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…

Negotiating the price of a bike.
So you’ve decided to purchase a new shiny bike from your LBS, first thing you do is check out the price tag. Question is, is it alright to negotiate (also known as haggling) the price of the bike? Before I answer the question, I regard buying a bike more like ‘investing’ on a bike. So…

For quite a while I’ve been playing around with the idea of selling commuter clothing on CBB. 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…
