Commute by Bike
Red Bull Soap Box Race St. Louis
I’ve been seing the commercials for this event. I think the Champiot would be the perfect machine for it.
So Ronerey…so ronerey so unhappy, ronerey and brue
I don’t know very many commuters here in Orange County. Other than Moe, Priscilla and my self…I don’t know anyone else that rides? So if you’re in OC, leave a comment about your commute.
Dream Job…
So there I was day dreaming while I was stuck in traffic on my way home… My dream job would have me be fully invovled in the bike business. Perhaps owning a bike shop someday or working for a really cool company that loves bikes as much as I do. Do any of you want…
A Commuter's Confession
So there I was thinking… If I expect motorists to acknowledge me as an equal on the road. Then I should be obeying the laws just as much as I would expect a motorist to do the same. Speaking for myself, I know that I’ve played the victim mentality when it comes to commuting. What…

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 Update
Unfortunately we weren’t able to go to the Beach due to time constraints. However, we did manage to get our ‘Bike On’ by going to Irvine Regional Park. We rode 6 miles around the park, had a pic-nic and my daughters rode their other favorite ‘steeds’ We all had great time riding the bikes at…

Oops!
Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Sure2Endure First Impression
Sure2Endure comes in its own individual packets. Which I think is great because they’re sealed and no mistakes on how much you should take. This morning we played Wallyball for PT. I don’t usually take any type of supplements but I decided to try these out. With all the running around that we did I…

Knee Pain…again!
Dang man, last week my knee for the first time in a great while was starting to feel great! But since my fall, my knee has been bothering me again. So for now, I can’t really ride until it feels better….
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…
Early Morning Ride II
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…

Early this morning a couple of friends and I loaded our bikes on the Allen Bike Rack 550RR to hit the trails. With its long carry arm, the 550RR is designed to carry 5 bikes which easily held our three bikes. I was really impressed about the individual tie downs that it came with. I’ve…
