#OnThisDay, 24 Aug 1896, an unknown woman cyclist has a beer at the bar in New Jersey - making headlines in the New York Times.
Chapeau!

Another day going up blue hills…
And I raced with the Mattapan Trolley on the Neponset trail! It was just leaving the station, so I lighted it up! The operator saw me too and said hi (by ringing the bell) and waved at me! And I did win the race because the trolley had to stop at the next station 😂
I don’t think a Thursday could get better than this 😛

Another day riding up Blue Hills summit… the clouds were just teasing me like “you have no idea whether you’ll get wet or not so you’d better spin those legs to get home faster”. So I did.

Pls boost!
I have been without anything accessible to ride for transportation since early this year. I am disabled & cannot walk far. Cycling hurts less & helps me go much farther, plus it gives me transportation independence!
You can help by buying my music TODAY #BandcampFriday, when Bandcamp waives its usual % on every sale I make.
It's my bday this month & being able to ride again would be 🥳

New bike day! Introducing Wilier Filante SLR limited edition! Hand painted by Lumar Colors based out of Venice, Italy. All major components sourced by bike-room based out of Milan. What a stunner!
I finally own a top range race bike, with the top range groupset (SRAM Red) and lightweight everything. Carbon fiber integrated handlebar, carbon fiber 3D printed saddle, carbon seatpost and zipp 454 NSW wheelset.
The end result is amazing: it weighs 7.2kg which is 1.6kg lighter than my Pinarello Prince, which is also a carbon frame bike. And it's more aero!
And it cost at least $2000 less than sourcing and building it here in the US. The catch is: FedEx hasn't billed me the tariff yet...

8 inches/20cm of heavy wet snow has blown in 3 days after the ski mountain closed for the year. The drifts were well over a foot deep in some places and I had do a bit of “fatbike cyclocross” to get to town.

Ptown - PB ride
PB’s location is so perfect that it’s about 25 miles from Ptown on a bike ride with plenty of hills and amazing ocean views, and provides great energy supply for cyclists (aka coffee and delicious French pastry) so we can ride back to Ptown without bonking 🤣 Beaches are literally a few pedals away.
After a bit over 1000 ft ascending you’ll probably feel a bit tired and the fatigue in legs are getting you and boom a great French bakery is right in front of you. What more can you ask for? 😋
I’ve done this route so many times and still want to do it over and over again. Hardly any automobiles on the back roads in Truro and Wellfleet. And plenty of friendly attention on commercial st in Ptown 🤣

Last night of September

First big group ride this year with local cycling group Charles River Wheelers (CRW).
Rode through some very wealthy suburban towns (Dover is the wealthiest town in Massachusetts with median household income of $250k+)
Very fast paced group. Started with the 2nd group (15-16mph pace) but caught the first group (17-18mph pace) shortly after. I stayed with the first group and average speed of this ride is 17.9mph!

Whenever I'm #cycling through a field of cows, I'll try and record what happens, y'know, just in case a coroner needs it later on. They were a bit frisky this evening. And yes, "oi … oi" is how one speaks bovine. 😬
Set an alarm and got up early to go out for a ride, enjoying one of the last warm nice days in Boston this year. And I was rewarded with this beautiful vibrant red maple along Neponset river in the morning glow! That almost made the suffering climbing up Blue Hill TWICE less sufferable...

riding bikes every day until I can’t for some reason, day 1881
I don’t own a car and I ride my bike a lot, often on very busy city streets. I always wear a helmet when I ride — not because it makes me less likely to get hit by a car, but because it makes me less likely to suffer from brain damage if and when I do get hit by a car.
However, as Dave Walker (@davewalker) points out, there are MANY other and much better ways to make cycling safer for everyone. 🚲
