Five Bikes on a Bike

Five bikes on a bike…sounds like there’s a pun here somewhere. Anyhow, this is a photo from virtual friend and fellow Mundo rider James, in Yokohama, Japan. He operates a bike rental business there and uses his Mundo to transport bikes. He posted this pic on his blog and I thought I’d re-post it. I’veContinue reading “Five Bikes on a Bike”

A Salad Worth Fighting For

The above photo is the first (mostly) complete meal I’ve made from my front-yard garden this season. I say mostly complete because not everything in it was from the garden. Being early in the season (and the fact that I got a late start), the garden has a small amount of a lot of differentContinue reading “A Salad Worth Fighting For”

Home Built Cargo Bikes

As you can imagine I am always intrigued when I see other people being resourceful and carrying things on their bikes, especially when they are home-built. The above photos are of Ed and Eva. I’ve seen Ed riding around the neighborhood for a log time and today was riding past him as he waited outsideContinue reading “Home Built Cargo Bikes”

Five Quotes From Ernest Hemingway

When I was a young and impressionable man two writers in particular had a great effect on my life: Jack Kerouac and Ernest Hemingway. Like them or not, they both had their own style of writing and didn’t follow others; individualism, I believe, is a virtue hidden in all of us but we often stifleContinue reading “Five Quotes From Ernest Hemingway”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#328 & #329)

#328 (top)…an empty cardboard box, and extra bike, and an extra helmet. #329 (bottom)…a cardboard box containing approximately $32.00 in groceries, and a Fender Stratocaster in a hard-shell case. These photos were taken from the same trip–to and fro–here’s the quick story behind it. I had to pick my son up from his guitar lessonContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#328 & #329)”

Front Yard Wheat

This is a picture of a continuation of two previous posts (click here and here) regarding my garden experiment for 2011…front yard wheat. It’s only a small patch to see if it would grow–it is–so maybe next year there will be more. There won’t be nearly enough to make enough flour for a loaf ofContinue reading “Front Yard Wheat”
