Inspired by the awesome videos I see all the time at Amsterdamize and Copenhagenize, I’m starting a Slow Bike Miami Bicycle TV feature. It won’t be a super regular thing, but once in a while I’ll try to put up some videos shot from the bike or about us riding, just for the fun of [...]
My First Flat Tire

I rode out this morning to prayers as I always do; went up the bridge, down the bridge, rode on the street for a bit, took the sidewalk for another part, took the left turning lane and crossed the incoming lanes into a parking lot through which I shortcut into my synagogue’s parking lot. As [...]
Biking to Synagogue: Shabbat Edition

No Comments
Though I ride during the week every morning to synagogue, I had never done it to go there for Shabbat. This past Friday all was ready at the house with some time to spare (!) so I decided to do it, ride the bike to shul for Shabbat; I’d ride there, leave the bike, leave [...]

Biking & Voting

It’s been a looong time since I last rode my bike, mostly due to the High Holy Days throughout the month of October. Last week I rode my bike to synagogue once, but this week I decided I was getting back to the routine of using it every day, and so far so good.
This morning [...]
High Tide
September 24th, 2008

I’ve been noticing that the high tide has been a bit higher than usual for the past couple of weeks, figuring it has something to do with the various storms that have been around these parts lately. This afternoon I had to go out for a moment to the next island over (ah, the wonders [...]
