On the ride in to work, a bird with very good aim lands his morning constitutional on my leg. I get back home after surviving another day at the “office” to find the bike odometer reads 666. Overall it was not a bad day, and I did beat the thunder storm home, so I now [...]
I thought it was perfect timing when I got home and found my Olympus 790sw sitting on the counter yesterday. Today was my commute by bike day, and I took a few extra minutes to take photos going in and coming home. I kept an eye on the weather all day, and decided to wait [...]
This is a photo of my colleague Jenny who rides her bike to work whenever the weather is nice. I’ve noticed the number of regular bike commuters observed as I drive to work in my pick up truck (trust me, at $60 a tank I wish I was among you) has increased significantly. I used to [...]
I rode to work today, and I lost against Mother Nature. The commute in was great, the ride home not so much. Before I left, I noticed the storm moving in sooner than expected but it looked like I might beat it. I did not. Donder who was heading into work saw me pedaling before [...]
I finally called Olympus about not being able to find my receipt, but it was not a problem because I purchased the camera through their repair exchange program. After getting that confirmation, I headed out on the DB to go drop it off and run a few more errands. I was able to lug the [...]
Another bonus of commuting to work by bike? Not having to decide between a bike ride or mowing the lawn. Yes, that is a photo of my lawn at this very moment. Mine is the only one on the street that looks like this right now. So, I will post the ride stats and head [...]
Commuting to work on the bike has all sorts of bonuses: staying in shape, saving wear & tear on the vehicle, saving on gas, and prepping for LIVESTRONG. Today was only the second day I commuted to work, but I need to figure out the best way to fill the tank before and after I [...]
After trial ride #1 and trial ride #2, I have finally made it official. I commuted to work by bike today. The attached elevation graph is for the ride in. I really missed not having the bike camera, but I did get to work in 59 minutes. Maybe not stopping for pictures was a good [...]
I found this post on the Boston Globe’s Go to It blog. The post is about Bicycle Benefits and how it has hit the Boston area. Borrowed directly from their site:
“Bicycle Benefits is a progressive bicycling program designed to reward individuals and businesses for their commitment to cleaner air, personal health, and the use of [...]
Sweet Ride

I spied this bike while walking up Commercial Street in Provincetown, MA last Saturday. The owner, a stylist at Snip Salon, had just unlocked it and I complimented him on this vintage piece. He was kind enough to set it up for a quick snapshot for me. A little research revealed [...]
