One Speed: Go!: In the Grasp of Night

http://onespeedgo.blogspot.com/2015/07/in-grasp-of-night.html

Sunday, July 5, 2015. In the Grasp of Night. What a four second exposure of a dozen Segway tourists buzzing across the Soleri Bridge looks like. This night, monsoon brewing, I felt the night grasp me, power my ride, urge me onward. Were they also in the grasp of night? Did they feel the lightning crackle? Hear the cicadas' poem? From the center of my bottom bracket, I affirm this night. Still looking good, the golden tubes. July 6, 2015 at 7:12 PM. They still sell Segways? July 6, 2015 at 7:44 PM. I comm...

One Speed: Go!: Euphoric States of the Bicycling Mind

http://onespeedgo.blogspot.com/2014/05/euphoric-states-of-bicycling-mind.html

Thursday, May 8, 2014. Euphoric States of the Bicycling Mind. A feeling like a waterfall of flowers is about to cascade onto me in the bike lane (tilt your head left a little bit). When riding your bicycle, do you ever experience mental states which you would consider to be meditative, euphoric, or even slightly hallucinatory? A heightened state of awareness? Imagination fueled, mind opened, dreams inflamed, daydreamer on full throttle? Small Creatures Living Next to Water. Umbrella Me with Otherness.

One Speed: Go!: June 2015

http://onespeedgo.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 29, 2015. Living in the Age of Cactus Cameras. What a lovely cactus in the middle of that new roundabout.hey wait a minute. Smile, you're on candid cactus: PV gets eyes on plates. News of these broke in all the usual places about a month and a half ago, so this is just about my little post-work ramble* to grab a couple of pictures of a camera semi-hiding in a cactus in the middle of a roundabout. From the other side, just a squat saguaro behind a gabion town sign. Thursday, June 25, 2015.

One Speed: Go!: August 2015

http://onespeedgo.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 27, 2015. How High Should We Stretch, How Far Should We Go? Quieting the voice of limits and stopping. How high should we stretch? How far should we go? Are the limits a greater force than the demands to do more? How great could we be? How much could we do? How far could we ride? How fast could we go? How happy could we be? Do what you can do, but how do you know what that might be if you don't try? Saturday, August 22, 2015. Leave It All in the Free Box at Kennedy Meadows. Man thats a l...

One Speed: Go!: A More Vivid Light by the Nighttime Shadows

http://onespeedgo.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-more-vivid-light-by-nighttime-shadows.html

Sunday, July 12, 2015. A More Vivid Light by the Nighttime Shadows. Summer Sunday evenings the streets are nearly empty, and feel like mine. They are not mine, but they feel like it, these empty Sunday evening streets in the summertime. Although it's still quite hot out, once the roasting sun is set, the air gentles down to a softer feel, and the "dry heat" mantra starts to make additional sense. I hang close to the canal to feel the cooler breezes that sometimes float off it. Labels: art that floats.

One Speed: Go!: April 2015

http://onespeedgo.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 2, 2015. O Love O Beauty O Spring. Weed flower w/spider in my yard, Catclaw Vine, MacFadyena unguis-cati. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I commute by bicycle in Phoenix, Arizona, a metropolis suited to riding bicycles of all types, with weather, mountains, roads, canals, and paths to keep me forever spinning. My favorite bike tools are an open mind, creative engagement, curiosity, compassion, common ground, and the search for knowledge. Or leave a comment, they are always appreciated. Every ...

One Speed: Go!: Bicycle Commuting Tips: The Myth of Blood, Sweat, and Tears

http://onespeedgo.blogspot.com/2011/12/bicycle-commuting-tips-myth-of-blood.html

Thursday, December 15, 2011. Bicycle Commuting Tips: The Myth of Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Let's talk about riding to work. In order to understand a challenge or problem, I like to break it down into its parts, and look at the sub-problems within each part, so that rather than one big mess of scary impossibility, the challenge can be seen as a set of smaller problems, some of which are already solved, and all the rest of which can be solved, one at a time if need be. 1) Get on your bicycle. I have noticed...
