What Is/Was Your Favorite Bike?

6dogs | March 13, 2008

What is/was your favorite bike?
Like most bike geeks I have a few bikes. I can’t seem to part ways with them. Even the Kona road frame with the bent top tube. It just sits outside my shop collecting dust, waiting to be turned into wind chimes.
I got to thinking recently, what is my favorite bike? [...]

Lunch Rides
It really warmed up this week. The snow has been taking its sweet time melting though, so we stuck to the road. It was in the 60’s for Friday’s ride, and we even got to wear our shorts and knickers. Friday was my favorite ride of the week. Kristy, Sandie, [...]

Something to Look Forward To

Jeff Moser | February 26, 2008

My son and I were recently having a discussion about how he didn’t like going to school. I told him I didn’t really like going to work either, but that I made it a lot better by giving my self something to look forward to throughout the day. And for me of course, [...]

January Wrap-Up and NEWS

Jeff Moser | February 4, 2008

Back when I made my personal commitment to commute by bike throughout the winter, getting through January was my biggest fear. Early nightfall, wind, snow, ice, below freezing temperatures…January has it all. Looking back though, it wasn’t all that bad! There were a few times when the conditions were miserable, but I [...]

Road Swag

6dogs | February 3, 2008

In the recent issue of VeloNews, columnist Wayne K. Sheldrake writes about the various items ( road swag ) he has found along the highway while out riding his bike.
That got me to thinking of the treasures I’ve found during the many miles I’ve logged on Hwy. 50. One of the best scores was [...]

Lunch Rides
We continue to get a daily dose of snow here in Carson City. Every day it snows, and every day it melts. Just a constant cycle of snow, slush, and ice. I had hopes of road biking through January while the trails are under snow, but unfortunately I’ve gotten very little time in [...]

Commuting Tips

Jeff Moser | January 22, 2008

There’s not much to say about today’s riding other than it was very cold! I didn’t feel like taking any pictures either. So until I have something more exciting to write about, go check out some commuting safety tips I wrote over on Commute by Bike.

Commute Report

Jeff Moser | January 17, 2008

Bicycle commuting has been going really well. In fact, I haven’t even been in a car for about a week now. The last time I went car free this long was probably 1984, back before I had my driver’s license and walked or rode my bike to school.
The roads have dried out, so [...]

Ice Commute

Jeff Moser | January 8, 2008

I’ve always considered January to be Hell Month for cycling. January has the hardest obstacles to overcome, and you have to push yourself to go out into the cold or you won’t ride. It’s too tempting to stay in where it’s warm!
After a weekend of snow storms, the Monday commute was nasty! [...]
