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 [...]

What you can stuff into a Seat Pouch (Nigel Smythe)
Posted on 02. Mar, 2010 by Jennifer.
A couple of years ago, my hubby bought me a Seat Pouch (Nigel Smythe) from Rivendell.I have to admit to a bit of an obsession with Rivendell, I love their bikes, bags, racks – just their way of working and talking about bikes. I had gotten a bit tired of pulling on spandex and riding [...]

Reclaiming our streets…in NYC
Posted on 25. Feb, 2010 by Jennifer.
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 [...]

Ignite Boulder 8
Posted on 10. Feb, 2010 by Jennifer.
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 [...]

We’ve been gone for awhile
Posted on 21. Jan, 2010 by Jennifer.
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 [...]

Bike Superhighways in Colorado
Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by Jennifer.
I was reading this great article on treehugger.com – They Are Building Bicycle Superhighways in Copenhagen about Copenhagen’s bicycle motorway. Their idea is to start linking the surrounding areas via a bike highway to make it easier for people to cycle into town from what looks like ‘bedroom communities’.
There is more extensive information on the [...]

Cycling in the snow
Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by Jennifer.
I just don’t know about cycling in the snow. I know a number of people who live for riding in this weather; well, I don’t know them personally but I have heard of that type of thing. I have a couple of thoughts that dominate my thinking when I contemplate riding up to the grocery [...]

I have been reading a number of blogs and tweets (?) recently about people doing business by bike and I know I am probably romanticizing it but it sounds like such great fun. Delivering pastries, soups and coffee by bike….creating a business vibe or culture, where the biking element is a central [...]

Post-Interbike Thoughts Part 1
Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by Jennifer.
I know I should have probably written down some thoughts about Interbike sooner but I was a little overwhelmed and it has taken me some time to sort through all my ideas.
About Las Vegas – well that place is an equal-opportunity descent into hell. The number of people, the amount of cigarette smoke, the overwhelming [...]
