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 […]

When I began full time bicycle commuting last November, I just used my old backpacks that I’ve had around for years. They worked for a time, but I quickly realized their limitations. They had limited cargo capacity, and were awkward to ride with when fully loaded, as the weight was stacked perpendicular to […]

After falling in love with a pair of On One Mary Bars that I put on my commuter, I went looking for another set to try on my single speed. Since nobody in Carson or Reno had Mary’s, I started searching the internet for alternatives.

Nobody from the gang was available to ride at lunch today, so I became unmotivated and stayed in my cube. I would forgo the pleasantries of two-wheeled recreation, and work on my status report instead. Later in the day, however, I got an instant message from Kristy saying she wanted to ride. […]

I’ve been riding through the winter for several seasons now, and each year I learn something new or acquire a new piece of gear that makes being out in the elements more enjoyable. In my experience, the hardest part to keep comfortable have been my hands and feet.
I used some old ski gloves last […]

I didn’t think my Mary Bars could get much cooler, but then I stuck a bell on them! I was visiting Dennis at the Bike Habitat when I came across just the bell I have been looking for. This bell is “The Original Incredibell” from the Mirrycle Corporation. It’s hard to get […]
