It makes quite happy to hear from readers around the states commenting on my caffeinated adventures, sharing personal thoughts, and communicating via this tool about our common denominator machine, the bicycle. That’s pretty rad.
Get out and ride people! You will discover new spots in your own back yard, catch some fresh air and make some new friends along the way.

Here are some of the snaps a long-time reader of this blog, mr. Jon C. has shared for the last few months. Always brightening up my mailbox – Enjoy!

• Autumn – October
I just finished the re-build of my city bike. I figured once every 20 years weather it needs it or not, Right? Pretty cool that all it needed was a new front hub (pitted) and a new front rim (dished). Had it powder coated and Zapp…….. good as new!!


• February

made my morning!

• February
It’s still too cold around here to ride with any kind of comfort

or fun but it won’t be long till it comes back.

Our small early AM SF crew roamed over the eastbay lands to ride bikes and eat tacos. It was a very nice event organized by the East Bay Bike Coalition, Oaklandish and the California Taco Truck Blog [link here]. It was a very nice event and although the weather wasn’t super cold, it was damp enough to make your fingers annoyed. That’s when the champurrado kicked in. Ade and I hadn’t hung out pretty much since the holidays, and it was nice to get back in the grove. The beggining of the year is always a strange set of weeks that just seem to fly past you. oyyy.

friends, bikes y coffee

Anyways, to the best of my space cadet mentality, my camera’s battery was not to its fullest. BUT first and foremost, I’d like to thank my peeps for waiting for me in the AM, I was running quite late. Pre-taco stop: coffee – du’h.

taco crowd gathers 🙂

Here Ade snapped a picture of what our crew does best. Ride to chillax. We chat, we eat, we talk bikes and food. Good stuff. Eric and I here, debating which tacos we’re gonna check out next.
