Once a blogger…

Fixed the link: I had the wrong link and now I don’t. Thanks to Steph Barnard for kindly DMing me with [...]

Community essentials

January 12th, 2009

Delano needs a grocery store. Last time I checked the fresh vegetable section of Quik Trip was, how shall we say this, nonexistent (and I do pledge alligance to Quik Trip’s general wonderfulness).
In the comments Carl, of Delano Bungalow and other assorted blogs, brings up the big obstacle of profit. It is hard for local [...]

An informed biker is a better biker. And a biker involved in the future plans of the city has fewer bent rims.

Pedaling through John’s mind

October 7th, 2008

First a question: Fixed gears?
Then some thoughts on Elmira Gulch, commuting, beer biking, BFBs and Change he believes in.

What a difference a day makes

October 7th, 2008

If you take a bike ride during a really windy day and blog about it right after you get home, your post may have a title like, Am I Dead Yet? and your dog will probably refuse to go to Wal-Mart no matter how much you plead.
Wait a day and you may have a more [...]

Oh how the mighty have fallen

October 6th, 2008

The Rohirrim used to be know for their horsemanship. Now they ride bikes around Wichita every Friday night. You are invited to join them. Bring your own bike.

have you bought your bike yet?

September 4th, 2008

John B. has more social opportunities for those of you who enjoy a good pedal. One is typical fun, the other is Tolkeinesque fun. Fans will be intrigued, others befuddled.

Bicyclers behaving

August 22nd, 2008

John B. raises the thorny issue of riding bicycles on sidewalks. The ensuing discussion has given Moti Rieber reason to post his thoughts on the discussion. Coppercorn makes an un-blogged cameo appearance.

Fashion statement or sales technique?

August 18th, 2008

Promoting the cycling “conversation” through headgear display.

Braveheart does a wheelie

August 15th, 2008

John B. paints his face and leads his tribesmen into history. He accepts the designation of AWB (academic who bikes) and revels in the assault on history.
He invites others who share his thirst for pedal thrusting freedom to join him in the war cry, err, conversation.
