commutist: Ride some miles for Mr. Brown

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2008/02/ride-some-miles-for-mr-brown.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Monday, February 04, 2008. Ride some miles for Mr. Brown. Yesterday Eileen and I were traipsing around the neighborhood in search of avocados to make some guacamole. She pointed to the rear wheel of an old Raleigh and noted it was kind of different looking. I explained that it was an old internal geared hub and thought about telling her about that 'guy' on the internet that raved about them and still sold hard to find parts to keep them ticking.

commutist: Soundtracks

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2009/03/soundtracks.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Monday, March 16, 2009. I think I threatened in the past to start doceumenting the mental soundtrack that goes through my head as I ride (its not just screaming, honest). Lets see how long I can make it. Let's see how often certain songs repeat - I know there are favorites. Home: The Yoko Casionos. Posted by Dan Mc. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

commutist: MMS - Monkey Maintenance Session

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2009/03/mms-monkey-maintenance-session.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Sunday, March 22, 2009. MMS - Monkey Maintenance Session. I did a Monkey Maintenace Session yesterday and installed the Sugino XD cranks. Old BB was right size and still had lots of life (long live the UN-52 or was it 53) so it stayed. After 4 years of one 170mm and one 175mm crank arm that stuck out differing lengths, I can now say that everything matches and sticks out equally! Posted by Dan Mc.

commutist: New Route

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-route.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Wednesday, April 08, 2009. On Sunday when Eileen and I were traipsing around the city - me trying to determine if the asthma was going do me in - we stumbled upon a new route for me to take to work. Ironically the route is really just an extension of the bike route that passes down our street! Posted by Dan Mc. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

commutist: Ride Locally. Shop Glob...Locally?

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2009/04/ride-locally-shop-globlocally.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Ride Locally. Shop Glob.Locally? An interesting set of articles. Regarding shopping at your LBS vs Online Retailers are popping up on the blogosphere. At the moment. The argument has been had or will be had in every industry buy it online for cheap or locally for more, but (hopefully) get better service. Its a tough choice to make as a consumer - but, then again, why should it be hard for consumer? Posted by Dan Mc.

commutist: Back on the horse!!!

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2007/08/back-on-horse.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Monday, August 27, 2007. Back on the horse! My Karate Monkey might not appreciate being referred to as a horse, but it suits the metaphor. Plus, I consider it a noble steed. Posted by Dan Mc. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. View my complete profile. How to avoid the bummer life.

commutist: Footwear

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2009/03/footwear.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Sunday, March 29, 2009. One of my flaws is that I often ride bare foot. Not having the sock in there to act as a barrier between foot and shoe . With the new shoes I vow to ride sock'd. After trying on a few different shoes I opted for a pair of Diadora X-Trail Evos. I've only just got the cleats on the new shoes today so I don't have much of a review so far. Once I get a few rides in, I'll see how it goes. Posted by Dan Mc. View my complete profile.

commutist: Scottish Drivetrain

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2009/05/scottish-drivetrain.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Sunday, May 24, 2009. On my way to work a few weeks my chain decided enough was enough. "I'm outta here." It said. "I'll be inside grabbing a Coke.". There I sat, outside the Richmond Coca-Cola factory removing the broken chainlink, shortening my chain and getting good and greasy. 10s of thousands of miles I've carried a chainbreaker. Today I got to use it on the side of the road. Posted by Dan Mc. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

commutist: Snuffleupagus

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2009/04/snuffleupagus.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Tuesday, April 07, 2009. Last week I put the bike away and dealt with a allergy-related cold. For the first time in many years my asthma kicked in to gear to make the matters worse. I haven't needed to use my inhaler like that for, no-joke, 15 years. On Sunday Eileen and I took a tour around the city for a few hours, I was hoping to ride the 100km Pacific Populaire. This year but didn't want to push my luck. Dang. Posted by Dan Mc.

commutist: bikes are replaceable

http://commutist.blogspot.com/2007/08/bikes-are-replaceable.html

One cyclist's adventures through the urban jungle. Thursday, August 16, 2007. I am just going to pretend like nothing happened to the blog. Pretend like I didn't miss posting for 3 months. I'd really like to pretend that one of my closest friends, Amy. Didn't call me last weekend to tell me that she was okay but just got out of emergency after going over the bars , cracking her helmet and getting some not so tasty road rash. I am happy to be back on the blog too. Posted by Dan Mc. View my complete profile.
