I saw my first Pedersen! ...And rode it.
March 30, 2010 - The Pedersen is a famous old bike design from the 1800's which is still made today and which has a global cult following.

Velocouture: all about knee socks
January 26, 2010 - I'm picking up speed in the kneesocks department. I've been pushing knickers and high, high socks for XC skiing for awhile now. I've even veered them into cycling where knickers have been big for awhile now but usually in lycra and with short socks.
I even admit to stepping out on the town in more of a formal knicker and high... > Read

I recently bumped into three books that seemed to suggest this as well. They provoked me into trying to sort this out f... > Read

What do they have in common?
--They're both into outfits and are into going gungho for what they're into.

Ode to a Kabuki...
December 02, 2009 - "My Fixie, My Kabuki"
by Rodger Bowser
Last week was one of the saddest days ever for me in the the garage. I was fine-tuning my Lemond into a 1X8 cyclocross machine and I had some extra time to look at getting the Kabuki back up in running. It is almost winter, after all. I was going to give it the usual new chain w... > Read

Wildest Bike Videos Ever: Lucas Brunelle
November 13, 2009 - Lucas Brunelle is the godfather of bike action video. He shows the over-the-top world of the messengers. He started with NYC vids and has since gone around the world shooting.
Check out both his site and his YouTubes. I think other folks put them up on YT. They often remix new music to them.

September 22, 2009 - When we visited San Francisco this summer we checked out Little Tokyo. We all like Japanese pop culture stuff...and food...in our family.
I've long been attracted to the Japanese bike scene and their mags have been my access point, but they've been few and far between. And, of course, all I get are the pictures. But since t... > Read
