Velo Haven | For Steel Frames & Personal Musings | Page 2

https://velohaven.wordpress.com/page/2

For Steel Frames and Personal Musings. This week, I received the Resist Nomad tires in 42mm (actual) width. Last night, I escaped to do a 45 min romp among the neighborhood to test the rigors of what the tires would see. I sought out gravel, right asphalt, grass, even jumping off uneven sidewalks. It was nice to not worry about the ills that tires usually suffer from these conditions and just have fun. I felt exhilarated. Some pictures.look to do better shots soon. Format and tagged resist. More importan...

Suburban Cycling: January 2013

http://melaniesuzanne.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 22, 2013. 55F, sunny, 23mph wind gusting to 35mph: Yeah, sure. I'll happily - well, maybe not happily. Considering the wind - ride in that for miles and miles and miles. 19F, sunny, windchill of 8F: Oh HAYELL no. Call me a wuss. I can take it. I can also keep my toes, fingers, and nose.

Velo Haven | Velo Haven

https://velohaven.wordpress.com/author/rpiretti85

For Steel Frames and Personal Musings. Have you ever gone on a ride and your stress levels go way up? I did a ride yesterday after taking off ft about a month. It felt great to go out. Being sick, busy job, vacationing, you know, first world problems, have kept me off the bike. It’s a reminder to myself that in rides in the future, I’ll try to accept the surroundings as they are, hug the road, and focus on the job to be done. I’m not riding much. Right now, not on my saddle. I suppose the underlying angs...

Not Riding | Velo Haven

https://velohaven.wordpress.com/2014/09/06/not-riding

For Steel Frames and Personal Musings. I’m not riding much. 8230;is the inner dialogue I have in my mind as I approach the end of the day or sit down at my desk in the mornings. The early/mid parts of the summer had me riding nearly every day as per usual. Then the second baby was born, then work was busy, then I went out of town and now I’m sick for nearly a week. Where does the time go? Right now, not on my saddle. What do we do as cyclists when we don’t ride? Or, how do you cope? You are commenting us...

Lviv, Ukraine; August 18-19, 2014 | Velo Haven

https://velohaven.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/lviv-ukraine-august-18-19-2014

For Steel Frames and Personal Musings. Lviv, Ukraine; August 18-19, 2014. Terrific insight to a country in the intern’l spotlight. Last Monday she wrote, telling me that she would not be able to come visit again this year, regretfully. On Wednesday she wrote again, telling me that she had bought a plane ticket. On Friday, she and my brother arrived in Kyiv and immediately boarded a train to Lviv. Lael and I composed a roundabout route back towards Strij though the mountains. We boarded an. C and o canal.

Dirt Riding | Velo Haven

https://velohaven.wordpress.com/2014/08/20/dirt-riding

For Steel Frames and Personal Musings. Earlier this summer, I set on a course to slim down the Campeur and have a more speedy version of itself. What began as a good idea to be always conscious of my speed fizzled out to a goal of having fun. I was never going to be “fast” with the equipment I am locked into. To test these tires out to the max, I took a trip over to Red Mountain Park. In all, the first dirt riding experience was positive and a good change. However, I’m sure 650b wheels would of...I soon ...

Suburban Cycling: December 2012

http://melaniesuzanne.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 31, 2012. Living in the present is difficult for me as I'm constantly evaluating the past so I can use that experience to improve the future. A year ago today, I reached a goal that I'd thought impossible: I rode the nearly 46 mile round trip from my home to the western trail head of the W&OD trail. Flexed connections by busting a delivery driver for aggressive driving and received an apology from the regional director and a promise of educating area employees. Rode the streets of DC and...

Suburban Cycling: Women in Cycling Series: "The Bike: How It Works and How to Buy One"

http://melaniesuzanne.blogspot.com/2013/01/women-in-cycling-series-bike-how-it.html

Friday, January 18, 2013. Women in Cycling Series: "The Bike: How It Works and How to Buy One". Kathy Rosen of Upon a Bike. Because Kathy had called me a "ringer", a few women asked me more about my bikes and my opinion on what would be good for them. I pretty much echoed Kathy's suggestion that they borrow a bike from a friend and test ride lots of bikes to see what felt good to them. While I LOVE my hybrid, that doesn't mean they'd love it as well. June 4, 2013 at 3:39 PM. I grew up with a fostered lov...
