When last I wrote, The Mitchell family was completely devoid of bicycles because my the theft of my dear Bianchi Avenue cyclocross bike, and my son’s Ross DiamondCruiser city bike was out of comission (in the shop awaiting a new crank after I snapped the left pedal off at the crank-arm housing for the 2nd …

Warm Weather Equals More Bikes

I saw a nice site in front of the building where I work, bikes. And not just one or two for the people who ride all year. Here is a batch leaning against the front wall, protected under an overhang. But why weren’t they in the bike rack? Besides being out in the weather, the …

Ride Report- 2/27/11

No mention of work today.   I got out and finally got in a decent road ride for the first time in a while.  The day warmed up to 77° with nary a cloud in the sky.  The old Cannondale I ride sat with a flat front, but instead of changing the tube I swapped …

Ciclovia in Sacramento, CA perhaps?

Two Sacramento City Council members – Steve Cohn and Jay Schenirer – are working with local SABA members to look into closing streets select streets to motor vehicle traffic in May, according to a Sacramento Bee report.  The idea is called a Ciclovia, and most definitely is not new.  The idea is to create a …

Cycling through Netflix

We all need a little down time every now and then.  From the die hard uber-trainer, to the guerrilla urban assault advocate and commuter, to the be seen classic cycle fashinista.  All of us will find our collective bums on a sofa instead of a saddle from time to time. So the question is – …

Al’s Insanity, Days 3-5

So day three of this little experiment rolled around on Wednesday and was rather understated. Rather than coming in all “Braaahhh!!! Hill Repeats today! CLIMBING, BABY! CLIMBING!!!” it was much more of a, “Oh yes my good man, it is day three, isn’t it. Yes, yes, we’ll be rolling on the floor for a while, …

No Matter How Far You Ride

For me last year’s cycling calendar involved a good number of centuries and various other charity rides. This year I am still doing some charity rides and centuries, but I have been adding the longer randonuerring brevets. But one thing I have discovered is that no matter how much you ride, there are always people …

Al’s insanity, Days 1-2

So you may have heard that I signed myself up to be a guinea pig for our own Master of Pain, Al Painter. And unlike those times I signed up for experiments in college, I don’t get any cash or even cookies for this experience; what the hell was I thinking.   Now, I got …

Walking and Biking

You often find biking and walking advocacy tied together. One important reason for this seems to be the way government funds are allocated lumps these together. And while biking and walking don’t have exactly the same issues they are related. For example using a bicycle for errands is definitely facilitated by having your stops closer …

Savage Sprints continue in Sac tonight

Sacramento’s Hot Italian is hosting the fourth installment of the Savage Sprints series.  As before, the event it intended not only to be a hell of a good time, but to also raise funds and awareness to the Sacramento Velodrome Association.  Over 40 racers are registered for the 4pm start time – including yours truly.  …

I want my sport back

I fell in love with cycling watching folks play mental and physical games with each other to be the first to cross lines in the road.  While not particularly fond of “drama” I got some small enjoyment from the human stories behind the riders too.  I’ve taken doping allegations, personality conflicts and shifting alliances in …

My Bike Is Gone (Pt. II)

So I wrote and posted a blog post about my Bianchi disappearing into the shadow world of stolen Oakland bikes.  There were a couple items I left out of the post for narrative reasons. And I wanted to post a couple thanks, so “Part II”.   The morning I was on my fateful busride, I was thinking to myself about writing …

Be vewy vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbits

While I harbor no illusions that spring has arrived early, but I have been seeing signs of it. This week has featured mild temperatures and I have seen an increase in wild life on my commute. My favorite animal to spot is a rabbit. No, I don’t hunt Bugs Bunny like Elmer Fudd, but I …

Local Bike Maps

One thing I have found to be quite valuable for route planning is a local bike map. Sure the Google Bike Maps announced about a year ago are handy. And there are various web sites to help plan routes: Map My Ride Bikely Gmap pedometer Veloroutes Routeslips Trimble Outdoors Really there are too many to list. If …
