Tuesday Night Bike Ride, tomorrow at 8 PM sharp! With Special Guest Star Lauren!
My friend J has been on a campaign to whip the TNBR back into its advertised 8 PM start time, so sometimes we leave right at 8 PM. Most people, of course, haven’t even arrived yet thanks to the fact the ride doesn’t usually leave for another 30 minutes or more.
So consider this advance [...]
Tuesday night EIGHT PM bike ride!
Remember the olden days when the Tuesday Night Bike Ride used to leave at 8 PM and meander through residential neighborhoods, avoid larger streets entirely, and follow a considerably different route every week?
If you miss that, try getting there by eight tomorrow. Some of us have resurrected the ride as it used [...]
Tuesday Night Bike Ride tonight!
Just a reminder. Bring your coolest bike, a good attitude, and enjoy the coolest ride in the coolest weather we’ve had in awhile. There were 250 riders last week including the two pictured above!
The ride meets at the flagpole at Old Main: go to Park and University and go one block east into [...]
20,000 people attend Budapest Critical Mass “Fashion ride”
So says Copenhagen Cycle Chic.
This Critical Mass had a less agro attitude than ours tend to — they stopped at lights, for example. I can hardly imagine what 20,000 riders must look like, but I’d sure like to see it some day.
Our own Tuesday Night Bike Ride had 215 riders this week, or about [...]
Tuesday Night Bike Ride ride report
I wanted to tell all you naysayers from the comments section yesterday that I was right. There were 190 riders last night and we stopped at the lights, dutifully walked our bikes en masse across the crosswalk on Campbell Ave., and were generally well-behaved. I’d say we got a B, maybe even a [...]
Read More..>>Tuesday Night Bike Ride, two years later
I was snooping around in my old posts and discovered it was just over two years ago that I first started riding in and posting about the Tuesday Night Bike Ride. (Actually my friend Elizabeth made the first post about it on this blog.)
We were so excited back then to see 100 cyclists show [...]
“Founders Ride” this Tuesday Night!
Tucson bike lawyer, regrettably, is in Colorado and won’t make the Tuesday Night Bike Ride this week, but you should. The Tuesday Night Community Bike Ride is still going strong after two years and this week many of the founders of the ride will be there to celebrate. I think they are even [...]

I am so envious! My friend (and former legal secretary) Lauren stopped by yesterday to show off her new La Suprema longtail and it is just absolutely gorgeous. We rode the Tuesday Night Community Bike Ride together and this morning she and Jarod took off heading east, to Nova Scotia via Florida. [...]

Here is a picture of Gaby, my Mexico City guide, on the ice bike. I had to change my departure time to 10 PM, but the bike was finished and I got it on the bus . . . thanks to lots of further help from Gaby! I never could have accomplished [...]

I’m here at my office preparing for trial tomorrow (injured bicyclist fighting with Farmer’s Insurance) and the Tuesday Night Bike Ride just rode past my office.
I stood outside and waved when I heard them all outside and one person somewhat angrily told me to get a bike. Perhaps he recognized me and [...]
