Trail Ramblings: Have You Tried It?
For the most part, the new N Street protected bikeway has been getting good reviews from what I’ve been reading and hearing. Yes, there will have to be more motorist education. We’ve seen the photos of cars trying to use it as a turn lane. I also understand complaints by cyclists of it being too slow. I think there are probably better ways to deal with traffic turning across the bike lane than giving cyclists […]

Trail Ramblings: Is It Better Riding In The Rain Or Snow? Either, If You're Prepared.
Your resolve to bicycle commute may weaken when you look at the forecast and rain and snow is what you see, but your plans don’t have to change if you are prepared. Cold weather riding in the rain is certainly different than the summer variety, and harder to stay comfortable in than snow, but it doesn’t need to be unpleasant and even has it’s perks.

I managed to shove my derailleur into my tire in the […]
