Brompton Fun
6:02pm - Feb 19, 2012
Not going to break any speed records on the Brompton. But the Brompton getting on the bike at the spur of the moment and enjoying the sights. It is so nice to have it in the car and ready to go at anytime.
I guess I attract the smart asses. A guy on his road bike built for speed told me to get rid of the clownut bike and get a real bike. I was able to yell back that, "I have a real bike." But the three bicyclist made my day when they told me nice bik
Brompton has Arrived.
8:25pm - Feb 14, 2012
The Brompton has arrived. I was informed that I should give it a name. Never been one for naming bicycles. Since it is apple green I will call it Apple Jack.

Tune Up
8:57pm - Feb 8, 2012
Took my bike to the Pedaler for a tune up. I get the tune up for free and is the last one for my one year. Buy a bike at the Pedaler and get one year free tune ups and adjustments. A great local bike shop in El Sobrante California. If you live close pay them a visit.
So vacation bids at work is going on. Being single and having no kids means I don't need to bid for anything. I'm comfortable when I want to do something
Pig Farm Hill
4:45pm - Feb 1, 2012
Rode into Martinez today. Pig Farm Hill kills me. What a painful climb. But the coast down into Martinez is the best. Almost makes up for the climb up. Next time I go into Martinez I will take the same route.
I tried taking Cummings Skyway to Martinez but the climb is longer and just as painful. Rather do Pig Farm Hill because it is a shorter climb. My best day I will make it without stopping. My worst day there is a rest half way up.
I can't
Bike Programs on the Brink
8:21pm - Jan 31, 2012
So U.S. House of Representatives is going to gut biking and walking programs. In the U.S. obesity rates keep going up, cars are getting expensive to buy and to maintain while wages drop. So I guess we are being told that a bike is not a transportation alternative and going to make it as inconvenient as possible. What message is being sent.
