Riding In A Two Wheeled World…
Here is the feel-good story of the month. Writer Tom Hallberg of the Jackson Hole News & Guide reports on the activity of Cycling Without Age in Jackson, Wyoming. Cycling Without Age pairs pilots (who volunteer their time and leg muscles) with older residents (sometimes shut-ins) for trishaw rides around their community. These folks may […]
The 2022 MotoGP weekend schedule at the Circuit of the Americas didn’t leave me a lot of free time but I had heard of a motorcycle museum in Burnet, Texas, that displayed an eclectic mix of drool-worthy motorcycles. I’d miss some of the MotoGP practice sessions on Friday but decided it was worth the risk […]
I fell into a deep rabbit hole while searching for black-and-white motorcycle race images on Google Images and then one shot stopped me cold. It is a pan shot of two racers in wind-cheating tucks, hauling down a dirt track at speeds that must be approaching 35 miles per hour. You see, these competitors are […]
Received a “call to action” request from electric-motorized bicycle company Super73 and the trade organization, PeopleForBikes. Both want me to encourage the National Park Service (NPS) to adopt new regulations that would allow electric-motorized bicycles access to roads and trails managed by the NPS that are currently designated for non-motorized users. It is not surprising […]
The one-page document from Interior Secretary David Bernhardt (Order Number 3376) did far more than redefine non-motorized recreation. The Order revealed a seismic shift in how the Department of The Interior views its responsibility in overseeing public lands. Conservation and stewardship are replaced with a new mandate to exploit public lands to the fullest. And […]
We all carry a satellite communicator device when we ride into the backcountry (you do carry a satellite communicator, don’t you?). They are the only way to send a message when you ride out of cell service range and are also a great way for friends to keep track of your location. But the main […]
Way back in January of 2019, I begged Elon Musk to pitch urban planners on using The Boring Company to build a network of bike tunnels in their communities. I don’t know if he ever saw the post, but somebody in Norway might have. CNN is reporting that Norway just opened a 1.8-mile cycling and […]
The first Trailblazers Banquet took place in 1940 (a few years before I was born) so I can’t claim that the 2023 event was the best ever. I can say without a doubt that the April 1st event was one for the record books. There are a lot of reasons why. The Trailblazers Banquet, the […]
Calculating the top (most-clicked-on) stories of 2021 is fraught with technical difficulties. Stories posted early in the year have a marked advantage over a story posted in December. Stories that are “Updates” include tag-along readers from the original story (so I haven’t counted them unless the original story appeared in 2021). Finally, web browsers are […]
Anyone who knows me knows I’m firmly in the Converse camp when it comes to high-top sneakers. But when I saw these beautiful Vans SE Racing P.K. Ripper shoes, I had to break ranks and sneak them in with my Converse collection. I met Scot Breithaupt, founder of SE Racing, while working for Bell Helmets […]
