It has not been an especially bad winter in Idaho Falls this year. My thoughts are just elsewhere…. on Summer.
I have bike commuted a few times but the slightest anomaly (e.g. below zero weather, freezing rain, and my general lameness) diverts my attention from hopping on the bike.

I have several things in the works. I have this GREAT idea for a wonderful project that will keep me going for a while. I would write about it but someone is likely to catch on… All I can say is I am scouring ebay looking for parts.
I have been solicited to find the best [...]
Now that the Surly Pugsley is built I am looking for a new bicycle projcet.
I road the pugsley to work today. It was my first commute of 2010. I debated whether I should take the my Kronan City Bike for the commute. I decided on the Pugsley to show it off to my engineer colleagues.

After yesterday’s humiliating experience in wolverine canyon I did a [...]
I had a great idea… so I thought. I headed to Wolverine Canyon to jump on some snowmachine trails from a major trailhead today. I know the canyon. From the parking area you climb 2000 vertical feet over 8 miles and peak at the top of the “W”. It is called the “W” do to [...]
I am sitting here drinking Pernod. Every since reading Foucault’s Pendulum it has been a favorite of mine…. enough.
Todays news…. the Pugsley is alive. I went on the maiden voyage today… more about that later.
Yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and have the local bike shop install some Avid Juicy Seven hydraulic disc brakes [...]
I am lazy.
I spent most of the morning staring at the bike-trainer-torture-contraption in my bedroom hoping the gates of hell would open and swallow it before I decided to get on it today. Sometime around the crack of noon I decided to check the weather. What do you know Southeastern Idaho emerged from deep freeze [...]
enjoy…. or suck my balls!
