Ride with Me to Work

Filed under: Adventure — Tags: , , , , — Neil @ 9:06 am

So I was running a little late for work and as I was leaving the house I had a brilliant idea…which made me even more late for work. Pulling out the old video camera, I thought to my self, “wouldn’t it be cool to tape this camera to my bike helmet and film my ride to work?” “Of course it would be cool,” I thought, “Neil you are a genius, this is your coolest idea yet, even better than man cheese.” However when I got home I realized no one was going to sit through 16 minutes of my bike ride (including my self) so I sped it up 500% and added some great music. So, here it is. Sit back and enjoy the show (if you get motion sickness you’ve been warned).

My Rumparts are Under Attack

Filed under: Day to Day — Tags: , , , , — Neil @ 1:42 pm

I purchased a new Specialized bike last weekend so I could commute to work and free up the car for Kate. I also like to bike so that helped me make the decision. Unfortunatly the first few weeks of long distance biking can take toll on your body while you adjust to the physical demands of biking. Lets just say that at this point in my life I prefer to stand. Biking to work is loads of fun and is going to save us a lot of money. I just wished my rump would adjust sooner than later; my heart, lungs, and legs as well, for that matter. A photo of my new bike and me to come.
