We took the dog to the East Bay Bicycle Path today. All five of us went (including the dog). Ice Cream at the Fruity Cow was a highlight of the trip.

How to teach your kid to ride a bicycle
March 24th, 2010 · Comments Off
This is what worked for my son. He was seven when he learned to ride this Spring, which is a little older than most kids, I think. He learned on a kids’ bicycle with 20-inch wheels. Find a sizeable parking lot with a slight slope to it. My son wanted to practice in our driveway, [...]

Son, he rides
March 20th, 2010 · Comments Off
Not only did Son get a new bicycle today, he also learned to ride a two-wheeler for the first time. This was just as the sun was setting, so he didn’t get to ride very long. He still has to work on his stopping, starting, and most of the basics. But he can balance! Untitled [...]

The other day, a representative of the Rails to Trails conservancy contacted me because he was doing an online story about the East Bay Bicycle Path. Well, I thought, I should just write my own post on the subject! For reference, here is my Flickr set of my EBBP photos these views are mostly of [...]

Daughter got a new bicycle, and today (July 4) we took it for a spin on the East Bay Bicycle Path, which is one of those marvelous bits of local infrastructure that people tend to take for granted, but which makes living in this area a little more special. Anyway, I digress. As we were [...]

Portland cyclists

Doing some lighthouse photography in Maine. While driving in South Portland to the Portland Head lighthouse just around 6AM I was amazed to see many bicyclists on and around Cottage St, presumably heading to work at that hour. I should have counted them, there were dozens. Portland also has numerous bike lanes, including a prominent [...]

Bike Commuter Benefit
October 6th, 2008 · Comments Off
I’m not particularly happy that it was crammed into the bailout bill, but I am happy that the Bicycle Commuter Benefits Act was signed into law. The benefit — up to $20 per month — begins with the new year in 2009. Employers may reimburse employees, tax free, for “reasonable” expenses related to their bike [...]

Trip Report: Acadia
October 8th, 2007 · Comments Off
Acadia trip with JB 10/4/07 to 10/8/07 (Columbus Day Weekend) I had suggested this trip to my old friend JB as kind of a reliving of our younger days. We hadn’t travelled together in a few years, and I hadn’t been to Acadia since 2003. A young person I knew spent a weekend in Acadia [...]

I couldn’t have said it better myself: If I told you that I was going to give you a magic device that would save you money, save the planet, and, oh yeah, firm up that flab you have been carrying around with you for the last couple of years, what would you say? http://www.blog.thesietch.org/2007/08/29/how-to-ride-your-bike-to-work/
