Eye on the Sky Today I had my eye on the sky. The forecast said, T-storms were possible from late morning; and at 6:25 am, there were already big thunderheads to the South and West. Those clouds seemed to grow and grow; and I was a bit anxious about that. I was worried that things […]
Good Trip I had a good trip to the salvage store today! This time the grab-bag bins were piled quite high; and I found three FitCrunch bars! I also found packets of peanuts; and I got a few candy bars as well. Elsewhere in the store, I found some things that will make good ride
School Again It’s almost time for school again already! It always comes too soon, doesn’t it? It sure did when I was a kid! If there’s a safe place to ride, how about letting the kids get to school under pedal power? When I was a kid, there was absolutely no way we could safely
Things I’ve Seen The things I’ve seen while riding my bicycle! Many, if not most, are quite mundane things. This week’s sighting was most unusual. Day before yesterday I was out on the road bike; and about three miles from home I saw something by the bike path. At first I thought it was a
Looby Loo? Here We Go Looby Loo came to mind when I thought about lubing my hybrid bike’s chain. I played that game when I was a child; but hadn’t thought about it in ages. After three days of mid-day downpours, a bicycle’s chain needs an oil job. On the other hand, why bother if it’s
Fantasycart Unicycle Fantasycart Unicycle sounds like a great vehicle for the adventurous. I’m not sure I want to try one; but if I were younger, maybe I would. And supposedly it’s not that difficult to learn! One-wheelers make me think of clowns. I don’t have any aspirations to become a clown; so maybe I’ll forget

Pakistan I wonder what cycling in Pakistan is like. It’s so easy to focus on packaged bicycle tours. Then the country’s real cycling culture gets pushed aside. Women in the country, a conservative society, face obstacles when it comes to cycling. But they have to have a way to get places (the market; school; etc.);
Stroopwafels for Riding Today I tried Stroopwafels for riding. I had the caramel variety; and though they taste good, they’re really too low in protein for ride food. So I took along some other food in case I needed it. Honey Stinger Chews rounded out the menu very nicely. A great advantage to Stroopwafels is

Rainbow at Morning Today I saw a rainbow at morning! For a few minutes, it was quite bright; then it faded. But the saying goes, “Rainbow at morning, sailor take warning.” T-storms are predicted for this afternoon; and I’m glad I don’t have any more errands to run. In fact, right about noon, I began

Wet Start I got a wet start to my weekend. About 45 minutes before I left work, I looked outside; and the sky was full of a looming, black cloud. Oh, great, I thought: will I have to ride home through a downpour? As it turned out, not really. When I left work, it was
