Back when I made my personal commitment to commute by bike throughout the winter, getting through January was my biggest fear. Early nightfall, wind, snow, ice, below freezing temperatures…January has it all. Looking back though, it wasn’t all that bad! There were a few times when the conditions were miserable, but I [...]

In the recent issue of VeloNews, columnist Wayne K. Sheldrake writes about the various items ( road swag ) he has found along the highway while out riding his bike.
That got me to thinking of the treasures I’ve found during the many miles I’ve logged on Hwy. 50. One of the best scores was [...]

Lunch Rides
We continue to get a daily dose of snow here in Carson City. Every day it snows, and every day it melts. Just a constant cycle of snow, slush, and ice. I had hopes of road biking through January while the trails are under snow, but unfortunately I’ve gotten very little time in [...]

There’s not much to say about today’s riding other than it was very cold! I didn’t feel like taking any pictures either. So until I have something more exciting to write about, go check out some commuting safety tips I wrote over on Commute by Bike.

Bicycle commuting has been going really well. In fact, I haven’t even been in a car for about a week now. The last time I went car free this long was probably 1984, back before I had my driver’s license and walked or rode my bike to school.
The roads have dried out, so [...]

I’ve always considered January to be Hell Month for cycling. January has the hardest obstacles to overcome, and you have to push yourself to go out into the cold or you won’t ride. It’s too tempting to stay in where it’s warm!
After a weekend of snow storms, the Monday commute was nasty! [...]

Today I had the opportunity to ride my snow bike, a 1987 Raleigh Seneca. I call it the snow bike because I mounted studded tires on the wheels and I only ride it when there is enough of the fluffy stuff to warrant using it. I was given this bike from a customer of mine [...]

Now that we’re beginning a new year, it’s time to reflect on 2007, and also look to the future of 2008.
2007
For the past few days, I’ve been thinking of the most memorable cycling moments of 2007. There weren’t too many days in 2007 when I didn’t ride a bike (and have a good [...]

Friday morning I was roused out of bed at 4:30 AM because of a problem at work. Since I was already up, and the problem was taken care of, I decided to just go into work early. What the heck…I’m late every day, let’s try something new!
The marquee at Mills Park said 12 [...]
