The Ride: Winter Edition & Possible Fall Challenge
I’d hoped I would ride through most of December and then mostly not ride January, February and into March. But, December got nasty fast. I rode most of the first week but after that the temperature dropped and it got snowy and rainy (and even when it was actively snowing or raining there was slush [...]

I enjoyed this so much last year, I decided to do a consolidated top 10 list again this year for the things the world that struck me as being the best of the year.
1) Will! He had the top spot last year and he does this year too (and wouldn’t it be wrong if he [...]
The Ride: The Accident…
This week is the seven month anniversary of starting to ride a bike as my preferred method of commuting. Last night on the way home I had a milestone that I could’ve done without: my first accident.
I was just a few blocks from work, riding down 5th Avenue as I’ve been doing for a couple [...]
The Ride, Weeks 21-24
Six months of riding is oh so close. What a great time it’s been!
Not surprisingly, the more I bike the less there is to blog about it becuase it’s becoming routine. A couple things of note in the past couple weeks though:
1) I’ve changed my route home. One day in week 21 there was some [...]
The Ride, Week 20
It was a much better week for biking as the weather returned to something less gross than the previous week. We actually had morning temps in the high 60s/low 70s and a decent breeze so the rides were pleasant.
Nothing extraordinary really happened during the week. I managed to ride four days of five (Monday was [...]
The Ride, Weeks 17, 18 & 19
Even though I haven’t blogged a lot, I’ve been on the bike nearly everyday. In fact, since the beginning of week 17 (back on August 3), I’ve only had one non-bike to work day and that was August 3 because I had my usual post-work time in Brooklyn.
As it’s gotten hotter it’s been great being [...]
The Ride, Week 16
Four months on the road… and it was a decent bike week to celebrate. As usual, I was off the bike on Monday. Friday was also a skip day because of the high chance of rain. While I would’ve made the morning commute just fine, coming home would’ve been extremely unpleasant.
I’d already pushed my luck [...]
The Ride, Week 15
As expected, it was a short bike week. I got the bike from the shop on Tuesday evening and a brief, but soggy, ride home. I didn’t ride on Wednesday because I couldn’t remember if there was a place to park near the dentist office (which there is, so I’ll know that for the next [...]

The Ride, Week 14
Week 14 was not a good week. It started out well enough with good rides on Tuesday and Wednesday as the weather continued to be fabulous. But, I apparently punctured a tire on the way home Wednesday night becuase I was greeted with a flat tire Thursday morning. This wasn’t something I could quickly take [...]
