single speed bike tour

"Yes, you might have to get off and walk up a few hills, but that's hardly a tragedy, in fact sometimes it can be a nice change of pace! If you are in a hurry, why are you on a bicycle?" ~Sheldon Brown

This quote helped to inspire our single speed bike journey from Philly to Easton, PA last weekend.

There were frustrations at first with the heat, the hills, the uncertainty of where we would end up (we were trying to make it to the Delaware Water Gap by nightfall).

But then!

We couldn't escape the beauty all around. The rolling country hills, the rhythm we fell into and the simple freedom of relying on nothing but our legs and these amazing, quiet, lovely bicycles.

Can't wait to go from coast to coast!

went to a roof top bike-in movie sponsored by the Philly Bike Coalition last week - the movie of the evening? Breaking Away!

If you haven't seen it, Breaking Away is pretty great. Enjoy the trailer!

What does the beloved purple dinosaur Barney have in common with Miami Beach's "Hip Hop Weekend" (or as some call it Urban Beach Weekend)?

Just this sweet ride - or as I like to refer to it, the 8th wonder of the world.

amazing.
