she's got the skills

pedaling

the pedaling and steering are mastered
cruising along all on her own
a little help for going up the hills
and a controling hand for going down
she likes the bike

halfway thru the year

with june finishing up, here's the current commuting stats.
bike to work : 105 days, roughly 2,900 miles
drive to work : 19 days, roughly 500 miles
my favored mode of transportation is pretty apparent

the mornings have been quite nice

another sunrise

the reward for leaving the house
while it's still dark outside
i never tire of these views

the nice weather brings out the assholes

i narrowly avoided a head-on collision with another cyclist this morning. but that’s only after he narrowly avoided getting hit while crossing two lanes of traffic to meet me. car horns were blaring as we passed within a foot of each other on the shoulder of the road with my right elbow uncomfortably close to parked cars and his just as close to traffic. all this unfolded in the span of five seconds or so and only reminds me how quickly your course in life can change. i can only hope he heard my condescending remarks regarding his intelligence.

i like bikes but i sure do despise most others who ride them.

heading west

heading west

climbing out of the valley
the sun at my back
burning off the morning fog
a good way to start the week
