I have been pretty dang slack updating this website. Mostly because I got too bogged down trying to select photos to post from the Invasion of the Tourists alleycat race. Too many great photos! Too much fun.

But i have been busy! I have focused more attention in growing Bicycles First!. I will still write about random bicycles and funny things, but want to focus more on advocacy and safety. And don’t worry, I will continue my crusade against irresponsible office chair use. I still see it most every single day. Its a travesty. But i digress. Anyways, please check out Bicycles First! and share it with friends. Same shitty writing. Same blurry photos. But now with extra!!!

Snowballs in Key West

DSC00745

I took this a few weeks ago while waiting for lunch at Sandy’s on White street.  There were a few posts I wanted to keep at the top so I never put this one up. I thought an elf with snowballs in Key West was pretty damn funny; which is a great segue to complain about the cold on Monday night. WTF!?! I had to pedal home to grab a long sleeve shirt, vest and hat and was still chilly. Shorts prolly didn’t help matters. The low might have been 61, though that seems acceptably cold. However, last night the cold was not acceptable. I like cooler weather for riding and not being a sweaty mess, but last night’s libations commute felt like a fatal Artic trek. Ok, maybe not fatal, but we’re certainly losing a few digits to frostbite…

Happy New Years!

I love my job, I actually made it in at 12:15 and was somewhat fully functioning! Happy New Year to all, i hope everyone’s has been as good as mine and everyone made it home safe. I left my bicycle locked up at the Parrot and went home from the Alamo. The next day when i retrieved my bike, all was good and the christmas lights were still on, its good to be festive!

2010 has been a bit chilly so far, but I don’t even mind this freezing-ass 50 degree weather. I can wear scarves, pants, use multiple blankets and comforters to sleep with and all kinds of other island oddities! Life is good.

Ride on 2010!
