You may have heard that we are throwing a little bike party next weekend and I was wondering if I might ask a favor of you…we want to get the word out about this thing so that everyone who has a bike that needs fixing can come by and get a free tune up.

The New Work Truck (and A Bit About Cats)
July 15th, 2008 · 11 Comments
I first have to apologize for the lame blogging here lately. I once got a critisism from this guy that our Blog was a “cat blog”. Meaning that we were only blogging about ourselves (Like someone who writes only about their cat and its boring to read) and not enough about other things. Ouch… Well [...]

Is It A Car? A Bike? A Hybrid?
October 31st, 2007 · No Comments
I saw this here and just had to go to the site to check it out. Granted, the Go-One isn’t the bike for the hardcore bike enthusiast but I think it hits a solid niche, filling some needs that traditional bikes don’t.

Cyclocity
August 1st, 2007 · No Comments
Check this out. The site is in French with a few other languages, but here is the idea:
Holland’s penchant for public pedaling is nothing new, but French firm JCDeaux’s new public bike-sharing system looks to rival even the Dutch model. Already a hit in Spain, Austria, and Belgium, Cyclocity members need only pay their minimal [...]

June 26th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Sometimes I feel like such an oddball biking to work and not going on Costco runs like my neighbors. I wonder if my fellow Americans (and neighbors) will ever change their ways to meet the crisis of the day.
