I did a quick mileage comparison between my car and bicycles over the weekend. I've put about 700 more miles on my bicycles this year than I have driven the car. If I can make it to August 9th on a quarter tank of gas, then it will be three months between fillups. I'm really …

Someone sent me a link to this absolutely amazing cycling video Some of these moves just don't seem like they should be possible. If it were up to me, I'd certainly add this as an olympic sport.

I just purchased a new set of tires for my car and was shocked to determine that the cost/mile of the tires on my car and those that I put on my bike are pretty much the same. They both ended up being somewhere around one cent per mile. There were assumptions made on both …

As with most every cyclist, I enjoyed following Lance Armstrong during his reign at the Tour de France. I had heard good things about this book and was not let down. As the title suggests, there is a minimal discussion of bike racing, although his life is so intertwined with the sport that he can't …

Nathan has become really interested in the space program. He love's to watch the HBO series From the Earth to the Moon and ask questions about absolutely everything that is happening.

It was my 18th commute this month and this month happened to be the first time I broke through the 700miles/month barrier. Perhaps it was in celebration of these accomplishments that caused it to be one of the most hectic days at …

I passed the 2000 mile mark today. You couldn't have asked for better cycling weather today, low 80s and the weatherguessers said 0% chance of rain. I've observed a few random things in recent commutes, that I thought I'd share with you. A few days ago, I passed a farmers field. As I approached, I …

I experienced my first sidewall blowout this morning on the way to work. Fortunately, it was on the rear wheel, so the extremely fast flat didn't really have much of an impact. As far as I can tell, there was no good reason for the failure; no brake pads rubbing on the tire, fender was …

I took one more bike commuting step today and turned in my parking pass! It was getting to the point where I just couldn't justify the $30/month for the few number of days I was driving to work. If nothing else, I figure this will motivate me to ride on those days where I may …
