Fast Bicycle One of my favorite things about biking vs driving: When I used to drive, I always drove with my doors locked… I would play my stereo, and mostly avoid any contact with other drivers on the road (just stayed in my gas-guzzling bot). But now, I ride my bike and oddly enough, I’m […]

About 25 years ago, I took a bicycle across the United States. I soon found out that the greatest item of clothing was the trusty bandanna. There were dozens of uses for a bandanna – as a pot holder, a chain cleaner, a sun shield, a headband, a snot rag, a declaration of Kerouacian intent. […]
