I visited the Bike Habitat on Saturday to check out a new offering from Giant Bicycles, the Twist Freedom Electric Hybrid. I’ve always been a bit skeptical of power assisted bicycles, since it goes against my ideas that the bicycle should be pure and simple. Dennis told me to take it for a spin [...]

It’s almost completely dark shortly after 5:00 PM these days, and the temperatures are pretty mild for this time of year. These conditions made Thursday’s after work night ride just about perfect. I had hoped to do more night riding in the summer, but by the time it got dark, I was ready [...]

The night ride was a blast, and was mostly successful. We still need to find out what happened to Roger, and we’re currently corroborating our story about a little “accident” we had at the end of the ride. Stay tuned for the full report…
Until then, let’s see what happens when you mix Bikes [...]

If you’re not able to make the night ride tonight, but are still looking for something to do, go check out Rick Gunn at the Brewery Arts Center. The Nevada Appeal has all the details HERE.
After spending nearly three years bicycling around the world, Rick Gunn said people often ask him how he can [...]

Jesse recently bent his rear axle, so while his bike was down, I seized the opportunity to push single speeding on him. I lent him my On One Inbred, a rigid (no suspension) steel framed single speed with 32×16 gearing.
Until someone has given single speed mountain biking a shot, you may get comments from them [...]

On Saturday, Charlie and I decided to go have a look at the Linear Park Trail. Earlier in the week, the Nevada Appeal was working on a story about this trail for Saturday’s paper, and asked me for my thoughts on the recent trail construction near the 5th Street Round-a-bout. I don’t usually [...]

Most of the time, Halloween is the turning point for the nice weather, but we’re in the middle of a warm streak with temperatures in the 60’s every day at ride time. It’s just about perfect in shorts and a short sleeve jersey!
