		<title>Wide Cycling Shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago someone anonymously subscribed me to Bicycling magazine. I don&#8217;t know if they did it as a favor or if they wanted to hear my comments on the publication. I do like some of the articles, but for the most part their magazine is not really geared for me. I would like to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Local Bike Shops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is that time of year when people start asking me about bicycle, camera, or computer related gifts for friends and relatives. When asked, I am going to suggest any gift from a local business. In this time of economic troubles I believe it is more important than ever to support our communities by shopping [...]]]></description>

		<title>Need a Bike Ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What does it say about so many Americans when they stampede stores on Black Friday? What does it say when one groups stampede killed a 38 year old man? I for one do not support or participate in this mayhem.
The New York Times is reporting: Wal-Mart Employee Trampled to Death
The shoppers broke the doors off [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dependable Weather</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The past couple of mornings have brought temperatures in the 30&#8217;s. I like it when I am heading out on to the road, just getting my cadence going, can see my breath, and feel the cold on my face.  There is  just no better way to start my day.
Fall/winter weather looks like it [...]]]></description>

		<title>UPS Hiring Bicyclists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night on the evening news there was story about UPS hiring bicyclists to make their deliveries by bike in the area. Apparently UPS is hiring 28 bike delivery employees to make deliveries during the holiday season rush.

		<title>Butts N Bicycles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Red at spokesNspin posted about cigarette butts and him admitting, &#8220;I am a butt man myself and can appreciate a nice butt.&#8221; Then later in the day I came across this video, so it just seemed appropriate to  put this video up and link to his posting, &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Like These Butts&#8221;.

I just wonder [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do You Have Skills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With enough time in the saddle, anyone can get fit enough to hammer up hills and anyone crazy enough can go extremely fast downhill. But there is not enough time in my lifetime to learn how to ride like the person in the video. And I thought BMX riders could do some serious stunts.



If I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discourse or Complaining</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When does discourse become complaining? I read a lot of web sites and blogs about bicycling, whether it be about commuting, fitness training, or recreational riding.
One of the common themes written about is bicycle infrastructure or should I say the lack of or inadequacy of this infrastructure. Many times there are comparisons of the U.S. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unexpected Turn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Three years ago today I was diagnosed with diabetes. My doctor said I had been diabetic for a long time, however I consistently rode a bike so much, it just didn’t show up until my pancreas quit producing insulin and the disease was not longer manageable by exercise alone.  He also said I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weather, Falling, and Riding Naked</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been an uneventful week starting with riding in the rain and wind, ending with sunshine and temps in the 40&#8217;s. There are leaves everywhere and pose an extreme hazard if you are not paying attention, which reminds me there are three types of bicyclists. Ones that are going to fall, those who have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bicycles and Politics</title>

Two  names keep coming up in the speculation, Senator Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Congressman Jim Oberstar (D-MN). In 2005 both are the only politicians named in League of American Bicyclists list of 25 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Riding Indoors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow!!! Gas prices have really dropped since the last time I filled my Toyota pickup. I didn&#8217;t realize how little I have been driving until I went shopping at Costco&#8217;s today and filled it up while I was there. $2.11 a gallon compared to $3.95 when I filled it last, which happened to be the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike Maintenance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So when can maintenance be considered excessive or worst yet obsessive? Last night I rode home from work in the drizzly rain, which by the way was the same thing I rode to work in. Upon arriving home instead of washing my bike down and cleaning my chain I decided to go in, shower, and [...]]]></description>

There had been on and off rain for a good part of the day, the streets where wet and covered with leaves in many spots. So I took my time, pedaled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bicycle Related Reading</title>

Friday I was home sick, but planning to feel better on Saturday. Feeling better never managed to materialize and after a short ride to the store on Saturday morning, I finally resigned myself to staying home and waiting out the crud. So much for checking out an Xtracycle at the LBS or going to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Angel Wings</title>

		<title>Sport Utility Bike</title>

I have my donor bike to use for the conversion and with a few upgrades I think it will be a great ride. However I am always open to ideas and suggestions, so today a friend sent me the YouTube [...]]]></description>

		<title>Excuses and Challenges</title>

So I rode to the farmers market, coffee shop, bookstore, and to my parents for Sunday dinner. It was a great way to spend the weekend. But what stuck with me about the weekend was what I read on A view [...]]]></description>

Never being someone who avoids hills, I like being strong on them and can only attain a certain level of performance by repeatedly attacking them. So with the weather transitioning into the rainy season this month, I have been increasing my time in the gym with more focus on my legs to increase my performance [...]]]></description>
