The Power of the Bicycle…
I take so many things for granted. And when I whine about my measly discomforts I should be ashamed. This video, I think, is amazing. For additional inspirational videos on the usefulness of the bicycle in Africa, visit World Bicycle Relief. Urban Simplicity.

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#397)…and a couple brief comments
On the bike…two slices of pizza; need some fuel after hauling all that wood 🙂 So while I truly love living in my hometown–especially my neighborhood—Buffalo is not exactly known as especially bicycle friendly (but it is getting better…way better).

Bike-Friendly NYC
These are a few photos I took on my most recent trip to NYC. Though I’ve never lived there I–like multitudes–have been going to NY for decades.
