I had hoped the Flagstaff Tweed Ride benefitting Habitat for Humanity would be the very first Tweed ride in Arizona but too late, we’ve been bested. Phoenix and Tucson got there before we did. Perhaps we can be the first Tweed Ride for a really good cause (other than recruiting more smartly dressed bike commuters, [...]
I’m thrilled with the encouragement I’ve received from my fellow bike commuting bloggers about my hopes to organize a successful Tweed ride and fundraiser benefiting Habitat for Humanity Flagstaff. So far, I haven’t seen a ride organized in conjunction with a fundraiser so it’s possible we could be the first. The first planning meeting is [...]
I threatened some months ago to organize a Tweed ride and it is indeed moving forward as a “soft” fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity Flagstaff, whose Board I am a member. Our first planning meeting is schedule for Monday, March 8 at 5:30 p.m. at The Green Room. There, I’ve written it so I must [...]
After much editing and deleting, I’ll just get to the point. My husband registered some time ago for the Louisville Ironman this coming August. He just dropped some major cash on a Kestrel Airfoil Pro SL, a triathlon bike. Since many of us loose sleep over the question of how much is too much to [...]
Every city loves a headline grabbing lane dispute. Flagstaff’s latest lane dispute generated a lot of on-line comments, most of which seem to hold a grain of truth (except for those who opined that bicyclists have no business on the road). This one involved a city bus, a video camera and bike [...]
Not one to let the winter weather get the best of her SRAB’s Louisville correspondent Sushi-K continues to pedal rain or shine, in weather fair or foul. Happily for her she has a new bakfiet to keep her motivated and help carry larger loads from work or the grocer. Sushi-K promises to send a full [...]
Eventually, one reaches a point of acceptance. I have reached that point. I accept that I will likely not be on my Breezer Uptown 8 for quite some time. The snow covering the bike lanes and multi use paths is likely to be with us for a bit longer. The drivers of unnecessarily large SUVs [...]
Because I am not feeling the recovery, and fully anticipate a salary cut due to the lack of a recovery, I am all about recessionary chic – which the careful shopper can find at Target! I must admit, that I don’t find as much at the Flagstaff Target as I do in the Phoenix or [...]
With the snowplows working overtime, our street was fairly passable so after a breakfast of homemade chocolate chip cookies (I baked late last night at the Planner Guy’s request) we headed to the gym for a work out. Running outside or biking were both out of the question unless we wanted to simply take our [...]
Flagstaff has made the headlines. We’ve been on CNN and The Weather Channel. Family members have called to check on our condition. Once it’s packed down the skiing will be good and the Arizona sun will eventually clear the streets for pedaling. Really, this just seems a bit excessive . . [...]
