Cycling to Work: May 2007
http://cyclingtowork.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
A journal of daily travels by bike. Saturday, May 5, 2007. WILLAMETTE RIVER BIKE PATH. There is also the sound of the river as it moves north through the city. The occasional rapids change both the color and the sound. I pass a lot of bikers, joggers, walkers and people just sitting and enjoying the river and its environs. It's nice to greet these people as I ride by. The mostly deciduous trees change from bare to green to yellow through the year. Before I leave the path I cross the river at the Owasso.

Cycling to Work: March 2007
http://cyclingtowork.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
A journal of daily travels by bike. Tuesday, March 27, 2007. STREET PAINT AS SPEED BUMPS. Bumpy when riding over it. "BIKE LANE" thumpity. Thump-thump-thump. Maybe the city repaints it because the paint gets dirty, not because it is wearing off. I've also noticed paint that is chipping away from the 1/8" thick strips. At first I thought it was glass; but the small white chips were just chunks of paint. That is kicked to the side of the road by car traffic. So riding on the strip helps me avoid this.

Cycling to Work: August 2007
http://cyclingtowork.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
A journal of daily travels by bike. Friday, August 17, 2007. TRYING TO BEE SAFE. About two weeks ago I was riding my bike home from work when a yellow jacket smacked into by glasses and dropped down onto my bare arm below my shirt sleeve. Panicked, I swatted at the bee with my free hand but didn't knock him off. That, apparently, ticked him off so he jammed his stinger into me and buzzed off. Oof! Flash forward two weeks and I'm out for a ride one afternoon and SMACK! 1 Don't wear bright colored clothing.

Cycling to Work: AFTER 32 YEARS, A NEW BICYCLE
http://cyclingtowork.blogspot.com/2008/11/after-32-years-new-bicycle.html
A journal of daily travels by bike. Saturday, November 29, 2008. AFTER 32 YEARS, A NEW BICYCLE. So I began looking for a replacement bike that gave me an upright posture by reading on the Internet and prowling around our local bike shops in Eugene. So let's cut to the chase: After riding a 20" wheel folding bike from Dahon of Southern California, I was hooked. It felt like riding a combination of bike, unicycle and roller blades.

Cycling to Work: PSSSST! YOU'VE GOT A FLAT TIRE
http://cyclingtowork.blogspot.com/2007/08/psssst-youve-got-flat-tire.html
A journal of daily travels by bike. Saturday, August 11, 2007. YOU'VE GOT A FLAT TIRE. Riding home from the Bethel. I figured I'd have to pull it out, but I was in a nice shady, safe spot to repair the flat. I gently edged out the staple and the tire went " pssssst. Then stopped. Hmm. The tire still felt well inflated. I must have been light-headed as I actually thought I might have some special tire or tube that was self-sealing. So I pushed out into the bike lane and headed home. I pulled the wheel off...
