The painting is of this time of year when you ride out D Street to by the Marin French Cheese Factory, headed to Point Reyes. It is beautiful out there. If you hang a right at Hicks Valley you will end up on Tomales Bay in the town of Marshall where they serve fresh oysters overlooking the...

My dad had access to an unlimited supply of 1/4 inch steel ball bearings. They were used in test equipment, then disguared.

It is the tires. To go flat free get a set of Schwalbe Pick Ups. And put MucOff tube sealant in the tubes. My friend Natalie rides daily with her 7 foot long cargo bike. She has not had a flat in four years and the tires have not needed a rotation. With the PickUps flat is not even part of her...

I think this was the photo I showed of myself. I am in the lower right.

I am old enough. There are overdubs, I am old enough to remember this. Yes, well over six decades and corny as hell. I fit drum kits like hers with tar paper inside to take out the ring. So '70's studio! Steely Dan. I like that '70's studio sound for drum kits. But love burlesque swing. .

I know all the Beatles songs. But do not remember JFK and do remember LBJ, MLK, and Woodstock, it took place in my NY area at the time, and as a kid skinny-dipping with long haired hippies after running across a field to a stream. It was called Fishkill Creek. Kill meaning stream in Scottish...

I am that old! I got carded yesterday and the guy laughed at how many more times older I am than the legal age. Then I needed to use a toothpick to straighten the whisker fine brass pins inside a display connector but couldn't see them clearly enough with Winter light, so I had to go out in a...

My ex said that I was 'acting erratically' during the divorce because I wouldn't sit still while her lawyers attacked. Those are the dogs in this video, I am the bunny.

I have a drawer filled with colors of nail polish for touching up bikes. Because my USBs are always upside down and incompatible I have taken to putting a dot of colored nail polish on the compatible sides. I still don't always get it right. Every device is a different standard.

Jane just picked up her Felt and is super happy. That session took another 1.5 hours of demos and discussions. I have spent a total of 4 focused hours with her. No retail place would do that. Her bike is tailored just for her. I gave her some AA powered Christmas lights and we installed them...

Those Canyon gravel bikes with the Bosch are sweet. And good in any situation, from commuter, to off road. They still feel like a bike.

The RADs were always heavy, clunky, hub-drives with no feel. I know of a guy, Kevin, who thought his was a mountain bike because of 4 inch tires. A bike like that does not belong on a mountain, it belongs in a flat trailer park. Even in 2024 they were still selling clunky hub-drives with cadence...

That quad drives both rear wheels. On sharp turns the inside one skips. But it still works. And slow speed sharp turns are rare, like in parking situations.

Its 864 watts max. I made it. Bears on Wheels.

This bike was handmade in England out of something called Reynolds 631. It is strong, lightweight, and provides a forgiving ride. Then I made it stealth electric with a DM02 and a T145 display. She owns a Vado SL and says that this one is ten times better. For some reason all my best bikes go to...

I am not seeing a videos of this year's holiday lighted bike ride. It was great. But I did spot this, which is also fun. Watch one minute.

That is how I understand it. For my 60cm classic Euro frame the seatpost is raised by 20cm and it has a long quill stem puting the grips at the same height as the saddle. After many years and miles on its coaster brake TS mid-drive I wore out the clutch so I removed the motor and now its an...

I thought the measurement was called 'stack'. Make a horizontal line from the top of the steer tube back to the seatpost and from that straight down to the center of the bottom bracket. If it does catch fire that will provide cauterization, so on the upside you won't bleed out in the boonies...

I have never set the time on my camera. It was midnight January First for the time stamp when I turned it on. Now it thinks it is the last week of February. Our Poutine is a little different here in the alternate universe CA. It has fries and queso fresco but also guacamole, pico de gallo...
