Week 2: 30 Days of Biking

Mister Viddy — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:21:20 +0000

Week 2 of 30 Days of Biking is off to a strong start despite the wind and drop in temperature. This morning I arrived at work downtown with numb feet from the brisk winds along the Hiawatha Bike Trail but overall nothing beats commuting by bike. As long as my trusty bike holds up I will be riding all week long and beyond.

Oh Snap: The Midtown Greenway

Today found me riding the Midtown Greenway. On the return trip home I sidetracked up onto 10th Avenue and took some photos and shot a little video. Below is one of those photos. The video is still being edited. Enjoy.

Nice Ride In Minneapolis

After a few weeks of debating the virtues of bike sharing/rentals I purchased yearly subscriptions from Nice Ride MN for me and the family. The keys arrived yesterday and this morning we went and took a ride along the Midtown Greenway. The overall experience was wonderful. You insert your key into any available bike, adjust the seat and then pedal away. I wasn’t too sure how these green monsters would handle but it turns out that was not an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and look forward to many more before November, when they remove the bikes for the season.

I’ll tell you what, if you live in the Twin Cities then I recommend you check out Nice Ride MN. If you live in another city that offers this service, ditto. And if you live in a city that is considering a program like Nice Ride then you need to support it. You won’t be disappointed. Nice Ride? Indeed.

Getting Ready To Ride

Good-gosh almighty. It has been entirely too long since my last ride so weather permitting, I plan on hitting the streets tomorrow. Forecast calls for thunderstorms so I am taking a wait and see approach. Regardless, I am taking the first window of opportunity I see.

Nice Ride = Spring In The Twin Cities

So the Nice Ride racks are starting to reappear in the Twin Cities so it must mean that Spring has sprung.

I am compelled to post a photo of my “new” old road bike that I found on craigslist. It is a 1988 Raleigh Technium Tri-Lite with a mix of Shimano and Suntour components.

Day 134: Bad Day/Worse Day

Mister Viddy — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 03:37:06 +0000

Turmoil. Angst. Anxiety. And now, nothing. But at least for one small part of the day I was on my bike, happy and free.

Day 111: Strike A Post – Lemond Fillmore

My Lemond Fillmore. The following images were taken at the Hawthorn Farm MAX platform on a rainy day in April. This day in April as a matter of fact. I have the Lemond for just over a year now and it continues to be a joy to ride. I really love singlespeed bicycles. The clean lines and simplicity make riding single speed a real joy.

Oh yeah. Talk about hybrid energy, I mix it up between MAX and my Lemond singlespeed. Take a break from your gas powered vehicle and give bicycles a try.
