Riding Recap
Global warming means a busy winter riding season.
Biking for FUN.
Who knew that riding bikes could be fun?! Just kidding, it’s ALWAYS fun.
718 Cyclery Micro-tour #5
I survived my first micro-tour - a 44-mile self-supported bike camping trip from NYC to Croton Point Park, NY.
The Test Ride
And a few other things.
Am I a bike commuter now?!
Spoiler Alert: I’m not.
Miscellaneous things accomplished by bike.
WFH, errands, and you know it… THE PROSPECT PARK DOG BEACH
Commuting by Bike and Prospect Park Laps
My first ever commute by bike and some laps in Prospect Park with my B SIG buddies!
I'm still alive, in case you were worried.
I swear that I’ve been doing things these last few weeks!
First outing with a pannier!
Now I ESPECIALLY hate climbing.
Friday Night with a Hacksaw
The wildest Friday night anyone could have.
I'm on a roll (of sorts).
I registered for my first micro-tour last week. This week, I installed my rear rack and panniers, AND registered for NYCC’s B SIG training program. I can’t be stopped!
It's official.
I signed up for my FIRST self-supported micro-tour!
Blizzard Prep
All I bought was beer.
COVID and the End of 2021
I now only go for bike rides on major US holidays.
Intro to Mountain Biking with REI
Sorry, JJ, for yelling at you that I have no more gas to give as I pedaled my way up an advanced, technical trail that we were not supposed to be on in the first place! I didn’t exactly make it over the rock feature at the top of this climb.
Red Hook and my new Swift Industries bag
Notice anything different?
Labor Day Weekend 2021: Prospect Park, a donut ride and unsolicited advice from a man.
I keep having this strange, inexplicable allergic reaction around my eyes/face (I swell up and look like a different person - should perhaps start taking advantage of this) but I didn’t let that stop me from riding my bike Saturday, Sunday AND Monday of this long, holiday weekend.
