This Is My Bike…

Mister Viddy — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:04:13 +0000

…there are many like it but this one is mine. Without me, my bike is useless. Without my bike, I am useless.

On a side note, it never fails to cause me to flinch whenever I am riding in downtown Minneapolis and I glance over at a car, truck or SUV and see that it contains just a single individual. Regardless of what size the vehicle it almost always has just the one person in it. Yes, I know that some of these people have just dropped off a child or spouse or maybe they are handicap in some way but I also have to believe that a vast majority of drivers are just hardwired to drive.

Anywho, I don’t have the time to go off on a rant so let me just say this, have a nice day.

Week 3: 30 Days of Biking

Alright Minneapolis, I’m on to your bipolar weather scene and now I am geared up and ready to tackle week 3 of 30 Days of Biking with a vengeance. This weekend I adjusted my chain and rewrapped my handlebars, pulled out the rain pants and bought plenty of ramen noodles. The city awaits, and I am rolling into that great unknown. Bike don’t fail me now!

Friday: The City Awaits

It’s Friday and the city awaits my arrival. There’s a storm brewing on the horizon and I’m trying my best to beat it before I get drenched. This is the city. Minneapolis. The town that time forgot. With a little luck I will make it into my office safely and be able to live again for another day. In Minneapolis we live life one hour at a time, it’s all that we can do.

So light a candle for me and wish me luck as I continue to pedal towards the city.

In Which We Bike For 30 Days

Heading into the closing stretch of my second week of this year’s 30 Days of Biking and I am feeling good. Hopefully we can do a family ride this weekend.

Week 2: 30 Days of Biking

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.

Funk: The Midtown Greenway

It’s too cool to be hot, the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis is the place to bike and be seen in the Twin Cities. So grab a bike and juice up before hitting the pavement. The Midtown Greenway will not disappoint you. Just watch out for the commuter traffic.

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.

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.
