think so. This is frostbite weather…I may be a littleContinue reading “>Brrr…”

>Lebanese Style Chicken and Brown Rice
>This is one of my favorite ways in which to prepare chicken…it’s simple to make, it’s healthy, and the flavors (and aromas) are incredible. What makes this interesting and a little different from many other chicken-and-rice recipes are two things: one is the use of dried and toasted pasta, which gives the dish not onlyContinue reading “>Lebanese Style Chicken and Brown Rice”

Biking In The Snow
I like to bike in the snow. There, I said it…call me crazy if you have to. I wouldn’t want to do it all the time, nor do I particularly like to bike in near blizzard conditions (like I did the other day), but on a beautiful winter’s day (or night) I enjoy it immensely…itContinue reading “Biking In The Snow”

>Where are all the bicycle commercials?
>Is it me, or are there a lot of car/truck commercials on during prime-time television? I don’t watch much of the idiot box, and very few sitcoms, but I have to admit I really get a kick out of The Office. At any rate, I was alarmed tonight at how many car adverts there were…thereContinue reading “>Where are all the bicycle commercials?”

>A Short Talk with Val Kleitz
>This is a short talk with Val Kleitz, veteran cargo biker and all around bicycle advocate. The video is only a few minutes long (and probably dated by a few years) but it is truly inspiring. He talks not only about the importance of the (cargo) bike, but also specifics about his. Just another exampleContinue reading “>A Short Talk with Val Kleitz”
