About me













Hey everybody,

Just want to give a little background about myself before I start rambling on some tangent. I'm in my early 30's, and have rediscovered the joys and pains of bike riding. The last two years I've been bike commuting as well as the family rides with the wife & kids. We just moved to MN from WI, and are currently suffering in the cold. My new job is 11 miles from work and to celebrate I got a brand new Trek 7.3 to commute with. Ain't she pretty? Enuf about me, on to the rambling!

My wife has had a blog for a year or so, and I never really had enough to say to start one. Then I started reading a bike magazine the other day and thought, winter sucks. I'll bet there's a ton of people like me who can't afford to go on bike trips in the south this time of year. And c'mon, who wants to read about all these cool rides when my car will barely start? So here I am, here we are, I should say. Send a comment, let me know how much you hate winter and want to be on your bike. Or if you are on your bike when the weathers like this, aren't you afraid of salt and rust?

Cool lookin' bike! I rode in a corporate event once. Never again, because I'm not good with very big hills. I nearly fainted. So, I took up crafts with yarn. Atleast I can do that in the winter. LOL. Congrats on your blog. Us yarnies are looking forward to your bike adventures. (YO via AJ)

I know what you mean about the hills. There was one on my commute that was killer.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

I think AJ should knit a cover for your bike!
