The retarded people from HostDepartment.com (our first hosting company) allowed a cyber squatter to snatch my domain even though I was supposed to have the domain ‘for life’. Anyhow, while my dispute is still in process, we’ve switched TheBikeGeek.com to TheBikeGeek.net. By the way, the bike geek’s gas saving calculator was the first and the [...]

Well, I feel like a dork. Why? I took my first spill today. I was riding back from picking up my lunch when I heard a big truck breathing down my neck, so I got a little closer to the gutter so he can pass me… Well, he didn’t so I assumed that he was [...]

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.

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!
