By Charlotte Introducing the Solidago Riders! a group of five amazing women biking around the Great Lakes to raise money and awareness about environmental activism.

I have a serious soft spot for amateur coordinated dance numbers (ala flashmob!), WTF bike gangs, and the King of Pop. This movie has all of those things. Watch it and get pumped! The movie features the Pedal Pusher Society: “Milwaukee’s premier women and trans bike gang.” Awesome. I hope you recognize one of Continue Reading →
By Jen I recently came across another awesome WTF bike blog. Sam writes at Brown Girl in the Lane from her car-free life in San Diego. She recently mentioned her miles per burrito stats–clearly the best way to think about fueling your ride–and a ride in Tijuana, Mexico with Paseo de Continue Reading →

By Jen Yesterday was the first (calendar) day of spring, so I suppose this is as good a time as any to recap my winter riding experience, no matter what the weather throws at us. This was my first winter commuting in Minnesota and the first winter here that I Continue Reading →
