Hey guys,
I know we should all be doing this on a regular basis, but let’s face it who has the time? Here’s an interesting article from the About.com Bicycling Blog about easy things you can do to get the most out of your bike. I should probably do these more often.

Hey guys,
What do you do with old, outdated, or broken bike pieces? Do you throw them away? Of course not! I know some people here who have some troublesome bike parts so here’s an interesting article from the About.com Bicycling Blog about what to do with your old tires and tubes. My favorite one is the chair made out of old rims.

Everyone should experience the joy that comes from riding a bicycle. Until now I have never heard of this segment of the population given that chance because of their particular disability. This article from the New York Times is a heartwarming story of an organization that gives people a chance to feel like we do everyday.

Winter cycling is something I look forward to with great excitement and trepidation. I have so many questions that I want to ask without knowing exactly what they are. All I can do is try to prepare with what I know and hope that I come out on top and not on the black top. Here are some things that I am considering:
1. SKS Commuter Bicycle Fender Set: I should have gotten these a while ago as it would have kept my bike a lot cleaner, but in the coming winter months I am really going to need them as rain is nothing compared to snow when it comes to dirtying your bike.
2. Outdoor Research Ninjaclava Balaclava: I need a balaclava for a few reasons. The foremost of which is to keep my face warm on those cold winter days. The nerd in me says, “Hey, as long as you are getting a mask for your face why not look like a ninja?” So here’s my question, should I wear goggles with this or is it not meant for goggles?
3. Full Face Mask-Orange Flame W11S23D: I was torn between getting a balaclava and a face mask for a while when it finally dawned on me, “Why not get both?” So here it is. The problem with the face masks and the half masks is that a lot of them are all really scary. I think my goal here is not to look like a maniac, but to keep my face warm and rain free. Does anyone have any suggestions on masks?
4. Half face Mask – Spider Web W11S25D: I don’t know if I’d like the full or half mask better so I came to the same conclusion as before, get both! I was always a fan of Spider-Man so this just made sense.
There are two items I haven’t decided on mostly because I haven’t researched them yet. These are goggles and full fingered gloves. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to hear them in the comments.
