Almost Heaven – Country Roads
After 7 weeks now, I am finally able to ride – and I did. I put the new SPD’s on the Woodstock that CBB sent me, and went to my favorite bike shop to get some new Shimano Shoes to go along with them. I’ve got some new Mavic wheels, dressed with Continental Country Roads…
Bike Power!!!
A little pricey, but you can create enough electricity to power the boob tube while you train. If you are a cyclist, you know the value of winter training. But do you know the value of your exertion? Your energy is being turned into heat by your trainer. Recapture your energy! The Bike Power generator…

KHS Urban X Preview
I went to take the KHS Latte back to KHS, then in return, the great people at KHS lent us a nice Urban X. If you think that this bike looks a lot like the Kona Smoke, I’d say you are correct. I’ll be giving the Smoke a rest while I ride the Urban X…
Xootr Swift-er
The Xootr Swift has become one of my favorite bikes to ride. My buddy Anthony and I hit the river trail for a quick 30 mile ride on the San Gabriel River Bed. I decided to change the Xootr a little bit, I added some Aero bars that I got from Ebay and a Minoura…
Two Things I Hate
There are two things I can’t stand in this world… 1. Dog Poop! Oh man I HATE DOG POOP! I hate it hate it hate it! I hate seeing it, smelling it and especially stepping in it! 2. Flat tires. Nothing gets me like a flat tire. Its the ultimate joy killer. Any suggestions on…
Got Locks?
This might be a great alternative to the Street Cuff Dilema.
Rain Rain Go Away…
Man this is starting to drive me crazy! There’s more rain forecasted this week…. I know that I’m complaining now, but there’s such a big payoff once summer hits.
Street Cuffs – SNAP!

Back on The Trainer
I decided to get some mileage while watching TV. So I set up the Ibex Corrida and the Kurt Kinetic Trainer in my living room. I actually needed to train for the City Of Angels Ride coming up on the 30th. But do you see my left knee in the picture below. It…

Wandertec Sax On the Way
After a winter of bike commuting, the arrival of spring makes the bike commuting that much more fun. I’ve been dusting off the mountain bike for some much needed trail riding as well. We are looking into the possibility of sharing some space at Interbike with our local friends at VooDoo cycles… https://www.voodoocycles.net/ . We…
How Skinny is Too Skinny?
I know for myself, being husky and big boned. Being a super small skinny racer is as far from me achieving it as winning the lotto is. However, I couldn’t help but notice how fit and skinny some of the racers that The Steeps featured on a posting. Is it me or is being “fit”…
Someone Doesn't Like High Gas Prices
Check this out…. DETROIT – A gas station on the city’s west side had to turn away angry motorists in need of fuel Tuesday morning. After all, it’s hard to pump gas without a nozzle. Someone stole all eight nozzles overnight from the pumps at the Citgo station. “We don’t know what they would do…
It Never Rains In Southern California
Theres a song…before I was born…that talks about how it never rains in Southern California. Well, that songs is so wrong right about now. It’s been raining at least once a week here and as I look outside…yup its raining cats and dogs. With all this rain, I’ve seen people use rain gear for commuting,…
Rain and Motorists Means Wet Cyclists
So there you are riding your bike, its raining and all you want to do is get to your destination. Then out of no where, some punk motorist splashes you with water from a near by puddle…. Now you’re wet and pissed! What do you do? Or better yet, what can…
To Bad You're Stuck In Your Car
We have been brainstorming ideas for slogans for t-shirts. Whenever I’m cycling through traffic I always feel a sense of pride to be out in the open air getting myself where I want to go. I also usually feel a little bad for the poor sops stuck in traffic in their metal and plastic exoskeleton….
Respect?
I’ve noticed that I get more respect by motorists when I commute by bike than when I ride my road bike with full ‘roadie gear’. My theory is that some roadies are just pompous asses and disrespect motorists AS WELL as other non-roadie cyclists. While most commuters do respect traffic and pedestrians, and we are…
I want you…I want you as my hood ornament
I was checking out one of my favorite blogs, C.I.C.L.E and stumbled upon this post: Rick Roberts Morning show Monday through Friday from 6am to 10 am on 760 KFMB AM San Diego, says that cyclists are responsible for 90% of all accidents that occur between a cyclist and a car. His main beef seems…
Fer Yer Viewin' Pleasure
Yes, you’re absolutely correct, this video has NOTHING to do with commuting. But once you watch it, you’ll see that it makes more sense to ride your bike in the city rather than taking a car.
