Getting There Is Half The Fun

  We recently had one of those perfect October Florida days, with cooler temperatures, a light breeze, and plenty of sunshine: superb bicycling weather! Biker Rick and his family walked a few blocks to my house Saturday afternoon, where they tried out some folding bikes and each selected one that suited them. Karla chose a […]

Save the Date! Saturday October 29, 2011

Commute Orlando’s S-Cargo will have a pumpkin carving/cargo toting/Halloween ride on the evening of Saturday, October 29th, 2011, so be sure to save the date and join in the festivities.  Details to follow, but the event will likely start around 5:00 PM at a location near downtown Orlando.  As usual, everyone is invited, and every […]

Cleaning Up

Perhaps your idea of bicycle maintenance is taking your Pashley Sovereign Roadster, with its fully enclosed chaincase, to the shop once a year for its annual service. Perhaps you call someone to come pick you up if you have a flat. Maybe you like to take care of basic bicycle maintenance yourself, and can quickly […]

Ice Cream Ride!

Full Moon Fever Ride/ CANCELLED

  Come join us this Friday, July 15, 2011, for the Full Moon Fever Ride. What better way to kick off your weekend than with a bicycle ride on a hot summer night, with the full Thunder Moon rising?  There’s nothing like a ride on your bike to put the stress of the workweek behind you. […]

WELL WOULDN’T YOU KNOW IT!

As is so often the case with Central Florida weather, within minutes of cancelling the First Friday Ride, the dark clouds dissipated, the sun broke through, the birds started singing, and a heavenly choir of angels descended with…well, maybe it wasn’t quite that dramatic, but almost! Jason and I went up to Loch Haven Park […]
