Just a quick monthly guilt-trip for myself: Thanks to a week of travel and a bout of sickness, I only covered 185.59 miles in April and my weight hovered around the same as last month. On the positive side, I did just break 800 miles for the year (normally a year-long amount of riding) and […]
Here in Portland, Maine there are plenty of people still using derailleurs, but very few people wear helmets. The only consistently helmeted group are the road bikers/spandex pod people; when a man wearing skintight pants is behaving more sensibly than you perhaps it’s time for some self-reflection.

A short update to last month’s post: I barely squeaked into first place in the monthly cycling challenge with just 266 miles ridden, and I’ve lost another three pounds. Not too bad for taking a week off being sick and having some pretty horrible weather.
I did end up buying a new bike and I’m […]
I’ve spent the last four years riding a handful of different bikes a few thousand miles total and in that time I’ve learned a lot about how my body works, what kind of bike feels most comfortable, and areas where comfort can be improved.
It took quite a bit of trial and error to find […]
If you’ve ever spent much time around cyclists, you’ve certainly noticed they love to talk gear and if you’ve ever picked up a bike magazine, you’ve been inundated with ads extolling the virtues of bike performance. It’s nearly impossible to separate the marketing fluff from facts whenever doing research on a new bike purchase, […]
As a bit of public shaming, I’m going to do a monthly update on my progress of riding my bikes more and losing some weight. February is all good news because I’ve put in a lot of miles and I’ve lost 5 pounds.
I rode about 280 miles in just under 20 hours of riding […]
In my post about bike riding, I mentioned that this was the first winter I was spending on my bike. For the past few winters, I’ve hung up my road bike every October and left it untouched until March or April when things warmed up again. I also gained about 10lbs each winter from months […]
For the past few years I’ve been getting back into cycling in a big way. Though I’ve spent all my life riding bikes, after college I rarely had time or a place to ride. Now that’s all changed as I live in a relatively flat small town with plenty of roads and a healthy […]
Remember this? Now is your chance to own a piece of history (sold!). I’m cleaning my garage out and getting rid of a few bikes (my cruiser, my old mt. bike) at rock-bottom prices. If you’re in the Portland area, drop me an email, stop on by and give them a ride.
