Listen to a wonderful photo narrative of –closure of NYC streets to motorized vehicles and open to foot and human powered wheels- by the NY Times — Bill Cunningham. Go NYC!!!
We are also getting ready, as we are having our own Sunday streets SF tomorrow! Nice!

Citizen Chain

August 30, 2008 No Comments

Dallas and Sasha are super cool guys. I’ve only stopped for air many times but, my Frenchie is due for some maintenance soon and will sooon be visiting the Citizen. Muy nice shop, they got a thing for vintage bikes ‹check his sales page›, and we have matching taste for cool stuff. Now will a newspaper reporter solve the mystery of the newspaper magnate riding a bike??? Get on it and find the Rosebud in North Beach. Nice!

Bike the Journal

August 28, 2008 2 Comments


I have been a reader of ZYZZYVA the journal of west writers & artists for awhile. Always nice
to see good work by unknown writers and new talent given some good exposure.
Operated locally, this literary magazine publishes 3x a year and it makes me happy when it
finally arrives in my mailbox. And, this issue (#83) included a bicycle drawing by Ethan Murrow. Nice!

From their zizipedia “Art: We take seriously our mandate to showcase the work of West Coast writers and artists,
reproducing 30 or so images in each issue, an on-going survey of recent drawing, printmaking, and photography.”


A Beautiful View of the dust market as wealthy miner Thatcher Rohnald arrives with her train, 2007
by Ethan Murrow. Graphite. 74in x 74 in.

(Scanned image from my fall2008/issue#83, but visit ‹Ethan Murrow’s› website for more of his work.)

Read a great article about ZYZZYVA in the LA Timesr
LA TIMES / Bay Area Journal is an improbable success story in world of letters›

Pedal your Revolution

August 27, 2008 No Comments

I’ve been going here and there to Pedal Revolution for years. Located in la Mission neighborhood, not only do they have a crazy colorful prism of accessories to go with your pimped ride, but their social mission and outreach program to the youth is great. Cool cats.




Colorful San Francisco’s local-made Chrome bags flood the shop with color,
and I was happy to also see a good selection of Banjo Brothers bags


coffee. hells yes.

Speaking of los Chrome bags, I hadn’t been to the Chrome
website in ages (that is pre-women in their pictures, ca.2004??)
Now they got a good set of photos rolling, even a few shots
around the hilly Marin Headlands! & they also got a spanking
new location on 4th (near Brannan). Go Chrome-nittes!!!

Oh, Hi Ron!
