Can You Believe It? Can you believe it? Yesterday I actually did some cleaning! The bathtub/shower badly needed work. I tend to neglect it all Winter long, because it’s so darned cold in the bathroom. Evenings, I don’t have time. Weekends, I want to work on the web site; and after a long Sunday ride […]

I’m Shot! I’m shot today; and I don’t mean firearms. Why does a COVID booster have me waking up the morning after — feeling like the morning after? I was really tired; and my arms and legs ached. I figured I was in no condition to attempt a 40-mile ride; so I did a slow-paced
Keep Cool Keep cool with the Arctic Zone Cooler! I have something similar to this; and it’s handy for taking lunch to work. In hot weather, I often take it to the salvage store with me. That means using the trailer, because the cooler takes up most of the space in a pannier. The Arctic
I Miss These! I miss these Breakfast Ovals! I found them at the salvage store a few times; but that was long ago. Breakfast Ovals became an instant addition to my Shop once I tried them. I like berries; and as I remember, there’s some cinnamon in these, too. Thankfully, I don’t have any food
Baleaf Jacket This BALEAF cycling jacket for women helps make chilly-day rides more comfy. It’s lightweight; waterproof; and is available in a variety of colors. Reflective highlights improve its visibility. The sleeves are removable, so the jacket can be converted into a vest. Sometimes it’s too cool to not have a jacket; but at the
Clipped! It sounds funny to talk about clipped when speaking of toe clips. They aren’t the same thing as riding clipped in. I’ve used two different styles of toe clips: the kind with straps; and the strapless variety. The type with straps were OK when I was still on the trike. I didn’t have to
Odd Day This has been an odd day. It always seems that way when I skip the Sunday long ride. But now and then I need the break; and I needed to go to Whole Foods, anyway. If I do the long ride, it’s late morning by the time I get back home; there’s more
First Fall I’ve had my first fall with the new hybrid already; and it wasn’t about autumn foliage, either. It happened on the way home from the salvage store. When it’s time to ride up the access road to the top of the levee, I shift to my granny gear. Unfortunately, I’m not used to
Wouldn’t You Know! Wouldn’t you know! I rode my new hybrid to work today; and by late morning it was pouring. The General sure got christened! I’m not parking the General in the same place where I used to park my old hybrid. I found some bike racks that have a security camera right there!
General Tso General Tso sounds like something you find in a Chinese restaurant. In fact, I got Chinese take-out for lunch today; and chose the General Tso’s Chicken combo plate. How did that come about? Today I went to the bike shop to get my new hybrid; and all morning I was cudgeling my brains
