When I got home from work I decided to get on my trusty Giant Warp and take a little ride on my home trail, The Fullerton Loop. I’ve included some pics below for your enjoyment. Whats cool is I know of a handful of guys that use the Fullerton Loop as part of their commute….

Allen Racks Update-Not Too Good
Remember the Allen Rack Review? Well here’s the update and it’s not so good. After a few months of using the Allen Rack I found that the lower portion of the rack started to rub on my trunk and bumper, thus chipping off paint and making permanent damage to my vehicle. See for yourself…

Biking Against Bush
I found this old, not so up to date blog where this fella created a machine that attaches to his bicycle and sprays chalk messages on the side walk. I guess its his form of protest against Bush. It’s called Biking Against Bush. Check out these videos: Here’s his maiden voyage. Here’s an old interview…
Happy Easter!
On behalf of everyone here on Commute By Bike Happy EASTER!
KHS Urban X First Impression
I rode the Urban X to work yesterday. I rode my 20 mile commute and I got a good feeling on how this bike rides. Here’s my first impression: Looks: I love the way this bike looks, why? It’s unique, stealthy and not everyone likes the style making it less desirable to steal. There was…
P1SSEEZEE Bike Wash-Update
I gave one of my buddies, Mike Monte a bottle of P1SSEEZEE bike wash to try out for me. As you can see, his Specialized Hardrock in all its glory, is supa’ clean! Check out that shine!
Almost Heaven – Country Roads
After 7 weeks now, I am finally able to ride – and I did. I put the new SPD’s on the Woodstock that CBB sent me, and went to my favorite bike shop to get some new Shimano Shoes to go along with them. I’ve got some new Mavic wheels, dressed with Continental Country Roads…
Bike Power!!!

Your energy is being turned into heat by your trainer. Recapture your energy! The Bike Power generator…

KHS Urban X Preview
I went to take the KHS Latte back to KHS, then in return, the great people at KHS lent us a nice Urban X. If you think that this bike looks a lot like the Kona Smoke, I’d say you are correct. I’ll be giving the Smoke a rest while I ride the Urban X…
Xootr Swift-er
The Xootr Swift has become one of my favorite bikes to ride. My buddy Anthony and I hit the river trail for a quick 30 mile ride on the San Gabriel River Bed. I decided to change the Xootr a little bit, I added some Aero bars that I got from Ebay and a Minoura…
Two Things I Hate
There are two things I can’t stand in this world… 1. Dog Poop! Oh man I HATE DOG POOP! I hate it hate it hate it! I hate seeing it, smelling it and especially stepping in it! 2. Flat tires. Nothing gets me like a flat tire. Its the ultimate joy killer. Any suggestions on…
Got Locks?
This might be a great alternative to the Street Cuff Dilema.
Rain Rain Go Away…
Man this is starting to drive me crazy! There’s more rain forecasted this week…. I know that I’m complaining now, but there’s such a big payoff once summer hits.

Back on The Trainer
I decided to get some mileage while watching TV. So I set up the Ibex Corrida and the Kurt Kinetic Trainer in my living room. I actually needed to train for the City Of Angels Ride coming up on the 30th. But do you see my left knee in the picture below. It…

Wandertec Sax On the Way
After a winter of bike commuting, the arrival of spring makes the bike commuting that much more fun. I’ve been dusting off the mountain bike for some much needed trail riding as well. We are looking into the possibility of sharing some space at Interbike with our local friends at VooDoo cycles… http://www.voodoocycles.net/ . We…
How Skinny is Too Skinny?
I know for myself, being husky and big boned. Being a super small skinny racer is as far from me achieving it as winning the lotto is. However, I couldn’t help but notice how fit and skinny some of the racers that The Steeps featured on a posting. Is it me or is being “fit”…
