It’s been a busy summer and I have been cycling quite a bit but I’ve also been traveling. I’ve gone to cycling-mecca Portland and the new hipster scene San Antonio (read: San Antonio’s Single Speed Scene), which I can’t quite believe. Having growing up there I know what a huge cultural shift this is for [...]

Cyclist versus cars? How about reporter versus master bike plan?
Posted on 11. May, 2010 by Jennifer.
In what appears to be a never-ending narrative about cars and bikes, CNN had this article
Drivers, bicyclists clash on road sharing
and I thought is there really anything more to be said about or examples provided of cyclists and drivers not getting on. There are examples of bad behavior on both sides and I can’t [...]

You’ll have to read the book to find out more about their ideas around carbon taxes, renewables, etc. For [...]

I just returned from a great trip to NYC, where I spent some time with my brothers and an enormous amount of time walking all over the city. Boarding the plane back to Boulder I realized I was physically shattered. I had walked at least 6 miles a day, taken the subway a couple of [...]

I’m attending Ignite Boulder 8 — http://igniteboulder8.eventbrite.com/. I was going to ride up to the Boulder Theater but after having to have hubby pick me up last night because of the ice, I’m calling a wimp flag. Doors open at 6pm but speakers don’t start until 7. Looks like a good list: Speaker’s Order. I [...]

I’m not sure what happened but when the snow fell, we fell silent. I wouldn’t call us fair-weathered riders but as actions speak louder than words, what can I say. It was staggeringly cold here in Boulder, Colorado for what has seemed like months. And not just another I’ll wear another layer and be fine [...]
