I know of a way to get more time on the bike, but I just have not been able to figure out the logistics. How? Commute to work on it. Before I bought the house in 2004, I had a one mile commute. I rode into work frequently and loved it. Now the commute is [...]

This is something in the past I NEVER thought would happen, but age, convenience, and the LIVESTRONG Ride in August placed me on the road bike almost exclusively this summer. I went out on the mt bike once with Heather. It was raining. We went [...]
I have been checking out “how to write a book review” for another blog I am posting on, but this will have none of the tips I gleamed from those various articles. I read this book a few years ago and thought it was excellent. I just thought I would post it for those of [...]

Hey Folks. We’re out here. We like bikes. We like coffee. That’s the basic premise. And if you like bikes & coffee, well then we may get along. So check us out. Road, mountain, black or with cream (with cream would be the road cyclist, yes?), we’re interested. So let us know what you think.
