So this summer I’ve set myself a cycling goal. I’m going to start from my house and climb up Hamburg Rd. in one go…no stops. Today I started my first ever attempt to climb it. I made it about 2.2 miles up the hill. I think it’s a good starting point. I basically made it [...]

So I just noticed this on the BBC today…
Cycling Jacket wins design award

So which came first?
I kinda like her design idea better…
no need to remove hands from bars at night for risking a hand signal that wouldn’t probably be seen.

So you may have seen a post last year about some training obstacles I set up in my backyard to help Christine improve her bike handling skills. This year I added another rock/log pile for her to crawl over and she tried it out today. Here’s the shots…

So recently I’ve been looking at handlebar bags like the Sunlite Bartender 4 and thinking about how useful these can be. Albeit generic looking and not at all unique, which is something someone like me is often concerned with when deciding on bits and parts that will have no overall cohesiveness nor rhyme or reason [...]

Here it is for all of you who aren’t on my email list.
Three and a half years old…ripping.
He’ll be jumping it by the end of the summer….

So this is where BMX went with the artistic cycling thing. The cross over is linked back to a guy named Pat Romano who’s family had done the artistic cycling thing for generations over in Europe. He rode a fixed gear BMX bike that ran something like a 24-20 gearing. He was in the movie [...]
