The adventures and mischief of an autodidactic miscreant and amateur track cyclist: bikes, books, beers, stationary travels, and daydreams in New York City. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. On Monday morning, I hit snooze on my cell phone alarm clock a few times before seriously lifting my head. I muttered to myself and kicked at the sheets, grabbed the string for the venetians that dangled by the head of my bed and tugged the blinds open - not much brighter. Yeah, it's getting toward December all right.

This weekend, I'm going to keep on checking Streetsblog. For some hot news that might be coming from Mayor Bloomberg. Rumors are flying that an Earth Day press conference will include announcement about a trial congestion pricing plan. Basically, a toll for automobile access of midtown and downtown Manhattan. And it must be bu...

Column in the New York Times does what the Times occasionally does, which is state the obvious. All of New York is expensive, and Williamsburg is desirable despite everybody else who thinks that Williamsburg is desirable. I can't be the only person who's bored by demographic speculation about so-called hipsters, can I?

The adventures and mischief of an autodidactic miscreant and amateur track cyclist: bikes, books, beers, stationary travels, and daydreams in New York City. Thursday, January 18, 2007. When I'm biking, I try to reign in my frustration with pedestrians. We have to share the same inadequate spaces, we share similar dangers from cars, and we stand to benefit most from (and ought to be united by) the Liveable Streets Movement. However,. It is extremely frustrating. A fraction of a second to react. There's so...

The adventures and mischief of an autodidactic miscreant and amateur track cyclist: bikes, books, beers, stationary travels, and daydreams in New York City. Tuesday, June 19, 2007. I'm eagerly awaiting the results from Rumble Through The Bronx. I know how I finished, but I have to admit - I just want to see it written down among so many other names. Yesterday, something significant came in the mail - cycling shorts. But I guess I've crossed the threshold. Posted by mattio at 10:30 AM. If I glance at myse...

The adventures and mischief of an autodidactic miscreant and amateur track cyclist: bikes, books, beers, stationary travels, and daydreams in New York City. Monday, July 30, 2007. Monday morning at work. I'm still thirsty, undercaffeinated, slightly dehydrated. Tired, but my sweat from the morning commute has dried. Why did I decide to go to Boston? I have a wariness of Boston that, at some point - mixed with fear and ignorance - blossomed into full-blown avoidance. I'm never racing in Boston! We rode in...

The adventures and mischief of an autodidactic miscreant and amateur track cyclist: bikes, books, beers, stationary travels, and daydreams in New York City. Tuesday, December 19, 2006. I usually am sure to describe myself as a biker, not a cyclist. "What's the difference? Some people ask me. I frown, thinking about it for a moment, and respond, "Lycra.". Though I'll probably get some before too long. Well, it happened to me. Fortunately, I didn't lose any bits of finger, though I came uncomfortably c...
