The West Side

We had a great time Sunday at Dig INDIANA .  Since Pedal and Park was going to be there, we decided to make a day of it.  We parked the car in Broad Ripple, and rode the canal tow path/White River greenway all the way to White River State Park.  After the event we took the Monon back to the car.  It was a great day to ride a bike in Indy. The tow path is one of my favorite trails.  It's not paved, true, but it's quite scenic.  The area around the IMA is lovely.  The thing I found interesting was it was almost devoid of people! Have you used this path?  If not, why?   This really is the best time of year to ride a bicycle. Ride on!

Any day you can ride your bike to work is a good day

It's the last day of the show. The bikes for next year look good, but then they always do. There are some exciting things happening with our website that you should stay tuned for. The thing about Madison that is so striking is the sheer.number of walk/bike paths. So many people ride here because they have a place. We are heading in the right direction, but there is so far to go.

It's the second day of the show. At this point I had hoped to have lots of great pics to share. Problem is, I'm a crappy photographer. All the fluorescent lights are playing he'll with my abilities. That being said, here are some of the better shots so far. Ride on! Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Leaving this morning for Madison. Always a good time going back to the Mothership. I will try to get all the new stuff up here ASAP. Ride on!

I sold this bike the other day.  It's a great bike.  Anyone would be happy to own it. It now belongs to a recently graduated college student.  He will use it (along with public trans) as his primary means of getting around. His father brought his college bike in to the shop to see if there was any hope left.  It had been on the East coast, and had to be left outside all year long.  We have pretty miraculous powers of restoration, but this was beyond even our abilities. The conversation next turned to a new bike.  Mom, and the bikes owner got involved.  The story here is the excitement that this "kid" (and don't we all feel like kids when we're riding a bike we really love) exuded during the process. The excitement turned to adulation when we finished building this two wheeled wonder.  After the first test ride I thought he was going to pop. Do you have a bike that makes you feel like a little kid all over again.  Do you have a bike that you really love?
