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.

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 […]
Fall is here and the weather is looking fabulous for the long holiday weekend (at least it is here in the Boston area.) So make sure to get out on your bike and enjoy the view. And if you’re not in Boston, well, maybe you should be. Or at least while the weather […]
