It will not be my first New England winter, but it will be my first biking winter. Currently the weather is unusually fall-like but I am trying to wrap my head around approaching cold and snow. After some research and talking to people it sounds like I am supposed to buy a lot of stuff […]
I have a confession. I really don’t know that much about bikes. I just like to ride them. For me it’s more about lifestyle. So when it comes to bike repairs sometimes I get myself into situations. It’s not that I don’t have the ability fix a bike, I just don’t have any experience. But […]
They are installing showers in my office building. As the one that bikes to work, everyone is eager to know my thoughts. “Are you excited?”, “Will you use them?”, “Aren’t you glad they’re accommodating you?” Meh… I don’t care about the showers. It’s only 4.1 miles to work and I can’t go terribly fast due to traffic, […]
It’s that time of year, the leaves are falling from the trees, it gets dark at 4pm, and the Hubway bikes are going away. Which means winter is coming and it’s going to get cold. Before you get too down remember there are still things to look forward to. There are holidays, food, snow days, parties, […]
If you bike on the street you are familiar with the “door zone” (also known as the “bike lane.”) You are probably also familiar with another frequent obstacle in the bike lane. Butts. Yes, the bike lane is the place where people mess with unseen shit inside their car. While I see them in advance and […]

But if you’re not ready to take the leap to cycling just yet, just know that when you’re going to always be more than 30 minutes late meeting […]
Last night I had some time to kill which I spent walking around Kenmore square watching cyclists. This is what it looked like: Okay, can you tell how many cyclists are in this scene? No cyclists you say? Look again! There are seven. See? Of course you can’t. BECAUSE THESE FOLKS NEED TO GET SOME […]
Bike helmets aren’t just good for brain-protection, they are also the ultimate accessory when I’m away from my bike. For example when I run into a cute stranger who is also carrying a helmet… That’s pretty much all it takes. I’ve considered carrying them all the time- even when I don’t travel by bike.
When you bike every day one of the things you have to deal with is helmet head. Obviously you want to look good when you get to work. However a bike helmet sometimes can be a hairstyle killer. If I had complete control, my hair would look like Louise Brooks’ hair every day: But it doesn’t. […]
Because of the bit of re-branding I have done I thought I would give a second introduction to my blog. As you already know I like to draw pictures, be funny, not offer any real information. And while there are serious issues on our roads it’s easy to get bogged down in negativity. But ultimately […]
