Maybe biking 102 miles in 5 days in cold, grey and at times very windy conditions with my, Sophie’s and backpack weights combined, not lubricating the chain since the rain until Wednesday at Yellow Bike Project, a rear disc brake caliper that was rubbing on the rotor and slowing me down til Brandon figured it out at Sun & Ski Sports last night, plus being low on sleep and other stuff has something to do with being very tired. Nah, those are excuses. I think the reason is …

Working 12 to 14 hour a day don’t help when I need to write this blog post so I do miss a lot of things that I should be writing about, but I cannot pass this up.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Central Texas 7-year-old is forgoing gifts for himself for his birthday and instead asking people to donate bikes for kids in need this holiday season.

This is getting almost biblical. First, there were the bikes and the bikes populated the downtown in great numbers. And the bikes begat the scooters. And from the scooters shall come the electric bikes. It’s almost mystical the ways these things appear and disappear. But if we look at what’s really happening in Dallas, it’s less a creation story than one of evolution. Dallas is rapidly testing and shifting the way we might get around in the future. And despite the …

Eduardo was born with a mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that occurs when your cells’ mitochondria—the energy factory of your cells—don’t produce enough power for your body to function properly. The effects of mitochondrial diseases are different depending on the person and which organs are affected, though the usual …
