I’ve already mentioned that one of my favorite bicycling blogs is Copenhagenize.com by Mikael Colville-Andersen. Do a Google search for “bicycle blog” and you’ll see it right on the first page, which is how my wife and I found it when we first started getting into bikes. Not only has it spawned a spin-off, Copenhagen [...]

On Saturday, November 7, Miami Beach hosted a 13-hour long, cultural extravaganza called Sleepless Night which featured over 100 different events in stages scattered all around the city.

Since my post last week on Critical Mass, I’ve spent all my time addressing comments and none writing new posts. It’s been great, because I believe we’ve had a good and civil conversation, something that definitely needs to happen often, but it’s also been very draining at times. Couple that with a move to a [...]

The news that a cold front was coming into Miami spread like wildfire all throughout Saturday. Indeed, once it rained in the afternoon, everyone readied their sweaters and jackets, waiting for the tiniest bit of semi-cold air to hit.

There are a lot of cycling magazines on newsstands–Bicycling, Velo News, Mountain Bike, Road Bike, Cycle Sport, Cyclocross, BMX Sport, etc–covering pretty much every single angle of bicycling possible, as long as it treats the bike as a sports/specialty machine. In the last issue of Bicycling Magazine there was only one article geared towards commuter [...]
