Bikes belong on the street!
I was riding my Bug to work yesterday (I didn’t have my stuff ready to ride my bike), as I was making a right turn on a street, a dude on a bike coming the opposite way on the sidewalk almost hit me. He started yelling obscenities, so I yelled back ‘You are going the…
If Biking is Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Ride Bikes
I got a traffic violation today, for turning into the bike lane of a one way street. I did it right in front of two bike cops because I didn’t even realize I was breaking a law. For those of you who bike somewhere other than New York City, be thankful you don’t live here….

Bike Limo
I purchased a Co-pilot trailer so I can ride with both of my girls and my wife. I attached it to the Xtracycle that is installed on my Kona Smoke. I took a couple of test rides around the block to familiarize myself with the new extra-long bike. My family and I will be commuting…

It was poker night for the guys last night and everyone had their fair share of drinks. We talked about going out for a ride but I wasn’t sure if anyone would make it. But Eri, Jamie, and I met at 0600 as planned. We loaded up our bikes on the Allen Bike Rack 550RR…

The clothing line would have some basic moisture wicking shirts,beanies, skull caps, knickers, logo T-shirts and what ever else a commuter may want or need for bike riding. So with that in mind, would bicycle commuters like you…
