Today will be my last regular post here on this blog. I have created a new blog for my logging and you may visit at http://bikemetrolouisville.blogspot.com/.

Hope all is well......................

Nice 2 Day Totals + Monday

I opted for the photo on Sunday rather than text what I personally had ridden over the weekend, I thought the election carried more weight than me on my bike. Any rate, I rode near 70 miles over the weekend in really nice conditions. Stayed on this side of the bridge and steered clear of the traffic both days on Blackiston Mill Road, but must say that it was a nice surface to ride upon.

Monday I started out after work only to get soaked to the bone before having to call my taxi for a pick up at the Floyd County 4H Fairgrounds. Then went to my work and road the exercise bikes for over twenty miles and felt like I had had a good workout, even though it was in doors.

FYI... The Silver Creek Bridge is supposed to open on November 15th if the weather continues to help out the workers.

Jorg & Olif Now Available In The U.S.

*story borrowed from

I know isn’t directly related to Portland, but I’ve been following the local bakfiets and Dutch city bike news lately and I know a lot of Portlanders (including myself) love these things. So here you go. Jorg & Olif, the stylish Canadian company who re-brands and modifies authentic Dutch city bikes has just announced that they have established a North American shipping operation. No retail store yet, but at least now you can get the goods without paying the crazy shipping costs.
They’ve even got this handy order guide (links to PDF). And, depending on if you’ve been naughty or nice, Christmas orders are due by November 5th.
The bikes are available in 1, 3, or 8 speeds and range in price from $795 - $1,295 respectively. I guess the Electra Amsterdam has its first direct competitor.

A Progressive Cycling Community

When I wanted to start this blog, this is the kind of site I had a vision of creating. With a little luck and lots of help it just might happen.
