I am sad that I can’t make it to the Moonlight Ride this year. We’re going on vacation later than normal and I’m going to be out of town. Emma and I had a terrific time last year and if you’re in Richmond and have a kid to make the ride with I can’t recommend [...]
This is a terrific pairing of two things I enjoy very much. [via Make]
I’ve noticed some extra lateral play in my bike shoes the last couple of times I have been out riding. Throwing my foot out of line affects how I’m turning the crank and I’m sure the change from the normal motion played a part in the back/hip flexor pain I was fighting down in North [...]
As you know, I have gotten pretty into cycling over the last year and a half. I have done long training rides on weekends, weekend tours out of state, shorter charity rides here in Richmond with my daughter Emma, and of course 2009’s MS150 Ride.

Here’s a photo of the three of us on the CNC Spring Ride this past weekend. There were definitely adventurous elements to the weekend and I plan to get a recap posted soon. The photo made me giggle so I’m sharing it now.

Incredibly, the North American Handmade Bicycle Show was held in Richmond Virginia this year. I say “incredibly” because this is a high-profile event in the cycling world and RVA isn’t necessarily known for getting this kind of thing. Kudos to whoever pulled this off. Frame makers came from all over the world to display their [...]

There are demonstrators on site with [...]
I’ve been a fan of the “hey, here’s a nice scene” photos over at Eco Velo for some time now and this is my first meager attempt at one. I forget where I read it, but someone suggested that you should leave for your commute 20 minutes earlier than you think so if you see [...]
I finally finally caught some serious road bike time this weekend since it wasn’t raining here in RVA for the first weekend all year. It was tough going for a couple of reasons: 1) I haven’t been on the bike for any meaningful miles in well over a month and I am woefully out of [...]
