When all of the dogs are horizontal, you know that a good time has been had by all. Apparently, we were on the ground floor of a trend amongst our social circle of taking in abandoned puppies. Our friends Julie & Tracey took in a stray Rottweiler/GSD pup about two weeks ago. His name is […]

I had a pretty significant day on the bike today. I had a lot of errands to run, and I took the long route, so to speak, because I really needed to blow out the cobwebs. I think I got in the riding mode on Sunday night; Team Frank Stallone‘s Westport Roadie Douche Crit was […]

After Joel’s gonzo recap of Saturday’s pub crawl, there ain’t much I can say so instead I am going to let my pictures do most of the talkin’ What? You don’t park your bike this way? Wrong Right! Jill & Wade show us how it’s done. I think it’s a nice touch that Jill’s beer […]

Well, we’re back to winter again. Yesterday it was around 60, and I rode around town sans jacket, gloves, and hat. Today it is around 30, and I will be bundling up right and proper to head out to a job interview this afternoon. But yesterday was so gorgeous you could easily forget that we’re […]

So, I had the grumpies the other day because I was sick, but honestly an almost uncountable number of awesome and good things have happened in the past week and I’ve been too under the weather to post about them. I guess I should back it up to the day before Christmas Eve, when Joel […]

, originally uploaded by acmebicyclecompany. If so, then you should have been to the Frank Tuesday Du*cough*alon on Saturday night. The few of us who didn’t let chill temperatures, off-and-on rain, and more-or-less permanent insanity ruin a good time had a complete and utter BLAST! Sarah from ACME documented the affair and I think there […]

“> Yes, yes, yes, folks…so it appears that Frank Tuesday is back in action in the KC area. Maybe it’s FT’s evil clone, maybe it’s something completely different. All I know is that the insanity and mayhem we’ve all come to crave is wafting on the breezes and we should all get a good dose […]

While some people were starting out on RAGBRAI, some others were riding their bikes to Roanoke Park in Kansas City and sharing a picnic supper. From the feedback I’ve gotten from various attendees, I think it’s safe to employ the old small-town-newspaper wrap-up phrase, “a good time was had by all.” It was family friendly, […]

That’s a slogan you hear often during Bike To Work week. It’s one you hear pretty frequently amongst hardcore cycle-commuters and bike nerds in general. It’s a pretty succinct way of summing up the whole bike-commuting/bike-dork life. I was out making the rounds this afternoon, doing promo for Pedal Powered Potluck Picnic: The Sequel after […]

Probably the image I will use on the flyer, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. You like to ride, you like to eat, and you like to socialize, right? Well, here’s a great opportunity to do all this and more. Pedal-Powered Potluck Picnic: The sequel! Where: Roanoke Park (meet @ Acme Bicycle Company, 412 E. 18th St., […]
