Oh Snap: The Midtown Greenway

Mister Viddy — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:05:04 +0000

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.

Working On Bike Art

The past couple of weeks has seen me breaking a sweat while trying to drum up some new bike themed art. After many false starts it looks like my effort will pay off with three new posters. A sneak peak is below.

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.

Raleigh Technium Tri-Lite

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.

Shameless Self-Promotion Time!

Something About Bike Wheels

Mister Viddy — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:59:11 +0000

It’s currently -2 outside but all I can think about is getting a new wheelset for my bike. The bike itself is an old Nishiki Olympic that I converted to single speed but the current wheels do not have a machined breaking surface on the side and that can be treacherous when the weather is freezing. So for the moment I am taking a break from The Mask Project and focusing on cycling. Which makes even me wonder about things like sanity. This morning I had to warm up the car and scrape ice from the windshield and just that little exposure to the cold had my fingers burning. Yes, I was wearing gloves but still, it was dang cold.

Anyhoo, I suppose that once the temperature hits the single digits in the positive I will hit the bike shops and see what I can find in the way of single speed wheelsets. Craigslist has been a bust so far.

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.

Day 105: Weekend Wrapped

The weekend wrapped before it even began. So I’m serving up this Polaroid of me on my bike at the Elmonica MAX platform. Cheers!

Day 88: One Headlight

Mister Viddy — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:38:44 +0000

I feel good. Today was an absolutely shitty day at work and I almost threw my computer through the window but once 6pm rolled around and I was out the door things improved tremendously. The bike ride home from work was so enjoyable now that I have a proper headlight to light my path. I’m speaking of course of the Cygolite Pace 135 headlight that I recently scored on sale at Performance Bike. Seriously, this single light kicks ass. I no longer feel like I am risking life and limb when I ride through the near pitch black sections of my route home. As I said once before, I now look forward to riding at night. I don’t know why I waited so long to get a serious headlight for my bicycle.

And as an added bonus, Google added a new biking tool to their already awesome map!
