I’ve been useless today. I’m just tooo het up about Kanza to be any good to anybody. I think i have freaked out about 5 times an hour. I got some work done and all, but I am very thankful I was able to get off early as I was getting way too buzzy and […]

I’ve come to the conclusion that I pretty much don’t give a crap about what other cyclists do. I don’t care if they wear a helmet, if they stop for lights, if they ride on the sidewalk, if they’re tighter than a boiled owl, riding up the wrong side of the street at 11:00 a.m. […]

I was walking across the room to investigate the ice-cream situation when I heard my dad utter the above phrase. I knew he’d hit his stride. It was the weekend before last, at James & Dahlia’s get-together for their daughter’s first birthday. We’d dropped by to say hello and hand over a big bowl of […]

Within the cycling community Bike To Work Week generates quite a bit of buzz. There are all sorts of promos, events, competitions, and celebrations centered around the simple act of riding a bicycle for basic transportation.
