I miss my bike.
er…bikes, plural.
Well, at any rate, I miss riding. So May is, in addition to being National Bike Month, my Personal Bike Month (aka PBM).
Backstory
When I lived in Wisconsin, I rode my bike a lot. I rode to class in college and in law school. I rode to the various jobs I had [...]

Bike Month 2011
Wednesday, April 27th, 2011
Hello cyclists! It’s almost May…
As you may be aware, May is National Bike Month! Now, I’ve been absent from this blog since sometime last year, which is a real shame, and is something that happened for a lot of reasons. Some of the reasons are pretty silly, and some are pretty serious statements about cycling [...]
Gnarliest Commute Awards
Friday, September 24th, 2010
I put out a request to all my 2 Mile Challenge Gold Team members to tell me their gnarliest commutes–snowiest, rainiest, hottest, coldest, longest, whatever-est. I expected some pretty lame responses, along the lines of “one time, I had to ride 10 miles to get to work because there was a detour!”
But boy did I [...]

…And We’re Back
Tuesday, September 14th, 2010
I totally dropped off the face of the earth for the past month and a half. Here’s why, in brief (with longer updates to follow on some of this stuff):
It’s busy season at work: That’s right folks, corporate tax returns are due tomorrow, and we’ve been busting out little butts to get them done for [...]
A Team Gold Challenge
Friday, July 16th, 2010
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!
Thursday, June 17th, 2010
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 [...]
