A few days ago I tried to test the bicycles ( together with my son) that I conditioned from our storage. We had a fun ride that I had not done in ages. I felt that I should do more of these besides walking to make me strong and...

I miss riding my bicycle. I keep one in Florida, because it’s nice and flat there and easy to ride.
My granddaughter received a new bicycle from her parents for her birthday last Tuesday. She’s been riding a bike since she was...

Not far from where I am staying in a big city, there are places where you buy second-hand bicycles. Along the road you will see long rows of second-hand bikes. I have a plan to buy one that I can use to go around the city while...

This is actually a post that @JudyEv should be writing, since she lives in Australia. However, they showed it on our local news, here in California, and it amazed me.
It is a video of a woman peacefully riding her bicycle along...

I just learned that today, June 12, 2017, is the 200th birthday of something near and dear to my heart: the bicycle.
While this is not the time to go into it, I was taught to ride a bike by an abusive method that should have...

I read a news story in a small town newspaper that got me upset. It seems that at 1:00AM a man on a bicycle was hit by a girl driving home. It did not say if alcohol was involved with either party. The girl said that she turned...
