As far as I’m concerned, the only thing worse than spending hours of your life stuck in car traffic, is spending even more hours of your life talking about it.

Because I bike everywhere and that is odd to many people, I get a lot of odd questions. Explaining the difference between utility cyclist and sport cyclist has gotten old. So I’ve just started playing dumb and asking them if they do this when they drive: Just for the fun of making them explain the […]

It seems some people can’t see anything romantic about biking in the city. To me, that seems ridiculous. Bicycling is full of meet-cute situations, laughter, and the chance of romance all with a beautiful city backdrop- just like in a movie. Except it’s better than a movie because you can live it.

…Nothing happens at all. Nope, absolutely nothing. Even with the loudest, biggest bells I can find nobody hears me coming on my bike. I’d get a horn, but I really don’t want to contribute to the stress of the city. It would make much more sense to do the reverse.

The good news is a lot of places have started adding bicycle racks to accommodate people who arrive by bike. The bad news is, these racks don’t actually accommodate people who arrive by bike. Putting a rack in some dark corner does not make a place bike friendly. I’d no more want to leave my […]

It’s the 4th day straight with temperatures in the 90’s here, and humid. So it’s really tempting to just lay around and soak up whatever air conditioning I can find. But of course there are things to do. Some think it’s crazy to bike in this weather. Maybe it is, but at least you get […]
