More bikers. That’s right folks, rising gas prices are bringing more people into the light. RideFridays.org has been doing a great job of encouraging and informing for a while now. A recent post covers the increasing use of alternative means of commuting in the KC area.
I’m lucky that my wife is not only the better looking but smarter member of our pair. As usual, I rolled out in semi-awake fashion, not realizing until I was 9 miles out that I left my cell phone and pager (90’s pimp style) at home. Being without a cell phone, I was unable to … More …better than one
Holy crap. April is gone, and our wedding tour of the Midwest is taking its toll on my energy, time, and wallet. I wasn’t able to get a camping trip in during the month of April. I don’t know if I’m allowed to make it up or not. I guess that kind of forfeits my … More Reality sucks
I was late this morning again. I swear that I set my alarm for 5:50, but me lady woke me up at 6:17 to ask if I was biking in. Crap. I somehow managed to gather some clothes, make lunch, and pack everything (along with a few other morning dooties) and be out the door … More Another late start

However, I did come across a notable discovery: a difference between Johnson county and Jackson county. In Johnson county when someone almost runs you over, they apologize. In Jackson county, they usually ignore … More Look both ways…
