Read More It’s 2023 and I’m blogging like it’s the 2000sOh Workcycles kr8, you need some attention. No longer used as a daily kid hauler, you have been parked for a very very long time. Step 1 is diagnosing a front flat tire. I tried inflating the tire but could not get any air in. I pulled out the dunlop valve mechanism and was able […]
Read More Cargobike maintenanceNot Brompton-ing for a daily commute but still bring it along for fun rides. This particular one coincided with a trip to pick up some fresh straw.
Read More City bike on a farm truckWe’ve had a streak of rainy days here; it was finally sunny yesterday but I was behind on farm chores, and hadn’t made plans for a ride. For some reason I thought I had another week. Luckily I double checked the rules and found out that tomorrow is the last day of Coffeeneuring season! The […]
Read More Coffeeneuring Ride 7: Cold ride with kidsIn contrast to ride 5, ride 6 puts me back in the city for a ride that is overdue in many ways. I’ve been in and around Portland on visits since 2005 when we lived hundreds of miles away. Nowadays I’m much closer but due to covid I think this year has been the longest […]
Read More I 🚲 Portland (Ride 6)Zaiserama has a farm…and on this farm there’s lots of hills: My former bike rides in and and around San Jose didn’t have a lot of hills.

Read More Farm trail Coffeeneuring Without Walls (Ride 5)After a bit of a wait, I finally got a hilly bike all set up for rides around my hilly farm and hilly region. I did a couple very short shakedown runs but today was my first ride out on the road, so of course I had to get coffee. The basket cried out for […]
Read More Coffeeneuring 2020 Ride 4I was itching to get outside for something fun after a day of farm chores on Saturday. A rainy night transitioned to a mix of clouds and rain on Sunday and I saw our local taproom had a stout on tap. Oppportunity and motive coincided: I grabbed my little bike and headed out on a […]
Read More Coffeeneuring 2020: Ride 3It’s a long, long, story but I needed to be in Ilwaco WA for an appointment Tuesday afternoon. Initial forecast was rain and “very windy” but the storm moved through in the morning so so missed out on the 30 mph winds with higher gusts. I tossed the brompton and some rain gear in the […]
Read More Cape Disappointment: 2020 Coffeeneuring Ride 2First time coffeeneuring outside of the city, and still getting used to riding on quiet country roads. Have done some rides here and there and on the trail with the kids, but otherwise haven’t been riding generally since I haven’t had a daily commute. On top of everything else have been nursing a twisted ankle […]
