When I was a kid, biking was my favorite activity (after drawing.) Luckily I had a lot of space to do it. When I started biking to work I hadn’t ridden a bike in 10-15 years. I’d never experienced biking for transportation. So it was not surprising that getting on a bike made me feel like […]
This weekend marked the end of “winter” for me as it was the first time I went on some longer rides out of the city. The first one started when a 2 mile trip to run some errands which somehow became me power-biking 20 miles. I got home tired, but not satisfied. So I hastily […]
My Mom turned 60 this year and she’s decided to do a triathlon. She’s decided to invest in a better bike for the triathlon and beyond. She bikes quite a bit. Sometimes we run into each other in distant towns on long rides… However she didn’t know what type of riding she would do when […]
I’ve been busier and more stressed than usual lately and it’s started catching up with me. The other day at work I found myself completely exhausted. I could not wait to go home… …And pass out. It was all I could think about. The second the workday was done I hopped on my bike and raced across […]

Everyone was outside welcoming the good weather. I was no different. And I knew exactly how to celebrate the change of season, A polka […]
I’m a creature of habit, I take the same route to work every day along with many others. I recognize many people on my commute. There’s the girl with the gold helmet, her guy friend who wears plaid shirts exclusively. There’s the middle-aged woman with the very large panniers who always dresses for rain. There’s the girl […]
When people meet me they sometimes think I would always ride a fancy bike. But most days I ride a very plain hybrid. But what she lacks in style, she makes up in attitude. She’s very good at handling situations. Like when would-be thieves approach her… …She’s very feisty and doesn’t take any shit. She can […]
Yesterday as I approached a light on Mass Ave it turned red. The cyclist ahead of me rode blithely through it. I came to a complete stop. That was apparently a very unexpected move to the cyclist behind me… Should this really be that much of a surprise? However, this is why I sometimes signal […]
