Trinity Bicycles Hosting New Art!

I went downtown with my favorite artist (my bride) and helped her hang some of her artworks in Trinity Bicycles  in preparation for the Near Southside Arts Goggle. My wife who has painted for most of her days on this Earth has only recently decided to try to make a profession of her talents. I am all for the idea in that it fits in perfectly with one of my own "rules for a fulfilling life" (rule:12 Always work toward bettering yourself by: developing and discovering your talents.) The old sawyer grocery store building in which Trinity bicycles has opened lends itself very well to the presentation of art work. During the day there is plenty of natural light and the high ceilings lend a true gallery feel.

My Brain Wanders While My Legs Spin

The ride this evening to the farmers market was pleasant, allowing me time to reflect on the sounds of my American suburbia.
Have you ever noticed how the internal combustion engine sounds angry? The agressive throaty growl of a sports car or the steady rumble of a semi truck, they still sound angry. I wonder if all these sounds effect our attitudes. I hope i wont let it effect mine. END ROAD RAGE!

New Light for the UTE! Yessss!

Rover

Dual Cross Pro

My old trusty Cygolight Rover though a pretty bright light, it was very heavy system. Also after several years of use the NMIH battery isn't what it used to be. It doesn't hold the charge quite as long or burn quite as bright as it used to. It still works but it is getting toward the end of its lifespan. So enter the new light  the Cygolight Dual Cross Pro Led Li-on this light is a huge step up from my old light. not only is the light smaller , the battery is much smaller and lighter too. Where this light excels is in the amount of brightness they get from L.E.D's. It seems unreal how a light so small can put out so much light. I think I made a good buy...especially when it was on sale!

Trinity Parks new Unimproved Sidewalk!

These new fences are total crap...whoever designed them didn't intend for people to bring a bike through them... ARRGH!

Wet Seat...and everything else!

I think i might need to get a cover for my bike...the dew took way too long to dry off after getting off work this morning.

Dinner! Yuk or Yeah?

Indian food Yum? It looks like baby poop but tastes good!

Kona Ute Electric?

This is a repost from commutebybike.com. I totally got excited when I saw the Pictures!

Kona Bikes Goes Electric

by Bike Shop Girl

Recently on Kona Bikes Facebook, and their Newsletter, Kona has released snippets into their newest lineup – Electric Bikes. Following close behind Trek’s Ride+ Bikes, Kona is quick on their heels with a new spin on their well received cargo bike, the Ute.

Three Models

There are three models in this new Electric line : Ticket, Token and Electric Ute.  The Ticket and Token are respectably, standard and step through models of the same bike.  The Electric Ute has a larger battery to allow you to haul on your cargo electric bike.

The most remarkable thing, we should see these bikes within the next few months.  Kona completely kept the secret on these bikes.
