Wednesday’s World Bettering Video, worth the watch. Throws a little added perspective on things.
Bad Blog Man
Firstly … if you are a subscriber, I apologize, profusely. What kind of person doesn’t update their seldom updated blog for 4 months? How do I expect to keep anyones attention, or inspire action, or even reaction … I have no idea. I’ve been bad. I know. I’ll do better. A few things on the [...]
Fatty needs our help
Many people who read my blog, or know me, have heard me talk about The Fat Cyclist. I have often referred to him as my bike idol, my virtual guru. Seemingly trying to find fitness and health, through cycling and having some similar hurdles to me, aka kids and utter lack of time. I rode [...]
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 looking around [...]
Bike to School Month – Tune Up Day!
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
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 [...]
Denmark police harassing bicyclists
Denmark police harassing bicyclists … not in the way you would think of though … Tuesday’s world better video edition … enjoy.
Friends … I need your help!
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 starting donation, I [...]
Philly Pedal Co-Op, Doing it right!
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 [...]
S is for Bicycle
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 [...]
Thursday’s World Bettering Cool Video
via my Grandfather (Poppop) in Fitchville, Ohio (yes, really). From the award-winning documentary, “Playing For Change: Peace Through Music”, comes the first of many “songs around the world” being released independently. Featured is a cover of the Ben E. King classic by musicians around the world adding their part to the song as it travelled [...]
Wordless Wednesday
Oh … poor, neglected blog, how I miss you so … Something fun, quick, and easy until I can give you the attention you deserve.
Wicked cool visual effects
Some really great and amazing visual effects. A strange man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves. This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of ’405′. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post production. Branit [...]
