A Few Thoughts on Theology, Car Ownership, and Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#468)

Yup. That’s me in the above photo. Very rarely do I post pictures of myself on this blog but here’s one. And what’s even more odd is that it shows me getting into a car. My son took the photo of me getting into a Buffalo Car Share car last weekend. But as usual, I’mContinue reading “A Few Thoughts on Theology, Car Ownership, and Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#468)”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#467)…and a couple quick comments

On the bike…A double portion of Chinese take-out, two bottles of red wine, and more than $200 worth of groceries in two cardboard boxes and a BikeRev trailer from three separate stores. A couple quick comments…the first thing is that tomorrow is the first time in about three months I’ll be using a car (viaContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#467)…and a couple quick comments”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#461)

Ten split logs (firewood), an axe, a small shovel, a 3lb. mallet, and a canvas bag containing–among other things–a book, a magazine, a cell phone, and an extra camera. Urban Simplicity.

Things That Can be Carried ona Bike (#460)…and a quick comment

On the bike…Groceries, sundries, cleaning supplies, wine, dog food and dog care products in and on two cardboard boxes and in a trailer from three separate stores. A brief comment…This is mostly but not entirely referring to a previous post where I carried home a log on a bike. Things that can be carried onContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried ona Bike (#460)…and a quick comment”

Thoughts on Mobility

The above photo, of course, is my v3 Mundo carrying my son’s Stratocaster. This could be a post in my Things That Can be Carried on a Bike series, but it’s not. More so, this is just a few random thoughts on mobility…or more specifically, on my being car-free.  I was carrying my son’s guitarContinue reading “Thoughts on Mobility”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#457)

Four picture frames (wrapped in plastic and paper). A canvas bag containing two books, an electronic reader, a journal, two new mechanical pencils, two sets of reading glasses, and a four-pack of printer ink cartridges (black and all three colors). A two pound canister of oatmeal, a pound of ground coffee, a quart of milk,Continue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#457)”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#456)…and a quick comment

On the bike…a Fender Stratocaster guitar, two antique picture frames (which I rescued), and a double portion of Chinese take out. A couple quick comments…I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions the many comments I get while riding or parking this bike (and if you ride a long-tail or other cargo bike you understand this completely). TheContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#456)…and a quick comment”

A View from My Handlebars (five photos of Delaware Park)

Yesterday, after rushing around a hot kitchen and facing a stove for much of the day, I was happy to have the evening off with such wonderful weather. I was on the Mundo and  had to run a few errands so I took a shortcut (read, long-cut) through Delaware Park to make the ride aContinue reading “A View from My Handlebars (five photos of Delaware Park)”

Food for Thought (a pro-bike post)

I found these images at various locations with a simple Google search. As many of you know I’ve been car-lite for years and am recently car-free. It’s interesting that I’ve been without a car for nearly two months and I barely notice it (this winter will be the true test). And I realize that ifContinue reading “Food for Thought (a pro-bike post)”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#448)…plus Dominic and his Dog

On the bike (above)…an antique oak table. About the below photo…Generally speaking the Things That Can be Carried on a Bike series are pictures of things that I carry on my bike. But sometimes I photograph other people carrying things with bikes that I find interesting. The below photo is one of them. That’s DominicContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#448)…plus Dominic and his Dog”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#446)…and a brief comment

On the bike…a new travel guitar (wrapped in plastic because it was raining lightly and also because it was a birthday present for my son). The brief comment…So if you ride a cargo bike or at least a bike that does not necessarily resemble what a bike in America “should look like” you’re likely usedContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#446)…and a brief comment”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#441)…plus a quick glance and a couple comments

On the bike…A full tank of propane. Comments…First of all I love the slogan that Yuba often uses, “What a bike can do.” And I love the comments and looks that I often get while carrying stuff on a bike (looks that say…I didn’t know you could do that). The above image is one IContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#441)…plus a quick glance and a couple comments”
