The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Friday, August 7, 2015. On politics and living the smaller life (there IS bike content here). The Election Distraction Season has begun. Last night, many of my friends who had cable were glued to their TV sets, watching the first televised Republican debate. There is so much wrong with this:. 1 The debate was scheduled fifteen months before the election. That the powers-that-be need to distract us so far out from Election Day cannot be good. Here are my solution...

bikelovejones: ride anyway.
http://bikelovejones1.blogspot.com/2015/07/ride-anyway.html
The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Sunday, July 26, 2015. This morning, I woke up feeling groggy. I sat up and immediately felt dizzy. Which was annoying, because I had signed up to work a volunteer shift as a roving mechanic for Sunday Parkways. I did not want or need to be dizzy. So I bailed about half an hour early from my shift, ate some lunch and went home, where I went straight to bed and slept hard for a couple of hours. I got to ride my bicycle. And I got to come home to my Sweetie. Bikel...

The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Sunday, June 29, 2014. Ebay knock-off of the week: brooks - not. Number eight in an occasional series). This week on eBay, another shining example of bike industry impli-fakery:. Http:/ www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Leather-Shoulder-Messenger-Backpack-Sport-Travel-Cycling-Bag-Satchel-/301227497465?

bikelovejones: ride report: outer east portland
http://bikelovejones1.blogspot.com/2015/05/ride-report-outer-east-portland.html
The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Ride report: outer east portland. I invited Slug Velo alumni and their friends who get the concept to join me for a mellow, slug-paced bike ride. Not wanting to be totally responsible, I advised that this would be a leaderless ride, and that if found a route and decided we didn't like it, we'd veer and go somewhere else. But I think I'll keep the Andiamos. They DO come in handy.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). She still keeps a hand ...

The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Sunday, January 25, 2015. Springtime in january: rocky butte. Friday, January 23, 2015. Bicycling and depression: an update. Some time back I talked about menopause. Specifically, about bicycling and how it can help manage some symptoms of peri-menopause. It has been a very hard road. As near as I and my doctor can tell it came on around the same time as my career change. Every doctor out there will tell you that physical activity elevates endorphins, and that r...

bikelovejones: October 2014
http://bikelovejones1.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. I am not my job: a reminder. Staying at a friend's vacation house in Central Oregon for a mid-week getaway, I finally had time to slow down after all my summer and fall travels for work. Slowing down was exactly what I didn't want. Slowing down was exactly what I needed. It was just what I needed. There is a lot more to me than just what i do for a living. Sometimes all it takes to remind me of that is a very simple bicycle ride. While...

The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Perusing the craigslist ads back home, just to see what's what, I came across this delightfully absurd listing:. Http:/ portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bop/4682382837.html. The seller is apparently serious. And I cannot stop giggling at the wackniess of it all. Somebody please buy this. Please. Saturday, September 20, 2014. Greetings from overland park. Cheers, and happy riding! Wednesday, September 10, 2014. Repair and return: a video.

http://bikelovejones1.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Friday, November 28, 2014. I have not ridden a bicycle since last Saturday. And I am heere until Sunday. This will be an entire week off the bike. Amd I really don't like it one bit. Not riding has made me bored, listless, and a little grumpy. I cannot wait to get home and pull out a bicycle on Monday morning. Sunday, November 16, 2014. Ebay laugh-of-the-month: Ross headbadge. Surfing the interwebs today, I found this:. Saturday, November 15, 2014. Gateway green...

bikelovejones: March 2015
http://bikelovejones1.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
The true adventures of a gal and her bike. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Still, it occurs to me that getting back in may be harder than I thought, in part because of those newer technologies. When I worked at Citybikes. Well, that is changing. Today the bicycle industry is slapping discs on anything that moves, including mid-level commuter bikes. And in this one instance, Jan Heine (of Bicycle Quarterly. This is kinda like that.). So I am handing out my resume at shops where it's less likely that I will be wor...
