The Fixie Collection - a look back
This was the pix of the Motobecane Fixie. It's not quite so clean now! The changes: added Planet Bike black fenders and the cheesy plastic toe clips with nylon straps, the Avocet saddle cracked and was replaced with a black Brooks Super Flyer (sprung b-17). Come spring I'll pop off the fenders and go for the clean look again. It's such a fun, snappy bike to ride.
Eating My Way Across Florida
An ongoing series of iPhone snapshots of Florida's delights. We rented bikes and will ride to the eateries so to fend off the calories.
The first pic of a Cajun seafood mix is from the Sandbar in Anna Maria. Very mellow Cajun that let the seafood really do its thing. Shrimp, scallops, mussels, oysters and calamari.
The second is the grilled grouper sandwich from the "short pier" in Anna Maria. Pic three is the onion rings on the side. The grouper came with fries or cole slaw and I couldn't pass up the slaw. That opened up the perfect opportunity for the onion rings.
My bike that is too long was featured...
...on the Xtracycle Gallery Blog. http://www.xtracyclegallery.com/2009/12/462-johns-xtracycle.html There are some great bikes there and I'm glad to join the ranks.Xtracycle
It's a weird bike. As my boy puts it, "are we going to ride the bike that's too long?"
This is a just a link to Flickr site with a gallery of Xtracycle pix for those that are inclined.
Wheel of the future?
This is one the greatest ideas I've seen in awhile. The video tellsthe whole story.
I'll be watching this.
About Me
John TubbsI'm an older than I should be education media producer at a major university.
I ride bike a lot with out spandex to get things accomplished, not clog up traffic.
I used to play in bands. I'm sort of tired of that right now. We'll see if the magic returns.
