The book, Wild Fermentation, a u-lock, a 6ft cable lock, and 19 bricks. Firstly, no I did not think that those measly bungee cords would hold the bricks if I banked too far or hit a large bump…they mostly just kept them in place (and I surely did not want a repeat of what happenedContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#315)…and a couple of comments.”

Pot Cuisine (for those who claim they can’t cook)
OK…first of all, what I meant by “pot cuisine” was this type of pot, not this type, but I got your attention didn’t I? And why I also say this is for people who claim they can’t cook is because I believe anyone can cook…and this is a perfect example of how easy good cookingContinue reading “Pot Cuisine (for those who claim they can’t cook)”

Piles of Bikes
I was in the lovely city of Toronto yesterday and as usual was impressed with the sheer number of people I saw on bikes. There are ample bicycle parking spots, and most had a large number of bikes locked to them. There are also a large number of Bixi bicycle share hubs conveniently located throughoutContinue reading “Piles of Bikes”

The Good Neighbor
This post is a first for me in that I am showing something being carried in my truck. In the more than 3 years I’ve had this blog I have never showed a picture of my vehicle and prefer to post about pro-bicycle/human transport instead. As regular readers of this blog know, I also preferContinue reading “The Good Neighbor”

The Past or the Future
Now is this cool or what? These photos were taken in 1930 (found them here and here). Living in a four-season region I am often concerned about the weather (especially rain)…this would solve that problem. As the price of petrol eventually becomes too costly for the average person maybe we’ll begin to see vehicles likeContinue reading “The Past or the Future”

>Five Quotes and a Song from Bob Dylan
> Bob Dylan is a favorite singer-songwriter of mine so it’s only appropriate that I post about him as he reaches the milestone of 70 years on this earth. The internet, of course, abounds with videos of him (some great, some not-so-great, and some where he seems almost like a parody of himself), but theContinue reading “>Five Quotes and a Song from Bob Dylan”
