I kid you not, there is an expert at everything on the internet.
Just so you know, there are people who claim to have the “secret” to riding in a bike lane next to parked cars like we have in Orlando in College Park and Baldwin Park.

Story on Growing Bolder
Andy was born with fetal alcohol syndrome 40 years ago. His adoptive and loving parents have always encouraged him to get involved in life and he has. He has a job, a lot of friends and gets all around town on his beloved bicycle. So, imagine his despair when [...]

(Helmet tip to Danc for posting the video on Yaybikes.)
Recent articles about the MBL law and the Jacksonville stabbing have brought out the anti-cyclist comment trolls. I typically avoid the comments, but even that isn’t working anymore.

Connectivity is one of our biggest challenges in Orlando. Between the lakes and the bad land use, it seems like a cyclist can’t go more than a few miles on shady, quiet streets without being channeled onto an arterial road.

I’m a Point A to Point B kind of guy.
I have never been impressed by what people drive, but I have to admit that I was prejudiced against Kia and Hyundai cars, not because I didn’t like their looks, but for several years they broke down a lot. Not reliable. But now Consumer’s Reports says [...]

As many of you may have noticed, I have been the Man-Around-Town with my custom trailer.  I originally built the trailer for grocery shopping and transferring my toolbox between hangars for work.
