An Urban Cyclist: January 2014
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Sunday, January 12, 2014. In which I learn something about myself (again). See the details here. It's about getting quality miles in, and enjoying them. That happened today (thank goodness). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Get Me from Seattle to Portland! Bikes and Quilts and Blogs, Oh, My! Team in Training - Georgia Chapter. Simple template.

An Urban Cyclist: Focus
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2014/06/focus.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Saturday, June 28, 2014. This blog (shudder, I hate that word) needs a focus. It has existed primarily as a journal of my training rides (and runs) leading up to different events. That is boring. I want it to be more. I have no delusions of being a BikeSnobATL as it were. I don't have any particular insights, and I would like not to continue rehashing the "can't we all get along" approach to riding the roads in Atlanta. I don't know what to do with this space.

An Urban Cyclist: October 2013
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Short post, short ride. I didn't ride home today. I called my dad to tell him to tell me to. He wouldn't. He asked why I needed to be told to. I told him I'd almost been hit yesterday by a left turn. I'm not scared, I'm just tired of being more anxious and wound-up after a ride than before. He agrees: rides should at least be emotion-neutral. It's just not fun anymore. Atlanta, you're killing me. Letter to Office of Constituent Services.

An Urban Cyclist: A Less Urban Cyclist
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-less-urban-cyclist.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. A Less Urban Cyclist. G-man and I moved to Athens, GA in January (just before the New Year, actually, but it might as well have been January). Things are- different- here. Different from Blacksburg, even. It has been an adjustment and certainly some culture shock. (Getting used to UGA, getting used to living away from a major metro area again, getting used to 12-hour days, etc.). I can go on a 30-, 50-, 80- (etc.) mile ride from my fr...

An Urban Cyclist: April 2015
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Friday, April 24, 2015. Two and a Half Months to Go. But that has to stop. We (though I can't speak for G, so I) have to start getting in mid-week miles. Excepting that, there's no reason I can't get in at least one good ride T-R each week. The world is my oyster. I should really take pictures while we're on the road, but I'm bad about photos anyway. I'll try, I'll try. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. A Less Urban Cyclist. In Athens (a bike friendly community), there ar...

An Urban Cyclist: A Perfect Weekend
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-perfect-weekend.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Sunday, May 11, 2014. If I were an old-timey figure-skating judge, I would give this weekend a 6 (a first-place ordinal! Strava details (excluding the 3 miles because they were on a path and dropped my average, which I just couldn't abide) are here. Strava details are here. It could, of course, simply be that I had the perfect weekend. Good for me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Get Me from Seattle to Portland! Bikes and Quilts and Blogs, Oh, My!

An Urban Cyclist: America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride (ever?)
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2014/06/americas-most-beautiful-bike-ride-ever.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Saturday, June 14, 2014. America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride (ever? Photo courtesy Kathy Empen. Photo courtesy Kathy Empen. The ride back down was dicey as usual, because of the tight, technical turns and traffic, but once at the bottom we zipped right back into town, splitting up depending on where everyone planned on eating. I represented Strava well in my kit, and received a "hey! Photo courtesy Curtis Hertwig. Photo courtesy Curtis Hertwig. Speed", sometimes ev...

An Urban Cyclist: February 2014
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Friday, February 21, 2014. Atlantans: Get your collective head out of your collective ass. I rode home yesterday, but the app only recorded from school to Baker. Too bad. I'll still write up the interesting anecdote here:. And made eye contact through the open window. He returned "Hey what? I see you." And he proceeded to turn left from his right lane, behind me, into a left lane on Harris. I hate this city. Thursday, February 13, 2014. The snow is melting. I'll b...

An Urban Cyclist: April 2013
http://anurbancyclist.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Fat-bottomed girls will be riding today. Thursday, April 4, 2013. To operate a vehicle (i.e., a car, truck, motorcycle, farm equipment, horse-and-buggy and, yes, bicycle) on the road, one has certain rights. It is these rights that are so often the point of contention for the debate (for lack of more appropriate descriptor) between motorists and cyclists, especially here in Atlanta (though probably especially in any dense, urban environment). Yes, we have the right to the road, but with those rights come...
