The next big thing
I just saw a lady riding down the street on a unicycle. I seem to see more and more of these now. Could unicycles be the next big fad? At one point, it was hip to have a fixed gear bicycle as seen by the number of fixies road by bike messengers and kids who…

Rained today
It is beginning to look more and more like fall, with some yellow leaves on the trees outside my office. In addition it rained today, accentuating my need for fenders. After not having ridden hardly at all during the warm, sunny months, I’m starting back into commuting more regularly to work. Similar to how sailing…

Jan Trains for 2006 Tour…
And I thought it was hard for me to get back on the bike this summer… Jan trains for the Tour.

Speed Bumps, Discovery Park, Monday Night Football
A picture of Kei on our Saturday walk to Discovery Park and a Monday Night Football shot of Kei, Kay, Mac, Loren, and Erica (cut off) at the PI. {gallery [SpeedBumps]} The speed bumps below I thought were rather neat. They are wide enough to slow cars, yet don’t obstruct the flow of bicycle traffic.…

Ghost Cycle
http://www.ghostcycle.org/ I saw two of these bikes on my way to work today. Spooky.

Poor Rasmussen
He was in 3rd. 4 bike changes and 2 crashes later, he is in 7th. Did he throw the race on purpose? Or did somebody sabotage his bike? Maybe he just has a fear of being third for 7 years in a row, like Jan. We may never know.

Early Mornin’ Tour
Kei and I have figured out you need to wake up at 5:30 am to get the best tour coverage. No Al FishHead, very little Bobke. Just pure Phil and Paul goodness. I am not alone. The tour will now ruin my nightlife. Oh, wait, what nightlife?

Last night’s tour
I was quite impressed with the performance last night of Michael Rasmussen. Of course, Lance destroyed the field and has proven he isn’t riding this tour just for more Nike endorsements. But after Sunday’s performance by Rasmussen and yesterday, I wonder if Rasmussen will end up in a spot in the podium in Paris.

Floyd Landis
OK. I know what you’re thinking. He left lance during his farewell tour like the drummer of an arena rock band at the height of their career. From Discovery to Phonak, Landis has discouraged many folks I’ve talked to. But he’s got to start at some point building his career. And besides, even though he…
