I LOVE iced coffee. Due to a lack of Dunkin Donuts in California, I make my own iced coffee with Dunkies brand at home. And then, of course, drown it in cream and sugar. I wanted iced coffee today at work. I wanted to bike to work. What do you know?? MY iced coffee container…

Commuting in the dark, stormy night and staying glaringly, hideously visible.
So this is actually old news for anyone living in Los Angeles, but I thought I’d post this for the non-Angelinos. There was recently an event in Los Angeles lovingly referred to as Carmageddon.

While riding to work, I like to look around and take in the strange sights that the city has to offer. You know, instead of maybe looking ahead of me and being alert to serious dangers in the road. Well, I AM doing that as well. It’s nice having a Type 2 Bike Pathway (bike…
I have started to bike to work again. I pulled up to the bike rack today and noticed that pretty much no one else locked up their bikes. I stood, stared and pondered. Should I lock my bike? Will that make it seem like I don’t trust the security staff? If others don’t lock their…
