Ghost Bikes
Posted on 26. Sep, 2009 by admin.
My heart hits the floor every time I see a new ghost bike appear. And it seems to be happening more and more frequently these days. This is something near and dear to my heart, having been through the experience of having a loved one seriously injured in a car-bike collision.
This particular bike is in [...]

I have yet to recover from not recovering any of our files. The only thing I can do is distract myself with other interesting topics. So, to that end I am spending some time trying to figure out what to do with my ‘Engagement Bike’. As the name implies, [...]

Starting Over Again…is bittersweet
Posted on 19. Aug, 2009 by admin.
Well, I have learned that mucking with a database is probably not something I should do lightly. Consequently, I have blown away all of our new and exciting content. I wonder if my friend, Nat, will notice.
In the meantime, I will be trying to recreate some of the content I erased.
