Is this Ironic (or just circular)?

I think this picture is really interesting but can’t wonder if it’s not a bit ironic. I often ride past this building on my way to a store; it’s the original Pierce Arrow building, which was once the factory of luxury cars by the same name. But what a lot of people don’t realize isContinue reading “Is this Ironic (or just circular)?”

Interfaith Occupation

I hadn’t been to Occupy Buffalo for a couple weeks but heard that this evening they were having an interfaith service and candlelight vigil so I went down. I was impressed with the occupation for a few reasons today. The first is that they are still there…we have had some foul weather and they haveContinue reading “Interfaith Occupation”

A Mid-Autumn Surprise

I found the above berry (and two others) growing in my front yard this morning. Yup, even on this chilly autumn day (big difference in temperature today…feels more like autumn or early winter). I had planted a strawberry plant this past spring and didn’t expect any fruit until next spring. And as I was wheelingContinue reading “A Mid-Autumn Surprise”

An Evening View From My Handlebars…

It was such a beautiful evening tonight as I pedaled home…unseasonably warm for this time of year, not a breeze or cloud to be found, and the nearly full moon shone high in the sky (if you look close you can see a star or planet clearly visible to the moon’s lower left). It wasContinue reading “An Evening View From My Handlebars…”

Rural Simplicity

Photo Credit: Edgard Garrido Carrera   This image has nothing do do with this blog other than it has a girl on bike and I like the photo. There’s something about the image that moves me; it’s very yearning. It makes me want to visit this place. If you’d like to read the NY TimesContinue reading “Rural Simplicity”

Test Your Awareness…

This is really interesting, it’s a test of your awareness…on how well you notice things around you (and yes, it relates to bicycles…you’ll see at the end). It’s only a bit over a minute long . I have to confess that I failed miserably. I’d be interested to hear what others have to say aboutContinue reading “Test Your Awareness…”
