Sometimes I want to carry a paint ball gun and shoot it at cars that try to push me to the side of the road. I really hate it when no other cars are near and drivers have to see how close they can get to me. Then I could shoot red paint at the cars to represent my blood.

I know the mirror on my bike might make me look like a dork, but I really like having it there. Nice to be able to see if any cars are approaching. I will usually slow down a bit and let them pass me and then I can take the lane.

I tried the mirror that attaches to eye glasses, you know the ones the cool road cyclist wear, but it was too irritating and distracting. So the mirror on my bike stays.

It is nice to have the rain, but I am ready for the spring weather to arrive. I’m planning on having a great spring and summer time of bike riding.

Nothing is better than an after work ride on the Brompton to Keller’s Beach. Had a nice nap too. Listening to the waves will do that to me.

Got my Brompton C-Bag. It is kind of big, but that is okay. I can fit some snacks in the bag and never know when I might want to do some shopping.

An must have for my bike ride is a book. Never know when the perfect spot might come up to do some reading.

This winter has been a bust. The positive is I got some great bike riding in, but I think this is going to be a hot summer. Not a fan riding in the heat so it will be early morning rides.

I like going to Sausilito, but driving through town I am always tense. I’m always glad to get out of there. but bike riding through town is the best.

I just brought the Brompton in for the first 100 mile check up. Didn’t take long to reach 100 miles. The Brompton handles pretty good. It is a good bike for mellow rides and it is great having it in the trunk of the car. It is nice to go on rides after work. Park at the BART station and go for a ride.

Can’t wait to take the Brompton to San Francisco and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin County. Going to be great to come back to San Francisco on the Ferry and hop on BART and not have to worry about commute times or crowded trains. Fold it up and take it on board.

My Top 10 for the Minute:

1. Suzy’s Gone-Kiddo

2. Word Up-Cameo

7. The Walk-Mayer Hawthorne

8. Fade Into You-Mazzy Star

9. The Fire Down Below-Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

10. Feel The Fire-Peabo Bryson

have come to the conclusion that I cannot go on a bike ride with anyone. Seems like I ride too slow for some and too fast for others. I don’t usually plan my routes. I don’t usually know where I’m going until I hop on my bike and see how I feel. I like to ride a casual pace and to stop and take a picture if I see a good shot. I like to stop and rest at a place that I think is a great rest spot, who knows how long I might stay. Sometimes a bike ride turns into a short ride. My time, my way. Yeah I won’t find anyone to ride with.

I like it better when it rains when I’m at work. Rain on my days off just throws things off. I really don’t enjoy bike riding in the rain, though I might do it. Most of the times it turns into a gym day and catching up on some reading. Really hate being trapped inside. Never understood how someone could sit inside the house all day.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a bike for my moods. But that is not going to happen with limited space. If I had the money I could rent a storage shed and keep my bikes in there, but I don’t like the idea of going to the shed to exchange bikes. So my Cannondale Quick has knobbie tires that can handle road and dirt. I also have my Brompton for rides that involves BART and riding in San Francisco.
