You are no doubt familiar with the term “Crap Cycling Infrastructure.” If only we could round up the people who designed some of these abominations, as well as the folks who pushed for their installation, and make them ride in them every day, there would be some changes made! I used to think that any […]
The Full Thunder Moon came through for us last night with a pop-up thunderstorm, right at ride time, that seemed to mushroom directly over our area. I was riding up Maguire on a 1974 3 speed Raleigh Sports (bolt upright riding position) when the storm started, and I began pedaling like mad toward the meet-up […]

On January 2nd of this year, I took my 13 year old samoyed, Khyber, for fiber optic- guided laparoscopic laser surgery at the University of Florida’s School of Veterinary Medicine. I had anticipated 2-3 day trip, but poor Khyber had complications that required emergency major abdominal surgery, and I ended up staying in […]

Orlando’s loss = Houston’s gain. Rodney is leaving us to relocate to Texas with his job. He’s been a big part of Orlando cycling, and he will be missed by many of us. We’re having a send-off ride for him on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 6:30 PM. This will be an easy, social ride, […]

Oh, dear me! Another city (Indianapolis) tries to accomodate bicyclists by painting some “creatively” designed lanes. http://www.wthr.com/story/16050449/bike-lanes-continue-to-confuse-drivers-riders This could go in the Cycling Infrastructure Hall of Shame. The video is cringe inducing.
