More Reasons to Ride a Bike…
Photo found here. As many of you know, I gave up car ownership almost a year ago, but even before that I was extremely car-lite. I simply find that I would much rather get around by other means when possible, mainly biking and walking. With this said, I also consider this part of my exerciseContinue reading “More Reasons to Ride a Bike…”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#462)
A gym bag full of wet clothes, and about $40 worth of groceries (either the food is getting smaller or my basket is getting bigger because I never used to be able to fit $40 worth of groceries in there…ahh, but of course it is getting more expensive; by the day). Urban Simplicity
Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#461), a brief story, and a couple comments…
On the bike…a gym bag containing wet clothes, and two bottles of red wine. A brief story…I coasted up to the community center at my usual time (and before I had the wine on the bike and wet clothes in the bag), which is also the time that parents often pick up their kids fromContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#461), a brief story, and a couple comments…”
The View from My Handlebars…
I shot this on my way to work this morning. Those clouds looked (and still do look) incredible…sort of like a painting; like the sky was covered with a layer of cotton balls.Urban Simplicity

Something Interesting…and a bit ironic
Okay, so you may be asking yourself why I–on this blog–would have an image promoting the American Automobile Association (AAA). Well, to answer that I have to tell you a brief story. If you’ve been to this blog before you likely know that last year I voluntarily gave up car ownership. Not a big deal;Continue reading “Something Interesting…and a bit ironic”
Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#456), and Two Views from My Handlebars
On the bike…two bottles of red wine and a gym bag containing wet clothes. The views…directly below is a view of Allen and Elmwood, an intersection I usually cross multiple times a day. It was/is cold and wet. Not freezing cold, but halfway freezing. The temp is just above freezing and it has been sortContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#456), and Two Views from My Handlebars”
Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#455)…and a brief comment about the weather
On the bike…more than $100 in groceries and sundries. About the weather…the weather today was fine. Seasonably cold with light flurries; the roads were dry. But what I wanted to mention is something that I noticed…not so much about the weather itself but more so about awareness of it. The reason I mention this isContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#455)…and a brief comment about the weather”

The (two) View(s) from My Handlebars…
This was one of those days when it was such a joy to be on a bike and out in the open air. It was crisp and nice; no precipitation and not much wind. It felt so good to be using my own energy to propel not only me but my bike (and a fewContinue reading “The (two) View(s) from My Handlebars…”
