“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.

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 [...]
Obama ride

It’s reported all over but the best first-hand account I’ve seen is here at Checksum Arcanius.

Road rager wants to know: You mean I have to stay in jail for a whole week?
Cyclist on car hood
The whole of bike-blog internetdom is awash in this story about a road raging motorist who first attacked a cyclist (after the cyclist told him to slow down) and then, when the cyclist stood in front of his car to get the plate, drove into him and thence down the road with [...]

Here are two pictures my friend Sarah H. from BICAS sent me of Varo on his tall bike last night. As you might imagine, he’s always a big hit with the spectators.
Varo has lots of cool bikes that he makes himself, including a side-by-side two-seater. I’ll try to get a picture of that [...]
