went on a great bike ride to Iona beach yesterday. i got together with some friends from the local fixed-gear bike email list, and we decided that riding to the beach would be a great way to spend a sunny afternoon.
Iona beach is on the northwest tip of Sea Island, which is the [...]
ugh. crazy bike madness last night. I was just leaving a meeting of the fundraising committee for Vancouver Rape Relief, riding alongside my friend Grant, when suddenly there were horrible clanking noises from the back of my bike, and my pedals stopped moving. I ride a fixed-gear bike…there’s no coasting, and the [...]

I had a great time today. I went out to watch a game of street hockey that was played right in the middle of commercial drive in east vancouver. The road was shut down in both directions, except that buses were allowed through. fantastic fun. Everyone seemed to love it, and [...]
lately i’ve been attempting to do a bit more reading of political essays, and i found one that i thought was quite interesting. It’s a response to a critique of a third article, which was about porn and masculinity. One of the big things that i liked about it was that he [...]
Weeee! i went on a bike ride last night…the call went out a few days ago on our fixie list, suggesting that we head out for a ride in the evening after work. We haven’t really done that since it became dark in the evenings, but it was kinda nice. goin [...]
