Yesterday’s “No Kings” event at Mariposa Basin Park was a tremendous display of widespread activism, and, as is true for just about any activity, it was even better on a bicycle. Riding up the Bosque Path in ~100 degree heat, there were few other cyclists heading northerly. I wondered if they were also going to… Read More Today’s Ride: No Kings Celebration

Today is one of those twice a year days, so I’ve spent the requisite 57 minutes coaxing my old Surly’s back side… Read More Today’s Ride: Everyone Knows This is Nowhere
