I was in Toronto this past weekend, and as usual was impressed with the city for many reasons: its multiculturalism, it’s friendliness, it’s vibrancy and cleanliness, but mostly it’s robust bike culture.

>Snow, More Snow, a Peeve, a Link or Two, and Few Other Things

>OK. I know I live in Buffalo, NY. I am fully aware of its reputation for snow, but enough already…it has been snowing for the past 24 hours. It’s not been full throttle–if it were rain it would be labeled as a drizzle–but it has been non-stop. Here’s a couple of photos; first daytime, thenContinue reading “>Snow, More Snow, a Peeve, a Link or Two, and Few Other Things”

Car Walking

Here’s a not-so-secret, secret: as much as I proclaim the many benefits of riding bikes and walking I still own a vehicle. It’s an old one (I’ll give you a hint…it’s older than my teenage son), but I still have one. And this winter I’ve been using it more than usual (is it the frigidContinue reading “Car Walking”

>Snowy Ride on the Mule and Kidnapped Snakes

>I love hauling stuff on bikes…it gives me such a sense of accomplishment, of satisfaction. For various reasons I haven’t been on any of my bikes for a few days and was determined to ride one today. Our meditation group met at at our church tonight, which is only about a mile from my house,Continue reading “>Snowy Ride on the Mule and Kidnapped Snakes”

Yuba Ride

The above photos are actually re-posts from this past summer/fall (and yes, that is corn growing in my front yard…for the newcomer to this blog you can see more about my front yard corn here). I was inspired to re-post them after coming across the below video. It’s an interview with Benjamin, the founder ofContinue reading “Yuba Ride”

Snowy Ride

I knew full well what I was getting myself into when I rode my bike to work this morning…the newscasters have been telling of this storm for a couple days…schools were closed this morning before it even hit. When I left at 7:00am it was overcast with just a few flakes in the air. HowContinue reading “Snowy Ride”

>Autumnal Food and My First Snowy Ride on the Mundo

>Bread For Thanksgiving Dinner I am truly blessed in that I have three lovely sisters who give me the day off on Thanksgiving. The only things that I am required to do are bring freshly baked bread and carve the bird. I know that my younger sister likes roast red pepper bread, so I usuallyContinue reading “>Autumnal Food and My First Snowy Ride on the Mundo”

>My New S.U.B (and how I built a stylish custom top deck for under twenty bucks)

>Well, I finally did it. After months of hemming and hawing (as to whether I should purchase another bike…this makes six), I finally did it. I ordered my Mundo Yuba. And I gotta say that it’s pretty exciting. It was a little intimidating putting it together. I’m a pretty handy guy, but I’ve never putContinue reading “>My New S.U.B (and how I built a stylish custom top deck for under twenty bucks)”
