So there is work being done to add other venues of communication and interaction with the Falls Area Bicyclists. Even though there are more options this does not mean there are more places you have to go to find out information. The communication will be consolidated so if a we have an official communication put in one place it will be posted in the other places. So pick your poison. It's all

Nothing all that exciting in my wacky world. Much weirdness at work, which I can't talk about so the next best thing to talk about is I am having a meeting tomorrow to strategize, refine, mold and create a plan for improving propaganda and propaganda flow for the local bike club and website.Until next time, stay under the radar and keep yourself out of the kill radius.

I sent an email to the Parks & Recreation department on July 28th about the lack of exit points on the Bike path up North.I received an auto response that I would receive a response in something like 7 hours. It has now been 7 days.If the company I work for had a response time like that I would be out of a job and the company would not exist. I am just saying.A city councilor who has been on

Doug states, "I cant' imagine ever driving a vehicle to work again."Check out his post called Seven years as a car-free commuter at mnbiccylecommuterIt gives me something to strive for. That, and there are other locals that have been commuting to work for years.

If a person travels on the bike path and approaches Benson Road from the South you may have noticed that there used to be a gravel trail going up to the street. Now it is filled in with grass. On the other side of the Benson Road bridge you could take a gravel and dirt trail onto the the private property of Smurfit Stone. Then you have to hop across the street to head left. Benson is a very busy

My blog states, "mostly bike related" and this post is will not be about cycling. I will do my best to keep your interest though.Yesterday I was asked by a co-worker if I owned any guns. I said no. He went on a rant that I better go out and buy some because soon we will not be able to own a gun because of our current president.I truly believe every law abiding American citizen should have the

1. An abundance of goose poop; bike trail at Cherapa Place. Can't we kill some of these and feed the hungry?2. A pickup coming at me on the bike trail at about 10th with a thick fog following it. It was mosquito control and I rode right into the thick fog of mosquito killer.3. A beautiful bouncing belly button on 26th and Interstate 229 bridge. It was a very fit, young,

Photo from www.cycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09It seems like the more I am riding out of necessity the less I am interested in heading out to the highways of no where for no reason. I don't know, maybe this will pass but it seems on the side of boring to me to ride 40 miles down the highways and bi-ways. Maybe if I had a purpose or destination such as: Riding to Brooking to see my sister

Today will be 2 weeks straight commuting. 2 weeks straight, no driving. "It's just another day" as I was quoted in theArgus on TDK while fixing a flat in the rain.I broke another spoke on Wally last night. I was lucky the wheel held together enough to get home. Hoofing it 6 miles would not have been fun.I am not ready to say I am car-less. I have a car with a dead battery. I am in no hurry to
