I’ve mentioned before that I’m the Gold Team Leader for Clif Bar’s 2 Mile Challenge, but I haven’t said too much about campaign, and today, I’m going to fill you in.
Clif’s 2 Mile Challenge is really important to me and my cycling style. I appreciate a good recreational ride as much as the next cyclist, [...]

The Do Something Awards
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Hey you bicycle-loving readers of mine!
It has been pointed out to me that VH1 is having an awards show called The Do Something Awards! So, why do I share this information with you, my fine readers? Naturally, because something bike-related is happening!
In the “City” category, Austin, TX has been named a nominee, in large part [...]
What if We Didn’t Need Bike-Car Accident Laws?
Friday, July 2nd, 2010
Yesterday’s post was all about what kind of bike-car accident laws should be in place. Should it be the case (as it is now) that these things should be handled only in civil lawsuits and settlements? Or should drivers of cars involved in accidents with cyclists be prosecuted on criminal charges?
I pretty much agreed with [...]
Are California’s Bike-Car Accident Laws Too Lax?
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010
My title today is a blatant rip-off of the title over at the GJEL Accident Attorneys Blog, but I wanted to keep it, because it’s a pretty important question, and giving this post another title would take away from that, in my opinion.
I’ve thought a lot about safety, as a cyclist. In fact, one of [...]
Eeeks!

Crazily enough, it’s been an entire month since I last posted. Fortunately, that’s because I have a kajillion things going on at once, and have’t had nearly as much time to write as I’d like to. I’ve got lots to cover, and I’ll try to cover a good portion of it in this post briefly, [...]
Bicycle Advocacy is Simple
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Bicycle Advocacy.
These two words are used a lot, usually by groups like the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, Bicycle Friendly Berkeley, and the like. And I fully support this thing called “bicycle advocacy.” I would even call myself a bicycle advocate. And as it’s Bike to Work Month, and there’s lots [...]
Bike to Work Day is May 13th
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
It’s that time of year again…time for Bike to Work Day!
As part of my commitment to my Earth Day resolutions, I decided to try biking part of my epic commute. I drive 50 miles each way on any given workday, and I feel pretty bad about my carbon footprint, and my general lack of exercise [...]

Now is the Time for Earth Day Resolutions
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010
I’ve been having a lot of bicycle guilt lately. Primarily because I have to drive to work in San Jose. It’s almost 100 miles of driving a day. I’m killing the planet, and I haven’t spent nearly as much time on my bike as I used to. I mean, I usually took BART to work [...]
Urban Assault Berkeley!
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010
This is way better than you think it’s going to be…
Normally when I think of urban assault riding, I think of the kind of riding Orion used to do in Madison all the time. He’d ride up or down flights of stairs, jump off various benches, curbs, and public art on the UW campus, and [...]
Hits the Spot

Quick update on the new Titus Motolite:
Last Thursday, Orion and I headed out for a little mountain biking just south of San Jose. We went to Santa Teresa County Park, which has some nice rolling hills, and not too much in the way of super difficult terrain. This was perfect, because it was the first [...]
