Tonight at 8pm, Russ & Laura from Path Less Pedaled will be presenting at Bikes Not Bombs in Jamaica Plain. I’ll be there with The Runner, David, and Daniel. Should be a fun time. I’ve noticed lately that I smile, most of the time, while riding my bike. Unless I am going up a big [...] Read more |

Reach the Beach was an up. Pulling my hamstring and deferring for the Columbus Half was a down. Riding my bike was an up. Scoring a deal on a Long Haul Trucker (not for myself, sadly) was an up. Still riding my Jamis is a down, kinda, at least comparatively. Work is an up and [...] Read more |

On Sunday, Maureen and I rode to the food truck festival, which was, in my opinion, a little disappointing. Not because the idea of a whole slew of food trucks in one parking lot isn’t completely awesome (because it is), but because by the time we arrived, many of the trucks were out of food.

The title of this post pretty much sums up everything that is going on right now. Yesterday, I spoke with Mike at ANT. I have to say that I had heard how nice Mike was, but let me tell you, if I hadn’t been set on buying one of his gorgeous bikes, speaking with him [...] Read more |

The word “worth” has been on my mind lately. Assigning a dollar cost to items I’m selling on eBay is part of that, but what about the costs that appear elsewhere in daily life? There is an exercise in The New Good Life where you assign an hourly wage cost to things like your commute, [...] Read more |
