Hi people! I have moved to: The Freedom Machine

Bob Mionske: Man O' Bike Law

Bob Mionske: Man O' the Law (blond guy in the middle)

I just ordered Bob Mionske's Bicycling and the Law and can't wait to read it. I have become obsessed with knowing what the law says about cycling--which comes in handy when refuting junk when I hear it! I like knowing not only my responsibilities, but my rights. I will post more on this as I learn more so stay tuned!

Ride on people!

Pushing Pedals, Not Budgets

This article appeared in the New York Times today--I LOVE that it is school children who are being trained to learn bike mechanics and helping others gain more control and freedom over how they get around. Awesome!

Welcome back to the bikey life!

Last night was the first night I have been able to get to Cycle Recycle and it was AWESOME! I remembered how to do stuff that I was not sure I could do. Had lots of patient help from others and laughed a lot. I have stayed in 'ok' shape this winter by going to the gym but my thighs were still burning when I got home last night. Nothing like a good burn! :-)

I am so ready for Bike, Walk, and Wheel Week!

Miles: 7

Stuff I heard:

Guy: Is that how you say duodenum?
Girl: Yeah, I say do-ah-deh-numb. How do you say it?
Guy: I say duo-dee-numb too. Me and my wife have had some intense conversations about that.

Cycling with Parkinson's

An article in the New York Times covers some research on how patients with Parkinson's, people who cannot walk unassisted, are able to ride a bike! It is very cool so check it out!
