21st Time’s the Charm

I said it before and I’ll say it again, stay safe on the roads today. It is rough out there. Before you ask yes I did ride into work today. Sure it is only a little over a mile and a half, but that distance was enough for me to almost fall about 20 times. Now I am safe, sitting in my cube, hoping that when I get out of work they will have plowed the streets.

Did you ride this morning? Are you a weather master who scoffs at mother nature like she is some annoying road block put in your way just to slow you down a bit?

Stay Warm

If you are like me, and you probably aren’t because you are sane, you rode your bike this morning to work. After riding through the single digits, wind chill and all that, all I can say is bundle up and have a cup of tea waiting for you when you get to work. It makes all the difference.

How about you? What do you do to beat the cold?

You know who I am talking about. That rare breed of cyclist, the cycling conservative. To help talk to these particular people here is an article from Commute By Bike that will help move things along.

What’s happening at the Albany Bike Rescue?

What’s that? You want to know about the Albany Bike Rescue (ABR)? Let me see if I can dig something up.

Recently we received a bunch of children’s bikes which we have been fixing up. This one was a wooden tricycle that was poorly welded so our mechanics sawed off the bad part and ingeniously put the stem back together. Continue reading
