My Curb Jumper

I am enjoying the helloutta my 2002 Marin.  Although I need a larger bike this shorty has been performing! We cross the Roebling Suspension Bridge everyday dodging Downtown Cincinnati Traffic-Lights, jump anything that gets in the way, and at 8 years old her gears still shift seamlessly.

The Coolest Bike Video Ever Made

I found this cool bike video on Boing Boing. Boing Boing is cool but be careful, its you precious time! Check this out; the coolest bike video ever made!

Vintage Schwinn Stationary Bike

Stationary bikes are the antithesis of cool; you are stationary, inside (in front of a TV), and usually your "bike" looks like a medical bed. But the vintage Schwinn stationary bike is a stationary bike with a retro cool style that fits easily into any bike riding hipster's home. With the ability to quickly adjust the seat and handle bars, the original "easy off", as well as having a wide varying level of resistance this stationary bike is effective as a stationary exercise provider and is suitable for those under 40. The classic factory metallic gold and white lettering has a "Grandma's Kitchen" appeal, not the smoking Grandma but the one that loved you and made you apple pie. The dial for increasing the resistance is very effective yet simple and futuristic looking. The mod 50's timer on the speed panel gives this classic stationary bike all the amenities you really need. But, like most stationary bikes, this bike is heavy.



My father bought this factory metallic gold Schwinn stationary bike and instantly gained street cred in the hood.

Where Are You Go. A Doc. about biking from Cairo to Capetown

I am not excactly sure if this video was made by the folks hosting the blog where I found it; here is the link to the cool bike blog where I found this video. Here is a link to the Bike Africa Website.

Bike Polo and the end to my 73? Charger

Sadly, my bike riding friends, sadly I have to report that the pretty blue BF GoodWrench Crusader is no longer with us. She hit the fence wall of the bike polo court a split second before my head did. Thank gowd I had a helmet or I would have chain link fence lines in my nog!

Vintage 70's bike I bought in Price Hill Cincinnati Ohio

Her vintage years were exposed on the bike polo court when her forks cracked off of the neck leaving the front white walls dangling by the pretty chrome basket over the front wheel aluminum chrome tire cover. Dangling chrome. I was left with two robotic looking tubes, the forks that came off the tire bolts as they were no longer connected to the bike at the neck.

I want to acknowledge here on my rad bike blog that I took that trusted ol' mare, the one speed "Crusader", up all the hills out of downtown Cincinnati including Sycamore, Vine, Reading, Clifton, and McMicken. I loved that bike; she'll be sorely missed.

Up-ended.

Bike Polo (hardcourt)

I am in love with bike polo; bike polo is something that you must try and you will probably, if you are anything like me (a green 317 pound giant brain) love it!
