I started riding my bike to work this week. Two days under the belt so far. On two different bikes no less. Tomorrow I’ll ride a different one. Maybe even finish out the week with the same routine. Sure makes the martinis taste nice.
What else I got?

I just got done being sick last week, even missed a day of work on Tuesday. Opted for the “full day in bed” plan – and it worked out swimmingly. Everything was groovy till my sister came through this weekend with her two kids. One had a fever of 102, the other [...]

I’m walking to work the other morning, I’m late, the sickness is just kicking in. Going back to bed seems like an excellent idea. At least it’s sunny.
On the other side of the street I see this dude in a black sweatshirt leaning over his bike and digging through a cardboard box. [...]

I’ve ridden a mountain bike a total three time in the last two weekends. That is pretty much the new record for the last 18 months of my life. I’m not particularly proud of it or anything, that’s just the way it is. And it is a record I hope to improve [...]

Haven’t touched a bike all week. Hope to break the chain ’round about Saturday morning. And that would be tomorrow.
Wish me luck. I’m going to need it.
Believe me.

Woman bicycling with shotgun strapped to back is arrested
It was a sight that would catch anyone’s attention — a woman riding a bicycle around St. Cloud, Minn., late at night in the bitter cold. Turns out there was another reason a citizen took notice: The cyclist was carrying a gun. [...]

As I watched last night’s debate with my family, I kept turning to either my wife on my left or my father on my right and saying, “I don’t think that question was fair.” Tim Russert was seemingly confused about who was the moderator and who was the debate participant. He’s sure [...]

I’m not ashamed to admit it, I had a photo of Bjarne Riis I cut out of some cycling magazine on the front door of my fridge back in ‘96.
My hero was a junkie.

Oh well. At least he hasn’t killed anyone.
