Just a quick shot that I caught today.

I went for a walk to the hardware store yesterday. I didn’t ride my bike because it had just snowed and I was thinking about the ice and salt in the roads. I was curious if other folks had cycled that day, so I took my camera. My first subject was an old Raleigh leaning against Rosemont Market. It wasn’t that different from all the other Raleighs I see around Portland, until the owner came out.

This is Cynthia. She’s in her 80′s, was in the Peace Corps and used to work in Kenya. She was riding her bike that day, which is something she has enjoyed since she was 8. Needless to say, I was impressed and found myself fortunate to bump into her. It’s always good to get a reminder of the importance of enjoying life to it’s very fullest.

I’ve developed a strange habit of filling up my shirt pocket with nuts before leaving the house.

When Ashlinn and I were in New York, we stopped by the Brooklyn Art Library, home of the Sketchbook Project. Not only did we get to see Ashlinn’s sister’s book, but I also picked up this gem of a postcard from my hometown. Pile of wood.

HOT DAMN!

I’ve been following Alex Wetmore’s blog for a while now. He seems to be quite the skilled framebuilder, and that is clear in his newest post. The “adventure touring bike” is a filet brazed frame with S&S couplers and a killer fork crown.

More images can be seen on his blog and his smugmug. This post is deep into the Want category.

I just got to my parents house last night and found out my dad is building a shanty town in his garage. I’m not sure if he plans on living in there, but at least it’s well ventilated.

Ash and I stopped into NY for a brief moment and got to see our friend Virginia and got to eat at Le Barricou. I recommend the risotto.

SkyLab understands the importance of proper calibration.

I need a pair of these.
