A fix for Douche bag drivers?

April 29th, 2008 · 7 Comments

I consider myself lucky that Florence Avenue is pretty wide. It is wide enough to accommodate 3 lanes, the thing is; there’s only two. But that doesn’t stop the douche bag drivers from driving illegally on the right hand side to pass 3 or 4 cars.
The City of Santa Fe Springs must have [...]

Lunch gitter and why do they stare?

April 28th, 2008 · 34 Comments

Every other Friday I have to drive to work; however, I always take a bicycle to take care of errands or to ride to lunch. I like to visit a local sandwich maker (with better tasting subs than Subway) that is about 1/2 mile away from work. Last Friday I took my newly-acquired [...]

A Confession and an Angry Letter

April 17th, 2008 · 27 Comments

Ok, here’s my confession: I read women’s magazines — Cosmo, Glamour, Jane, Lucky, etc. What can I say? I’m a print junkie and a librarian…magazines are all over the place in both my home and my office!
So, the other day, I was flipping through the May 2008 issue of Marie Claire magazine, [...]

Dang, I hate it when that happens

February 11th, 2008 · 7 Comments

I hate it when I use my nether-regions to adjust my bicycle seat…just plain dislike the very essence of my saddle shifting out of it’s highly physically-resistant placement by nothing else except my bike-short-chamois and 180 pounds of Jeff.
I did it twice today.
So in what, to me at least, is a very natural progression of [...]

Your mom must be so proud

February 7th, 2008 · 6 Comments

We all fall victim to ranting in the passion of a moment, and this is just that. Call it a flaw of the internet for providing instant information and access to an audience.
I caved in and drove to work today - the first weak moment of the day (writing this being #2). I am not [...]

Fixed Gear Friday:Fake Fixies

February 1st, 2008 · 16 Comments

While browsing through LA’s Online Bike Flea Market (CraigsList) I noticed an interesting trend: Faux Fixies. What is a fake fixie? They are late model bikes that have been converted to single speeds but try to look like fixed gear bikes:

I really dig the concept of giving old bicycles new life, but I have mixed [...]

People are stupid…

January 16th, 2008 · 14 Comments

I’m going to vent a bit here…
I may have said this before, but people in big SUV’s…Excursions, Expedition, Tahoe, and the like all seem to think they are smaller than what they really are. They remind me of the evil step sisters in Cinderella trying on the glass slipper…they can’t fit cuz their feet are [...]

I should have worn a helmet…

This past Saturday I went down hard! I posted a video of me eating it on MtnBikeRiders.com. I hit my head pretty bad and luckily I wasn’t hurting too bad.
