After a long and frantic day at the office, like today was, there are some tough choices to make when one gets home.

We are doing a lot of fall cleaning around the house and I have discovered that I have amassed enough tools and bike parts to make a modest home bike shop. Plus I have two project bikes, a classic Schwinn that needs some basic tuning and my old Cannondale which needs a frame up rebuild. Both perfect winter projects. Now I just need to get the underutilized garage whipped into shape. [Read More]

I haven’t had dim sum in a long time so it was a wonderful way to kick off a productive Sunday.

KFOR is reporting that three bicycles were stolen last Friday (09/23) from local cyclist, Craig Staley. Below is description of the three missing bicycles: 2010 Specialized Tarmac (Left rear seat is scuffed and the 130 mm stem has GATA written in silver on top. 2010 Specialized Stumpjumper Carbon 29er (Right seat stay cracked and repaired and one spindle is broken on the right pedal) 2010 Specialized Crux (Cyclocross bike, Red and black) Additionally, wheels, racing shoes and thousands of dollars worth of tools were taken.

[flickr id=“2217962902” thumbnail=“medium” overlay=“true” size=“medium” group="" align=“center”] I found this interesting article on The Atlantic about the areas of growth in bicycle commuting. While we’ve all seen the large number of articles regarding the growth of cycling commuting, it is interesting to see the geographic concentrations of this growth. Unfortunately, Oklahoma City shows no growth (we sit at a 0.1% so not any room to drop either). However, Tulsa shows 200% growth, though that only represents an increase from 0. [Read More]

The Oklahoman has a nice story about last weekend’s MS 150: In April, walking across a room was challenging for Robin Tilly, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2009. During the weekend, Tilly, 54, joined 567 cyclists in the 26th annual Bike MS: The Mother Road Ride — a trip along Route 66 from Tulsa to Oklahoma City to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Oklahoma. “It was wonderful this year,” she said.

After a long day of vet visits and litter box installations, the only thing left to do is to party . . .

Several weeks ago my bicycle, Ms. Blu-Haul was vandalized by some creep while locked up outside my office. Thankfully, she now gets to spend the work day in a nice and cozy spot in the file room.

As a small aside, I will try to post my photo on the same day, but sometimes it just won’t be possible . . .

On a cold wet morning, especially after a bicycle ride, there is almost nothing better than a nice hot cup of coffee . . .

So, it isn’t another lake picture, but it is another zeppelin picture. But how often do you get to see a zeppelin anyway? I caught this shot as I came around Wiley Post airport on my ride into work. It is quite a spectacle though I didn’t get any pictures about which I was particularly pleased.
