Post-Apocalyptic Cycling 01-10-2012

My children might tell you that I tend to pontificate during episodes of The Walking Dead about the way the survivors could simplify their journey by ditching the cars and trucks and setting out on bicycles instead. And then, during commercials, I go into my reasons. They […]

Indian Creek Trail Mile Marker 3 has Moved 01-06-2012

In September I mentioned that the new mile marker at mile 3 was either a stroke of traffic calming genious or poor planning. Looks like it was the second option since enough of us must have complained that the marker has now been moved.From General Bike PixThe marker has […]
