1. Listen to KFMG 99.1 FM this Sunday afternoon between 2 – 4 pm to catch an acoustic set by $trick9 & The Truth. Our pal Jeff (from the Baberhood) hosts. It’ll be killer. Big Joe McGuire will be pounding a mean conga. Botics on beats and strings. Duke on acoustic bass. Matty J on melodies. $trick9 sticks to words spoken quickly and rhythmically.
2. Spring Dandy is Sunday, May 3, 2009. It’s a ride from Union Park up to Cottonwood and back. Then, we will grill something tasty. Ride leaves Union Park around 10:30 am. Bicycles are strongly encouraged. I will most likely not reply to anyone who asks if they can roller skate it. Its free. All you have to do is bring a smile.

A few days ago, I was asked, “What else do you do on your bike besides commute to work and run errands, etc?” Continue reading ‘Bike Camping’
Many times, when I bring up the topic of bicycling, the first question I’m asked is, “Why in god’s name would I ride a bicycle?” Continue reading ‘Bike Your Ride’
Now that the weather’s warming up I’ve got new tires on my bike and I’ve been riding to work. For the most part the automobile drivers I share the road with are respectful and cautious. But last night my husband Brandon was harassed by a pair of rednecks in a pickup truck. They first drove up alongside him and tried to startle him in to crashing. When that didn’t work, they followed him, getting menacingly close, shouting epithets. When Brandon turned a corner and disappeared behind a big tree, the guys got out of their truck to look for him.
I suspect these are the same douchebags that pulled the same crap with me late last summer.
Does anybody out there have any advice for dealing with vehicular bullies? I’m seriously considering going Q on my bike and adding some James Bond style sideways rocket launchers and exploding thumb-tack bombs to my bike.
