Approval Granted!

I now officially have the permission from the building manager at work to take my Brompton into work, to my office. While it didn't take too much work, it is a good outcome. A small victory!

Hope you're having fun!

Great Atlanta Bicycle Parade

I have been busy for a week or so. Visited family and friends last weekend, so not much riding. Next event I am looking forward to the Great Atlanta Bicycle Parade, May 19th, 2013.

Will you be there?

Peace :)

2013 Great Atlanta Bicycle Expedition

Since I used Brahma to participate in the 2013 Great Atlanta Bicycle Expedition, I posted about it on my iBrompton blog. Please click on the image below to read all about the ride.

Lim n->(1/0) {T+n}

I have been living in Atlanta, Georgia, for the past week or so. My last post was at time point t-5. We have come a long way since then.

I came to Atlanta in the peak of the allergy season - if you are allergy prone, tough stuff. However, everything is so verdant and pretty. It is not humid (yet).

I see lots of big, green, live trees. Lots and lots of them.

I brought Brahma with me, but I haven't ridden yet. Yes, guilty as charged, but it is a big city and I haven't gotten my bearings down yet. Not to worry though; plan to ride over the weekend and keep going from then on.

I have enjoyed walking roughly 4 miles to work and other places, since last Saturday. My feet protested a bit, initially, but they are both game now.

Hope all is well in your world!

Peace :)

PS. The Chevy came on a big truck today. May be time to go to the levee and ...

T-5

I am on the verge of a new beginning. It will be begin this Friday.
More to come once I am in my new digs.

Be well and take good care. I hope to talk to y'all real soon.

Peace :)

Deep Reflections

I have been slow on the commuting, as I have been busy running errands during the course of the day. I have also had the pleasure of traveling to a couple of new places; not on business and I would not categorize these as "pleasure" either.

But, on the bright side, I have had quite a few opportunities to ride my fat-tire bike along some trails in Irving. The beauty of a fat tire bike, combined with a slow ride, is that you get to reflect on a lot of things.

Reflections, whether or not the skies are azure, are definitely a fun way to spend time. Who wouldn't want to ride the bike and think of a whole bunch of fun things, right?

Re-purposing an old friend

I stopped using my Road ID, a couple of years ago, as I simply did not want to wear anything on my body. I always carry some form of idenitfication on me, such as my Driver's License.Now, that I don't use the Road ID, I decided I will re-purpose the wrist-band. Of course, it was cycling related.

Kickstand for the Thorn

Since buying the Thorn Nomad, I didn't put a kickstand. As long as i was willing to use the Click-Stand or was willing to lean it against a wall or a tree or a fence, parking the bike was no biggie.

However, if i had my cargo trailer attached to the Thorn, it wasn't always easy parking the bike, by leaning it against a stationary object. For instance, it was always tricky loading the trailer without the bike falling.


So, after lunch contemplation, I put an Esge center kickstand on the Thorn Nomad.

Since then shopping has been a breeze on the Thorn with the trailer attached.

Now, I need to find a way to pay for "all" the shopping I do!

Picture Perfect

Finally managed to frame the two postcard versions of the posters, which I bought at the Posters of Paris exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art.

Now, I have find a nice spot for these two framed pieces of art in the CMA (Chandra Museum of Art) :)

Peace :)
