Velo Celt: What happened to the wreck of the Silver Spray?
http://velocelt.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-happened-to-wreck-of-silver-spray.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. What happened to the wreck of the Silver Spray? A steam-powered ferry that ran aground in 1914 on the limestone shoal that juts into the lake at 49th street. The boiler of the Silver Spray. Photo by Dan Peterman. Mysteriously though, as I began commuting to work earlier this year in late March, early April I couldn't see the dark, angular shape of the Silver Spray's. Vanishing act in a minute though. First a little bit of history. Photo Great Lakes Maritime Database. All photos ...

Velo Celt: October 2014
http://velocelt.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 25, 2014. Bikes, beer, astronomy, and classical music. Beer and bikes seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, Bonnie and Clyde, well you get the idea. Anyway, it's rather fitting that since I resurrected one of my long lost hobbies, amateur astronomy, and combined it with bicycling, that there would be a series of beers with an astronomical theme to come along. Bell's Brewery has just released their Venus. The second beer in the series, ( Mars. Https:/ plu...

Velo Celt: September 2014
http://velocelt.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2014. The recumbent grin and how I feel about century rides these days. The "Recumbent Grin.". Bryan mugs a selfie. Lake Michigan peeps through the grass in the background. In my amateur cycling career, 2013 will probably forever be known as The Year of the Centuries. I rode three centuries in 2013, more long distance riding than I'd ever done before. I completed my second century of the year and proudly proclaimed here. And they'll include a Recumbent Grin. On Tyre Width: Sensation...

Velo Celt: Slow Roll versus Critical Mass
http://velocelt.blogspot.com/2015/06/slow-roll-versus-critical-mass.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. Slow Roll versus Critical Mass. Atmosphere of Critical Mass rides. Anyway, I suppose someone needs to be the helping hand for more timid riders. I don't know how to do that and frankly I don't know that I have the patience. Clearly, I'm not. Like Critical Mass, but whereas Critical Mass almost seems to arrogantly snub it's nose at car drivers with it's happily sarcastic "Happy Friday! June 19, 2015 at 12:18 PM. June 19, 2015 at 12:26 PM.

Velo Celt: May 2015
http://velocelt.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. No That morning it was just me and the clock. I made it to my usual halfway point and rolled past it with plenty of time to spare. I wasn't going to be late at all that morning. I had plenty of time to spare. I rolled across that bisecting street and looked down, seeing this little 8-bit robot-man ground into the pavement. I'd seen him days (weeks? Before crossing that strip of pavement but didn't pay him much mind. Was he some child's toy, or a sticker, or what?

Velo Celt: June 2013

Monday, June 17, 2013. Honing rusty photography skills at a local crit: The photographer's perspective. The race circled around the area of campus known as the Midway Plaissance, which was actually once part of the famous Worlds Columbian Exposition. The lovely architecture of the University of Chicago campus provided a nice backdrop for much of the days racing. This shot somewhat violates the common photography "Rule of Thirds,". This comes under the category of those all too common cycling action shots...
