Incredibell I love my Incredibell. The hybrid has one; and I wish I could put one on the road bike. Unfortunately the handlebar tape makes those handlebars too big for the Incredibell’s fastening band. But something the bell does not do is let me ride upside down! This bell has a bright, clear tone; and […]
Cell Phone Woes I’ve sure got cell phone woes tonight. Why do I forget about being sure my phone is properly charged — right when I’m expecting an important call?

Rain Gear Which cog is my rain gear? I know. Bad joke. But I sure needed rain gear this morning! I decided to ride the hybrid because of wet, muddy conditions. We had heavy rain yesterday; and things take quite a while to dry out. When I went outside, it was sprinkling a little; so I
Israel Did you ever think about a bicycle ride through Israel? It seems that the country is a good place for cycling. The Negev includes trails both for experienced riders; and for families who want to ride together. There’s some great scenery along the way, too! Cycling is popular in the city of Tel Aviv;

Shortchanged It’s easy to let some things get shortchanged. In my eagerness to work towards my Love to Ride mileage goal, I too often neglect cooking. Heavy work on this web site hasn’t helped! Sunday is normally long-ride day; but today I decided to skip it and head for the supermarket. The salvage store had
