Well-Worn Jacket
May 12, 2008 · 11:59 AM · permalink
Noticed this Ibex softshell jacket at a cafe in Seattle. With that well-worn patina and mud spray it’s obviously used for more than just looking nice. The owner said he loved it. I’ve got a blue one (on clearance) and it’s perfect for chilly spring days — in a week or so it’ll get too warm for it, but it’s currently my fav. I also took it on my trip to Chicago.
What’s your fav well-worn jacket?
Bird v. Bike
May 12, 2008 · 09:28 AM · permalink
This is the third known instance of a bird flying into a drivetrain. The first was when I saw a crow fly right into a fellow cyclists wheel and out the other side. The crow kept flying. Then one time I rode right over a seagull; don’t think that one made it. Now, this third one happened to another cyclist during a descent down Madrona hill and if you look close at the front derailleur you can see the feathery evidence.

Planet Bike visits Seattle

Bob Downs, president of Planet Bike, was in town a little while ago, and he and his group stopped into the bike shop. One of the things on their mind was an item with which I’ve recently become enamored: generator lights. It seems that Planet Bike will be bringing their expertise with LEDs to the generator light market.
Thanks Mom

This one goes out to all the moms out there with their kids at races, kids on their bikes, riding bikes, giving kids bikes, and just being moms.
When I was young, my mom let me ride my bike all day long, periodically handing me sandwiches, and then riding some more.

The FUTURE! Do we need shades or not?
May 09, 2008 · 12:42 PM · permalink
While I’ve been in the trench warfare of flat tires and greasy chains, I’ve been wondering about the larger picture, keeping a look out for industry, market, and technology trends. I’m not talking about wishful thinking about what I’d like to see happen; I mean, I’d like to wake up to Jessica Alba in a thong cleaning my drivetrain, but that’s not very likely. I’m talking about forecasting what will happen in the next two years.
Green Lane at Greenlake -- SDOT delivers improved facilities
May 09, 2008 · 07:52 AM · permalink
The wheels of progress never stop turning at SDOT, who managed to get some green gravely material down in a couple of locations this week after months of anticipation. We’ve posted about the green lanes before, it’s great to see they’re making their way into the real world. I rode down to take a look this morning, and I can confirm it’s really, really green.
