Yah, it's another pic of my new bike. Just wanted to give some feedback on how my new Dahon Speed D7 has been treating me. The answer is great! It's absolutley amazing how a bike made out of 4130 chomoly steel frame can feel so light, around 25.74lbs with all the bells and whistles on it. I think if...
Gas Prices! Man o man, I am laughing at you. Fact: the amount of money spent by the Federal Government on Public Transportation is based on revenues from gas taxes. So drive less = less Public Transit Funds. Make sense in a fucking 12 dimensional world where Uthulu's are our Lords and Masters. Fuck,...
Heyo, Tim's... got time on his hands. Inspired by Milwaukee-based Coffee House Stone Creek's offer to give a free pound of coffee to anyone that visits all their stores, Tim took 'em up on the offer. And did so BY BIKE. Check it on the Stone Creek website here: A few weeks ago we launched our Stone...
Lately it seems like the universe is conspiring against me riding, Hang-up du jour: waiting on craigslist buyer as well as my lube running out after a handful of links. It's perfect weather too, augh >:[
Only two more hours left. It will be wonderful. It will be the freedom of a lifetime. I will feel like a weight has been lifted off of my chest. The blonde new chick, who has actually been a great friend since she's been here, got me a cookie cake that says "Best Wishes". I'm sure the rest of the...
I almost got into a fight today over something incredibly stupid. Because i'm too lazy to type again, here is my words with my friend on MSN. Ðαvê - what are we doing to ourselves? says: Oh, I was very close to getting my ass kicked today by two teenagers in a benz on robson street Ðαvê - what...
My second year riding in the Festa Foundation's annual charity century got off to an early start when my duty pager blasted me into consciousness shortly after 4AM this morning. I'm the nighttime on-call person for this week and a maintenance needed some assistance to wrap up. I helped out and laid...
...I swear I'm done with this stupid bike crap. Apparently, that dude actually dedicated a whole post to me! A whole post where people can opine and bitch about how I'm a horrible human being and that I was speeding (I never said I was doing the speed limit, folks... must have taken a large...
This is how I keep from going fucking insane. I screw with retards. If you want to join in, feel free here.
I posted on one of those stupid MacArthur biker's blogs about how they're insane to be not using the bike path... and this is the repsonse. How I would give all sorts of things to be able to open up that email right now. Its beautiful! Probably full of more stupidity! But, alas... at work! And cant...
Since the weather was rubbish last Saturday we decided Sunday to take our bikes out for the first time. Of course, I was too busy trying to get everything sorted that I completely forgot to take photos. It was a quick ride, just to get the feel for them and to see how Sofia would do in the baby...
Granted, when you're living this close to another state, peeps from the other side are gonna hate you back. Maryland, besides being about a gazillion dollars in debt, ill prepared to let folks know not to drink their water, lacking in decent piping, and full of horrible drivers, has a problem with...
Somebody asked today a very Miss USA type question: What would you do to change the world? Given the context of the conversation, the asker had a much deeper meaning associated to the question than a simple, "I wish for world peace and the end of world hunger." The questioner was someone I would...
So...it's been a while since I've updated here; not because I had nothing to say, certainly, but more because I have too much to say. I've been staying super busy, both with the projects I'm involved in here, which are really starting to take off, and with fun stuff, new ideas, and lots of good...
Yesterday I organized a booth at Sunday Parkways where we invited the public to make bookmarks and artist trading cards. The turn out was fantastic (once the drizzle cleared) and lots of people wanted to stop and make art! A few photographical highlights: A plethora of supplies (you can kind of see...
Yay! I rang this morning about our bikes being ready. Yes, ready to go. [sidenote: I had to get the Navigator 2.0 since the 3.0 was sold out across Europe and wouldn't be in for months. The only positive is saving the 80 pounds] Tom, Sofia and I went down in Tom's car thinking they would both go in...
Tom and I have been talking about buying bikes for a couple of years now. And that is it, talk. So, a couple of weeks ago I found out where they sell Trek bikes near us and we went down to have a look. I like one they had in store, but it really wasn't right for the kind of riding we will do. The...
Tomorrow morning I'll be off and rolling on the Trek Across Maine. Here are some random pre-ride thoughts: Weight The less stuff you have on the bike, the less work it is to drag yourself up a mountain. Last year I used a seat bag, my camelback backpack (for water, but holds a few items) and a small...
U.S. cities promote bicycling as gas prices soar Come on Richmond....catch the trend. I've seen a few more people out riding with me but more seem to be choosing scooters than peddling their fat lazy asses anywhere. Who needs exercise when you're American?
