How to Bike In a Skirt – Reno Bikes
https://jobikes.wordpress.com/2016/06/10/how-to-bike-in-a-skirt
How to Bike In a Skirt. June 10, 2016. Here’s one way to do it. Could be a bit much for a Reno summer, though. A lot of people (and clothing manufacturers) make a pretty big deal about riding in a skirt. How can it be done? Won’t yards of lace get tangled in the spokes? Won’t our dignity be impeached? Lucky for you, readers, I have put together an exclusive Reno Bikes two-step guide to riding a bike in a skirt:. Step 1: Put on a skirt. Step 2: Ride a bike to your destination. June 10, 2016 at 8:34 pm.

On Bike Lanes: We Can Do Better – Reno Bikes
https://jobikes.wordpress.com/2016/07/27/on-bike-lanes-we-can-do-better
On Bike Lanes: We Can Do Better. July 27, 2016. Yesterday I was biking back to work after lunch (in this unbearable, gates-of-hell, filthy heat) and came across this on the south side of California Avenue in front of Old World Coffee:. Apologies for the quality and angle of these photos – for reasons that I hope are apparent, I didn’t want to stand in the middle of the bike lane (or car lane) to take them. What we see on the surface is two cars parked far enough (two feet? It was completely unnecessary.

August 2016 – Reno Bikes
https://jobikes.wordpress.com/2016/08
100 Miles of Pizza. August 15, 2016. I got a new bike. A couple weeks ago (this one is named Steve, or Steven when he’s in trouble), and since I will never turn down an opportunity to track things longhand, I started logging every mile I rode on the little beast into a Google Sheet. Last Friday, exactly two weeks after his first ride, Steve passed his very first 100 mile mark. This handy (and completely unverified) calculator. Google how many calories are in a slice of pizza. Also from that Google result...

Case Study: My Dad’s Commute – Reno Bikes
https://jobikes.wordpress.com/2016/11/29/case-study-my-dads-commute
Case Study: My Dad’s Commute. November 29, 2016. I’m fascinated by the transportation choices people make. Why do some people accept expensive, time-consuming, annoying car commutes while others make the leap to biking, walking or taking public transit? Note: If you’re a former car commuter who made the switch to biking, or if you’re considering trying biking, or if you just want to talk about what a pain it is to cross 6th Street, I’d love to hear about it! Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek, Calif. My dad,...

Five Takeaways from the ReImagine Reno Focus Group – Reno Bikes
https://jobikes.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/five-takeaways-from-the-reimagine-reno-focus-group
Five Takeaways from the ReImagine Reno Focus Group. April 28, 2016. April 28, 2016. From the cover of the ReImagine Reno Draft Guiding Principles and Goals [PDF]. A bike:kayak:car ratio of 3:2:1 seems about right to me. I participated in the ReImagine Reno focus group at City Hall on Tuesday night. The format was decent, snacks were provided, and I think we got some good work done. Rather than marching through a recap, I thought I’d share a few things I took away from the session:. The reason we spent a ...

Oh, the Places We’ve Been! – Reno Bikes
https://jobikes.wordpress.com/2016/08/01/oh-the-places-weve-been
Oh, the Places We’ve Been! August 1, 2016. Last week I bought myself a brand new bicycle. It came about fairly quickly – I was frustrated with my old bike (a dark green Windsor Tourist affectionately named Mike the Bike), I saw a good review of a decent workhorse bike in. The San Francisco Years. I first rode Mike to work on December 1, 2011. I couldn’t come to a complete stop, I went downhill slower than I went uphill (due to terror), I couldn’t take either hand off the bars (sorry, signaling! Mike, Bur...
