Friends from the Road

I've been thinking recently about all the friends I make on the road. Not friends I make while touring, although those are certainly special friends indeed, but the friends I make during my daily commute to and from work each day. The lady who somehow always ends up stopped at the same stoplight as me and says, "Do you really ride in ALL KINDS OF WEATHER?!" The little old man who gives me the thumbs up whenever I pass him walking on California Street. These people have become as important to my morning as my ritual cup of coffee, and I like to think that they look for me every morning, too.


I wanted to give a little shout out to Osprey Packs in this post because I have a bag (the Momentum 34) that I use for commuting all the time and it's totally awesome! I'm actually pretty sure that's how most of my road friends recognize me: the bright yellow bag cannot be missed. How do you carry your stuff to work? In a pannier? Backpack? Bucket?

Tour de France?Without Lance

A few years ago the Tour de France experienced a time of transition. For seven years Lance Armstrong stood on the podium wearing the yellow jersey. When he announced his retirement we all new things would change. Americans loved being represented by such a dominant champion. The years between his retirement and comeback were interesting. We [...]

A cyclist problem of bike storage.

Article by: Thom Milson
In the last few years, more and more people are starting to realise that we really need to think about changing the ways we get around, so that they are a lot more "green". The electric car seems to be the vehicle really being pushed, but for those of us that know that the majority of electricity is produced from burning fossil fuels, it is a sub-standard idea and the bike still remains best (I don't know if I have to claim the bike is best on a cycling blog, but never mind). If you live inner city like I do, you'll probably know that bikes can get stolen quite regularly. So what are our options, when it comes to the question 'where do we keep our bikes?' Obviously, indoors is the first place I would keep my bike, but I live in a house in which the front door enters straight into the living room and it can very annoying and often messy (during the wetter and muddier months) to store my bike indoors, especially when the three other people I live with, like the place clean and junk free, which for some reason, regardless of my opinions, includes my bike. So I have been pressured into leaving my bike outdoors, which is the last thing I want to do. Not only because of the possibility it could be stolen, but also because it cost me quite a lot of money (for a recent graduate) and I wouldn't like it to seize up due to rust and other conditions caused by the weather.
