Spring 2014 and moments from the past two years

Back To Your Regular Scheduled Commute

Well everyone, nice to see you again.  After a huge delay in posts due to a move to a city (that appreciates bike culture as seen by the comment section here)– did you see the notice the name change?—commuting to work via bicycle has one again resumed.  Check back for more awesomesauce as the world turns.

Let the Winds Blow You Home ...

Yo!

Happy to be back in the saddle.  Cruising to and from work with a smile on me face.  Albeit dark in the morning, and now, as well as the past two weeks, blistering hot in the evening (with WIND); I still pedal on with a smile. <~ Now that's some sentence structure!

By the way, this is what gas prices look like here in the middle of the country ...

P.S.  To the guy in a full Bianchi kit on Sunday morning (you know who you are).  It's not the cars fault when you run a red light and said car has a green arrow.  Quit running reds and giving us cyclist a bad rep with the cagers.  Yes, i just stuck up for a cager.  So be it. 

There Comes a Time ...

Well well well, it has been a might while, no?  Bitter cold mornings, illness, laziness, etc ... All excuses on why I have been off the bike these past couple months.  I apologize.  I promise to make it right with you. 

We just saw the dreaded Spring Forward event, which means the commute in is shrouded in inky black darkness.  While this is no fun, on the other end of the day we see much much more sun.  Yesterday the sun set at 7:30. 

I like it.  SO, expect more posts coming soon.  Not too soon though, as I am on vacation starting Wednesday, March 14th through Sunday, March 17th.  I will be back in action the following Monday. 

Have a great National Get a Leprechaun Drunk Day. 

Bicycle Safety

If you feel down in the dumps or need a mid-day pick me up, please check out this 1940s bicycle safety manual.

One of my favorites:

The British are Coming! The British are Coming!

Check out this article from the Irish Times about a bus driver who used his bus as a weapon against a cyclist.

Monday Morning Snow

Still snowing here in the frozen wasteland of Omaha.  This means the bike sits snugly in its coral. The last time I rode, if you remember that long ago, I had a run in with my favorite driver:

Well, this recent post appeared on a San Fransisco community webumatic page.

I also see Yehuda Moon got in on the driver v. cyclist fun too.

Good times.  Hope to get out there and see ya as soon as the big freeze is over.
