Am I Blue? Am I blue; or was it only the bird? During my ride this morning, I saw what I thought was a bluebird! It wasn’t a jay; the shade of blue was wrong; and the bird was smaller than a jay. I could see only the bird’s back; but if I had been […]
Don’t Count Your Chickens Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched, as the saying goes. This morning I rode to the salvage store. There wasn’t much wind; and on the way there, the wind was against me. I was counting on a tailwind on the way home. Guess again. While I was waiting for the

Light Up Her Ride Light up her ride with the Schwinn Girl’s Lighted Basket! The motion-activated flowers require no batteries; and the adjustable velcro straps make installation and removal quick and easy.

This Sixthreezero EVERYjourney hybrid bicycle for women can make every journey a breeze. Its 500-watt motor is there to assist during tough climbs; or when battling a stiff headwind. There are seven gears, so you
I Lucked Out! I lucked out with the weather this morning; at least, as far as rain goes. The forecast last night didn’t look good for the ride to the salvage store. Then this morning I checked an hourly forecast; and according to that, the rain wouldn’t set in until about 11:00 am. The sky
Mirror on the Bike Mirror, mirror on the bike, can you show me what I like? I use a product similar to this Evo Bar End Mirror on my road bike; and it seldom shows me anything. The problem with it is, I’m liable to knock it out of position every time I reach down

Good Question What Do I Eat Now? is a good question when you’re faced with a diagnosis of prediabetes, or Type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed with the former some two years ago; and admittedly haven’t done at all well with my diet for the last year or so. Late February last year, I began
