Blog III: Wrapping up Indonesia The kids are alright There are a lot of things to wonder about these days. I got into a political discussion a few times, not surprisingly, with two different guys from Washington, DC. The first two days in Indonesia I had a persistent sore throat and actively worked at my denial of the pea soup smog they have here and what the means in a greater sense. [ 2,212 more words ]

Seoul for Bikes When you ride a city for a few days, you start to feel it in your pores. You learn how to deal with certain things. You hear it talk to you, give you direction. I was very interested in Seoul’s bike infrastructure because when I was last there riding my bike around, I remember being very impressed at how fast it seemed to be implemented and how ingenious much of it was.

I saw this guy in Montreal in 2017 at the messenger world championships. He looked Asian, but not Japanese. When I had been a courier, the only couriers that came from Asia for the worlds were the Japanese and the Australians. Ever since I’d been keeping a stat sheet on where couriers were from, from the time that I had helped organize world championships in the states, I was always curious to find out the new countries where courier companies were sprouting up.

The evolution of self-propulsion has levels. It has textures and different states of mind. If you are looking for a bike ride that will instill confidence, stoicism, camaraderie and some problem solving abilities in your kid, you need to put them on Teen Treks. I didn’t ever ride on Teen Treks, but I can tell you with complete confidence, that riding a bike, and riding it far put something in me that teachers, parents, friends and family had been trying to put in me since I was a little kid.

It was a little embarrassing. It was the Wednesday night dinner at my friends’ house. It was a group messenger dinner in SF and there were about 15 of us. It was off to a great start. While we waited for our host of the week to cook us dinner, someone put a tape of “Quicksilver” into the VCR. We were full of anticipation, a bunch of as****es preparing to rip the regrettably first in a line of stupid movies about messengers. [ 5,115 more words ]

Cathy is the pioneer of bike shorts. She became smitten with cycling when she was 10 years old while riding with the Girl Scouts. Her whole life has been a love affair with bikes. The journey and the millions of miles she's spent in the saddle led her creative mind to look for a solution for a perennial problem. Riding hurts. [ 1,989 more word ]

Bike racing is hard. I tried it. Wasn’t particularly good at it. To get into the top echelons, you have to dedicate yourself to riding about 500 miles per week, if we’re really being serious about it. I’ve done a lot of sports, they’re all hard, that’s the point. That’s why you practice and train, to get the competitive edge, both in endurance, stamina and quickness, but also getting fluent in the language of that sport. [ 3,789 more words ]
