Ruben's Ticket For Not Stopping
Is this right?! Our buddy Ruben got a ticket for not putting his feet down at a stop. I never stop at the stop signs” after all, we can stop pretty much on a dime, but yesterday, a cop on his gas guzzling BMW bike in Davis, CA, gave me a ticket for not stopping…
Trikke 8
I use the Trikke 8 at work. Getting around the warehouse has never been so much fun. If I had to describe what it is like to ride the Trikke, I would say that it’s like roller blading, skiing, and riding a bike all at the same time. Everyone at the shop has had a…

Katrina's 1st Bike
My wife Soraya and I bought our daughter Katrina her first bicycle. I think I was more excited about it than my daughter was. I couldn’t wait to get it home so we could go out for a ride. All she talked about was how she liked her bike and that she wanted to ride…

Motorized Bicycle
