I’ll keep the text short and sweet. I’ve made another real-time ride video for the few of you that enjoy them. This time, I am making my first trip to Target by bike for curbside grocery pickup. Once again, Carmel is proving to be a simple and safe place to navigate by bike. Enjoy!
Slow Tv – Bike to a Big Box Store?
Many of us automatically default to the car when considering how we’ll commute to a large chain store, typically found on the edges or outskirts of town, due to the fact that they’re often fed by interstates, highways, and other over-built types of roads. Sure, we’ve seen how they do it in more properly planned…
Slow Tv – A Winter Cycling Ride to Perennial Cycle in Minneapolis Minnesota
Taking advantage of my last winter living here in Minnesota, I figured I had better get out and make some more real-time rides around the area. I still have some key places that I want to go and make videos. Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake Harriet in Minneapolis are next on…
A Few Bike Features
The other day, I made a very short video to show some of the features about my bike that make for easier winter riding. To be honest, most of these features extend way beyond just winter. They help cut down on bike maintenance in all sorts of weather. The pogies, which I put on in…
First Snow Ride of 2020
Back on December 23rd, we got a nice Category 4 blizzard here in Minnesota. This helped set the stage for my first winter ride of the 2020/21 season. I opted to wait a few days for the temperature to reach a balmy -5 degrees and headed out this afternoon. For the first time ever, I…
Yet Another Grocery Run
I’ve had a few posts now about getting groceries, but that is for good reason. Going to the grocery store is something all of us have in common and I feel it’s a good place to shine the spotlight on incorporating the bicycle into your life in a utilitarian fashion. To be even more specific,…
A Time Warp Ride to the Wine Store
I’m a big proponent of sharing pictures and video with friends, family, and like-minded people online. It’s one of the good things about technology, in my opinion. The ability to share a view from one part of the world with someone who is in another part of the world fascinates me. So, lets get right…
A Ride Around Lake of the Isles
There’s nothing in this post directly relating to Dutch Cycling or a review of infrastructure. It’s simply a short write-up and posting of a video I made today while riding around one of my favorite lake bike paths in the area. One very enjoyable thing about living in the Minneapolis region is having a trail…
Finding Your Motivation
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here. How do I keep a blog running that has a main focus on Dutch cycling when I don’t have the privilege of living in the Netherlands? How do I keep topics interesting without wasting people’s time who dare click on a link to read it? This…
Dutch Inspired Cycling For Groceries
If you go to any grocery store in the Netherlands, one of the first things you will see out front is bicycles parked. They dont have large car parking lots eating up land in front of the stores in the way that North American cities do. The Dutch, for the most part, cycle for their…
