Jon - Globe Experience: Post Cocktail Dinner
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010/01/asdfghjklerrtyyuuiiiiioooooooooopp12223.html
Sunday, January 10, 2010. One of the perks of biking after a few rounds of cocktails is having to ride past the food carts. On the way home. Sure crab cakes with a chipoltle lemon aioli dipping sauce sound divine, but you need to have direct access to God's credit line to afford them. When your cocktails approach movie ticket prices (worth it I might add) your food budget tends to get spread thin. Pyro Pizza literally has a wood-fired oven built into the trailer!

Jon - Globe Experience: November 2009
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Saturday, November 28, 2009. Sunday, November 22, 2009. Biking has now replaced walking. I used to 'hoof it' those 3 1/2 blocks to pick up my pizza order but now I ride. Having a bike fully set up for the street is wonderful and oh so much fun. Inclement weather be damned! Monday, November 16, 2009. Needless to say it was a very exciting and eye-opening cycling experience. Cyclocross is much older and more established than I imagined. Its origins hark back to the early 1900...

Jon - Globe Experience: January 2010
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. A few months back I posted. A blog on the cool little equine street art here in Portland. I am pleased to report that the plastic toy horses tied to the old horse hitch rings are still going strong. Just the other day I was riding up my street and came across these beauties. Someone had the foresight to equip the horses with proper winter gear. A little piece of scrap wool and an old leather shoelace did the trick. Sunday, January 17, 2010. Warm and / or Dry. Has to be the.

Jon - Globe Experience: February 2010
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 3, 2010. After discovering the sweet potato fries are no longer in season ( Burgerville. Prides its self on serving local, seasonal foods) I had to go with the Washington taters . . .and a hazelnut. Shake Its tough to ride with a drink safely so fortunately I came up with a solution thanks to the generous straw length and large pockets. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Portland, OR, United States.

Jon - Globe Experience: Warm and / or Dry
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010/01/warm-and-or-dry.html
Sunday, January 17, 2010. Warm and / or Dry. Every once in a while an idea comes along that is so brilliant and useful that everyone stops and pays attention. . .and then there is the Snuggie. Just when you think we have our pop culture pegged, along comes this wild card. Who would ever have imagined that a fleece blanket with sleeves would be a super-seller! Has to be the. I hope this sales trend means that more Americans are developing a sense of humor about it, as this hilarious video. Currently livin...

Jon - Globe Experience: October 2009
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 30, 2009. November 1st (a Day of Firsts). When it rains, it pours. Being a recent California transplant to Oregon, I am experiencing an increase in precipitation- to be expected. But this particular precipitation comes in the form of "firsts" all in the same day:. New license plate from another state ( no more dirty looks from Oregonians because I have California plates). Time getting a NEW bike since being an adult (I always built them from left over pieces or bought them used). Http:/ v...

Jon - Globe Experience: Bike Pack Hack
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010/01/bike-pack-hack.html
Friday, January 8, 2010. I did encounter one small problem with the panniers though. They kept sliding back towards the rear of the bike because the lock latch on the bottom was only good for one direction (forward). I used a set of cheap, dollar store bungees for a long time. With the rear wood deck, its a good idea to keep a set of bungees handy anyways. I finally came across a more permanent solution. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Portland, OR, United States. Currently living the dream restoring...

Jon - Globe Experience: December 2009
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Where Are You Go. Upon my return to the interwebs, I came across an inspirational preview for a different kind of bike race. One that adheres to the Woody Allen-esque quote of “ 90% of life is just showing up.” Much praise and thanks must go out to my good friend Shawn, who brought my attention to the documentary by way of his fantastic web site onehundrethmonkey. The film is in limited release at the moment ( l i n k. Little Red Headless Tricycle. The second thought seeing th...

Jon - Globe Experience: Ground Score
http://jonglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010/01/ground-score.html
Sunday, January 10, 2010. Weekend leisure / errand rides have so many wonderful peripheral benefits. The pace is just right and you get to stop and check out new scenes or places. Sure you don't get the same amount of exercise or burn as many calories as the Lycra-clad road riders, but you connect with the area around you. I like the ability to stop and check things out. This weekend I scored a pretty sweet toaster. Now who would give away a perfectly good toaster? Sure enough, after the fancy brushed me...
