Today I was reading one of my favorite blogs and I came across this press release:

Team CarboRocket is looking for a few good, ordinary folks who are on the verge of doing something extraordinary. You may not even know what that extraordinary thing is yet, but you can feel it burning inside of you. Hopefully, [...]

LIVESTRONG Challenge 2010

Posted 13 December 2009 | By dartanyon | Categories: Cycling, blogging | 1 Comment

The Seattle LIVESTRONG Challenge Ride is a mere 6 months away. I’ll be taking part again this year. And to be honest, I couldn’t be more excited; more nervous; more proud; and more honored. More excited, because it feels good to do good. To raise money to fight a horrible thing [...]

DIY Bike Repair Stand

So I was doing a little tune up on my bike and was fumbling around trying to turn the crank with one hand and hold the rear wheel off the ground with the other, and I finally just got fed up. I needed a stand to work on my bikes with. A little [...]

Bike to School Month – Tune Up Day!

Posted 20 May 2009 | By dartanyon | Categories: Cycling, family | 4 Comments

I had so much fun helping to organize a “Walk & Roll Wednesdays” program, trying to encourage the children of Sanislo Elementary, and families, to find ways of getting to school that don’t involve driving. So, with Feet First, and the Go! Project we have organized this little effort to persuade folks to walk and [...]

Summer Streets

Summer Streets

Posted 12 May 2009 | By dartanyon | Categories: Cycling, family | No Comments

This Bike to Work/School Month has not gone so well thus far. On the days when I had the time to bike the weather has been a major disappointment, and on the days that it was nice out I undoubtedly needed to use the car.
Luckily one of my very favorite summer events is coming [...]

Yesterday was the 60 days out mark, for the Seattle LIVESTRONG Challenge ride. I’ve been getting in more and more training, and am pretty confident I’ll be crossing the finish line come June 21st. Where I am sorely lacking though … is in the sponsors and donation department. Aside from my own [...]

Philly Pedal Co-Op, Doing it right!

Posted 17 April 2009 | By dartanyon | Categories: Cycling | 2 Comments

Thanks to Cyclelicio.us, for pointing this out this morning.
I’ve always felt a strong connection to Philly. I grew up in North Eastern, PA, and while my brother always felt a strong connection to NYC, I always appreciated the gritty, real, feeling of Philadelphia.
Here’s a short video of some folks in Philly trying to do [...]

S is for Bicycle

S is for Bicycle

Posted 07 April 2009 | By dartanyon | Categories: Cycling | 29 Comments

Well, I suppose technically “S” is not for bicycle, but for spring, in this case. However in my mind as the weather turns towards spring, and the calendar turns to April, I turn to bikes.

I’ve had my Raleigh Sojourn since the first week in December, but with the weather around here in Seattle I [...]

Can someone tell me if I still live in Seattle.

Can someone tell me if I still live in Seattle.

I realize for much of the country, winter weather is a fairly typical. Winter comes in waves of snow and ice, and bitter cold. That being said the pattern here in Seattle is usually something like this … Some small bit of winter in late December, followed by near summer like weather [...]

Alki Car-Free Day – Won’t you come join me?

So when I first heard that Alki Ave might be closed one day in the summer to all car traffic, I was thrilled! So now that there is a date and time, and even a map, and a website. I invite you all to come over to our house on Sunday the 7th [...]
