Bad Days Above The Bike Path

Arrived at work today and went about my normal routine, which consists of wiping sweat off with my co-workers cardigan (before they arrive), making a mug of tea, and pouring over e-mail that doesn't concern me yet clogs my inbox.

As I made my way back to my desk from the tea making, I saw what appeared to be fire and rescue responders descending on the bridge outside my window. Below that bridge is a busy multi-use path that spans north/south across the city. 

Well, it appears that sometime in the wee hours, a man killed himself.  Sad news as he leaves behind a wife and three children.

Here is the story from the local paper.

Always remember the good things in your life those are the things that really matter ...

Back In The Saddle With You

Hello boys and girls.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.  It's a beautiful day for a bike ride.  It's a beautiful day to commute to work via bicycle. It felt damn good to be back in the saddle.

Snow overnight, but the extended forecast shows warming temps.

I am starting to feel better and should be back in the saddle after taking this past month off to recoup.  I start to go stir crazy when I sit at home/in my cube too long without fresh air and a saddle under my backside.  I promise to bring you fresh content and photos soon enough.

The winter lull/flu epidemic has given me time to do some well needed maintenance on the bikes. The usual cleaning, lubing, greasing, pumping, tightening, adjusting, etc ...

If you find yourself in need of a adjustment or repair while in the Midtown area, be sure to check out UNO's cool new set-up. Out of the elements too.

 
Keep up the cycling and keep it safe ...
