Our son Ryan sent me a video this week about a very interesting bicycle storage technique being used by the Japanese. You’ll have to let me ramble for a while before you see it (or skip ahead a bit). In my little world, bicycle storage is a matter of waiting until the first...

Yesterday I blogged about the cycling antics of some Montrealers. I am actually very impressed by their bravado, bravery, spunk, skill, etc…. This morning I awoke to even more snow. I wondered if I would still see cyclists out there. After all, the weather was so bad I had to...
