The Bullitt cargobike looks like loads of fun. (It’s okay. You can groan…) It has enough cargo space for a typical grocery run, even for a family of six. Need lockable (or rainproof) storage? Larry vs Harry has that covered, too. The cargobike would be great for family bike rides. They could become picnic runs, [...]

I Need a New Bike
The second bike I ever rode was a red Schwinn cruiser, very much like the bike pictured above. What a great bike! I remember how I would get that bike moving. I’d push the bike and turn its left pedal with my hand until the right pedal was just forward of top dead center. Standing [...]
On the Idaho Stop
[T]he year after the Idaho Stop became law, bicycle injuries in the state actually declined by 14.5 percent. (Source.)
Enacting the “Idaho stop” might not only postpone the habitual flouting of traffic laws until after getting a driver’s license, it might also prevent some injuries.

“Idaho stops” for bicycles makes a lot of sense. I hope it becomes law in Oregon.

Brother-in-law Rob and I took the boys and Ashley for a bike ride on the Bayocean spit. We went up the east side, relatively protected from the wind, and returned on the beach, with the wind at our backs. We’d like to think we planned it that well, but it was just dumb [...]

This ride took me by Intel’s Oregon campuses. Intel’s Oregon site is its largest because it includes all [...]

I figured I’d go for a longer bike ride today. I had some extra time and energy.

According to my bike computer, I went 16.7 miles, only 0.3 miles longer than my typical ride. Oops!
Come Ride With Me
I rode my bike this evening for a little exercise. Come along for the ride.

It’s probably easier to view a larger map and click through the symbols in order.
Making this map reminded me of memory maps.
The Economy of Bicyling to Work
I rode my bike to work four days last week and a couple of days the week before. Am I saving money? Let’s check the receipts:
$29.50 for bicycling gloves
$23.00 for bar end grips
$??.?? for the new helmet I need to buy today
If I had driven to work and out for lunch as I normally do [...]
