This post is inspired by Copenhagen Cycle Chic. What do you think of Muarians on bikes? Muar is a town in the northwest of the state of Johore. Unfortunately, there were no chic young cyclists in sight.
this is the title of the new book i'm going to write. the only thing i have to do first is actually discover how to escape the rat race. after that it should really be a piece of cake. yeah, i don't love the new design either but it is october soon and we'll need a festive halloween design so this...

Okay, so I haven't written anything substantial here in awhile. Boo hoo. I was assigned to write a piece of fiction for a class I am taking, and honestly, I don't much like it. I use Mark Twain's philosophy of writing uncontrollable characters into wells. Except, this time, with no desire or time...
Some photos I took at the Amtrak 100 Bicycle Ride last weekend. The ride went from Fullerton to San Diego, CA.
Regarding my recent post about Critical Mass bicyclists: My husband Rich is friends with the owner of a bike shop. He attended one of these gatherings, once - never again - and here's why: They forced an anbulance with lights and sirens running to stop for them. They went onto the freeway. There was...
it seems like everyone is trying to rush the fall in quicker than is natural. lots of folks are talking about changing leaves and dropping temperatures and the cyclo-cross season starting but i don't really see any of this yet. the only change i have picked up on is the dark morning rides and early...
Thank you Lesley Conn. I wouldn’t be able to pick her out in a line up but I have to thank her for snapping me out of my “media bias” political funk of the last few days. I mean, how do you rail against distortions, misrepresentations and outright lies perpetrated by people who are supposed to...
Going to Des Moines this weekend. Hope the bloody rain stops. It started raining mid-morning. Then the rain became heavier this afternoon. By evening it had transitioned into torrential rain. Nothing like what happened in New Orleans, but far heavier than normal. Greg has a full weekend planned,...

One of the first things we all learn in drivers education class is that driving is not a right. It is a privilege. All drivers, with no exceptions, are required to follow traffic laws. We also learn that bicyclists have the same access to the roads as cars. Bicycles must be registered, and they must...
I stopped by a friend's place on the bicycle. We had a beer and hung out for a little bit, but they had to leave. I still had half my beer left. So my friend just put it in my waterbottle holder on my bike and off I went down Sunset Blvd, open beer on my bike, pedalling past cops and onlookers,...
Lately I have been receiving a great deal of phone calls and voicemail messages from people wanting to donate their bicycles to me. Thanks, but I have one. I finally asked the most recent person who called where they got the number. "Isn't this Bicycle Dojo? I did a google search for "bicycle...
Okay. So I finally bought a bicycle. I love it and hate it. My ass hurts and I feel ridiculously out of shape when riding it. But it's really fun, and I guess that's what really important. That and I barely moved my car all weekend.

Right. Late last week, an idea of visiting the car-less fishing village of Pulau Ketam [Crab Island] came to me almost suddenly. After reading about it online and in the papers, I was determine not to waste the weekend living the suburban life. My mother agreed to it and on the morning of Saturday...
YES! MORE MORE MORE! I think I've completely changed my mind about that one Schwinn mentioned in the post below. Here are the ones I like now! HAHAHA. Well, I still like the Trek one from before. It's still in consideration. Yummy. The yellow one at the end has icky handlebars, but I still like it...
SO, my dad's finally getting me a bike after 4 years of saying "I WANT A BIKE". However, he really wants me to have a bike with multiple speeds. EH. Like I know what that means. Anyway. Here are the two I'm looking at. They're beach cruisers. DREAM BIKE! And of course, they're uber colorful. The...
