A Refresher Course on Fall Cycling Style 10/19/10

Fall is the most fun season to dress for, in my opinion, whether on a bike or not. Tights, scarves and boots all come into play, but in a fun and casual way, not the oppressive way of winter. Last year we wrote a How To for fall cycling style. In Paris, Trisha demonstrated the effortlessly chic look that's so spot on for this time of year. Note the main ingredients that we discussed in last year's advice column: a dress made season-appropriate with a pair of fun tights and a breezy cardigan. Such an ...

Carrying a Guitar on a Bike 01/06/10

I embarked on a new adventure this year by enrolling in a guitar class. I was worried about transporting the guitar for two miles, but turns out it's easy peasy. Cycling with a guitar on your back is the kind of simple trick that only looks difficult. The case fits on like a backpack and the guitar is pretty light. The bottom of the guitar stops at the top of my saddle, so there's no interference. The top of the guitar is slim, so it does not obstruct my view looking back. I already get looks simply for bein...

Folding the Jango Flik 11/17/09

I've been out of town for a few days, but I'm looking forward to getting back and spending more time with the Flik. It's a pretty sweet ride so far, and a real conversation starter. Before I left, I recorded this brief, bare-bones video of the folding process over my lunch break -- couldn't pass up the opportunity to spend some time outdoors in "Dragon Park" on such a beautiful fall day! Apologies for the lack of close-ups -- a full review is coming soon. p.s. if you haven't found it yet, check out our YouTube...

How-To: Leading a Group Ride 10/13/09

Our posts about group rides nearly always draw comments like "I wish we had one of these in my city" or "I've been wanting to organize something like this, but . . . ." I used to be one of those commenters, until the Garden Party Ride here in Nashville showed me that yes, Virginia, we could host our own cycling event. You can, too! And you should. Group rides like these are a lot of fun, and in my opinion they're even better than Critical Mass for raising community awareness of city cycling. Here'...

World Premier: Our First How-To Video 10/06/09

Attentive readers might remember Dottie's passing mention of us filming a how-to video when I was in Chicago two weeks ago. We decided to start with the basics and demonstrate how to start and stop properly. As befits a LGRAB production, it's a little goofy and definitely unscripted, but we think we shared some useful information  -- and hey, if nothing else, you get to see Dottie's beautiful bikes in motion! This is just the beginning of our YouTube adventures, so stay tuned: we've got a channel to fill. And now, w...
