I'm just glad that I don't live on the river and that I live on a large hill. One of the local news stations interviewed a riverfront home owner who said that being on the river was worth putting up...

I spent some time on the road bike yesterday afternoon (26 miles) and then went out for a 14 mile ride with my wife on my hybrid after we made dinner; it was an excellent start to bike month! Save...

Despite having a mild cold right now, I decided to go out for a ride and get some pictures of all of the flooding. Between being sick and all of the rain we have been getting, this was my first ride...

Thank you. It's a 2011 Rapid 3. So far, it has been a great bike. It's not quite as fast as my road bike, but the 28c tires fare a bit better on the unpaved trails that I ride on regularly.

Don't! I'd rather ride in 30 degree weather than weather in the 50s-60s. I do prefer warmer weather riding (70s are preferable), but it's still a lot of fun to get out this time of year and ride! I...

You need to stick a fan in front of you when you ride, assuming that you aren't already--it makes a huge difference!

Another thing I recently started doing is riding to cycling workout videos that...

Got out for an 18 mile ride today. Temps were in the low to mid 30s with winds in the low teens. Even though the route I took today had relatively clear roads/bike lanes, I'm glad I put my fenders on...

It's hard to believe that we had temps in the mid 70s just one week ago! At any rate, I made sure to get in one last good ride last week (30 miles). As this past week has gone by (and the temps have...
