This is a shameless attempt to save the the most advanced civilization in
history from imminent self destruction by eliminating carbon emission,
dependence on foreign sources of fuel,obesity, hypertension and diabetes.
Cycling accomplishes all those things at once and helps us develop a better
understanding of ourselves, each other and our relationship to the cosmos.

Oh, horse puckey!
I like to ride bikes, have been doing it all my life.
The rest of that crap is just a fringe benefit,
and the blogosphere gives me a chance to share my interior
monologue with virtual rather than imaginary friends.

Faux spring again

Groundhog day has come and gone. Punxsutawney Phil did whatever and we laughed and said "Who cares? We live in Michigan,  we have six weeks more winter."   We plugged along smugly feeling the freedom of our studded tires safely leading us though the icy streets and trails. 

Six weeks have come and gone the snow stopped,temps warmed. After trudging through snow on the abominable snow tires for months.

the streets let us back on the regular treads. But not only that, I put new shoes on Yves Gomez.  After the winter, 38mm Rsne Herse tires feel like floating on soap bubbles, quickly!  You can run out of superlatives talking about these tires, they are just the best,  unless you buy the extra light casing, then they are bester
Then, of course, there is this.  I did say it's Michigan
Winter takes a scornful glance over its shoulder on its way out the door.
