What to Get?

What to get? Christmas shopping often drives me crazy, because of that \”what to get\” question. What would this or that person want; and where can I get it? As a complicating factor, I need to choose gifts that are small in size, and not too heavy; and thus easy to ship. If you don\’t […]

Body Image

Body image isn\’t what I think of first when I think of cycling. In fact, to be honest, I don\’t think about it much at all; but I\’m sure that there are riders who do. I\’m not a psychologist, and I\’m not a nutritionist. If you need help with this, please consult the appropriate professional.

Gloomy

It was a gloomy ride today. The forecast said, light rain at 7 am; and in fact there was a bit of a drizzle. But I rode, anyway. I knew that, if I waited to \”see whether it would stop\”, I might not get to ride; and I\’m trying not to become a fair weather

Lost and Found

I had a lost and found incident today; and I\’m lucky it was lost and FOUND; not plain lost. I rode to the salvage store, as I so often do on Saturdays. My raid on the grab-bag bins unearthed several single-serve packs of NUT-rition; but no FitCrunch bars. That was a disappointment; but I made

Classic Bicycles Wrap livens up gift-giving. Christmas is a-comin\’; and there are always birthdays! I\’d love to get some of this colorful, embossed paper; but I already have plenty of other wrapping paper. What fun it would be to have bicycle-themed paper to conceal a special gift for the cyclist in your life!

Black Friday

Today is Black Friday; and sometimes it is, indeed, very black. We hear reports in the news of people being badly injured — or even killed — in the stampedes that ensue as stores open their doors to shoppers. Walmart didn\’t seem to have that problem; or maybe I got there after the main rush.

Ride to Write

Sometimes it seems that I ride to write. Being out on the bicycle can give me blog ideas; and that\’s a good thing. Coming up with blog topics isn\’t always easy; and I need to get ideas from somewhere. One day I\’ll blog about my force intervals; and the next I\’ll write about something unusual

Bee\’s Knees?

Are a bee\’s knees better than mine? I don\’t know; but my own knees are getting a bit creaky and cranky. Yesterday I had quite a long wait at a bus stop; and to pass the time, I started to do lunges. At repetition number eight, the areas around both knees suddenly began to hurt;
