About this blog

I had this vague sense that I shouldn't be wearing my car to the grocery.
It was close enough to walk, and I was often buying less than my backpack
would carry.

Not being able to think of alternatives at the time, I wore my car.
It kept me dry and protected me from extreme temperatures while I was outside.

Unfortunately, weather protection was the only reason to use my car on some of
these quick trips.

Years later, I've learned what else I can wear to get to the store in all
kinds of weather. Somewhere along the way I got rid of my car altogether.

Here are some stories and tips from using a bike for transportation.

Note that I experience the weather and bike culture as it happens in Richmond, Indiana, USA. Your Mileage May Vary.

Some bike resources specific to this area include:

• BikeRichmond.org - a local group focused on bikes as transportation
• Bicycles pages on ProgressiveWayneCounty.org
