Chronology and Influence of my Bicycles. Representation of my bike. 1 My first bike was a small, red, BMX-style bike with one gear and a coaster brake that I would hammer on at top speed, producing spectacular (and perfectly controlled) skid stops. I started on it with training wheels and moved on to making jumps at the bottom of my driveway out of logs and plywood, hurting myself on a few occasions. I wish I could do skid stops like that now. That summer, a mechanic commented on the fact that the bike's...

ZOMGBicycles!: May 2010
http://zomgbicycles.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. My first group ride was such fun! The weather ended up being much cooler and more pleasant than I'd expected, and it was just a joy to be cycling through our beautiful city/cities on such a sunny, breezy Memorial Day. Lots of bell-ringing and (very! But we look good, right? Answer: Yes, we do! Oh, and I also got to meet Cycler from Biking in Heels. And Somervillain (note: does not look like Curious George in person! From Boston Retro Wheelmen. I just hope it doesn't go to her head.

To my super good fortune, the school had a student-run bike shop, fully equipped and funded by the university (similar to Harvard’s Quad Bikes. That’s more or les...

A beginner bicycle mechanic’s blog. 8220;Bike Factory” photobook by Harold Roth. March 10th, 2009. I got this book. From the library and it’s pretty fun. Its full of photographs from the Columbia Manufacturing plant in Westfield MA, which opened in 1897 . Since the book’s publication of course Columbia has gone bankrupt (1987) and bike are no longer made there. I guess this is technically a kids’ book, 35 pages, but whatever. I also found a video. Would be a killer abandoned building to. March 2nd, 2009.

Car Free with Kids: XtraCycle Specs
http://carfreewithkids.blogspot.com/2008/08/xtracycle-specs.html
Thursday, August 14, 2008. To follow up Angela's introduction. To our new cargo and kid bike. Here are some details and thoughts for others who might like to try this set up. I got advice from local xtracycle riders (including Cambridge City Counsilor Craig Kelley. Which is sort of a cross between a mountain bike and a commuter bike. The xtracycle conversion went on great, after some confusion over what was the proper disc brake rotor. The bike mechanics at Quad Bikes. Did a great job. Despite my annoyan...

http://zomgbicycles.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 30, 2010. Human error, continued. After much delay with my original plans to get the Lady Raleigh her new rear wheel, it finally seemed like it was going to happen yesterday. The shop had ordered my new Sun CR-18 26 x 1-3/8" alloy rim ( foreshadowing! And I was excited to see the whole process. (For anyone interested in reading about what's involved in wheel-building, Sheldon Brown. Can of course explain it better than I can.). Can you see the ones that I snipped? Side note #1: Opinions on w...
