By Jen I’m super-excited for Babes in Bikeland this weekend! It’s not quite the only thing I talk about, but it’s certainly on my mind. I’m pretty lucky that my roommate is racing too. So what am I bringing to the race with me? This post on what to bring Continue Reading →
By Jen I haven’t been blogging much recently, and haven’t been biking as much as I want to, due to non-bike obligations. Sometime it feels like I’m in an inertial state, and right now this body at rest has stayed at rest. So back on the blog wagon, although be Continue Reading →

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 stop to look South off the Greenway. See the lights and bustle of Lake Street, but it’s silent here, two blocks so far away. Over Sabo there’s no wind. A smooth climb propelled over the city like this sailboat-bridge. Not many riders, fifty-five degrees. Few people to Continue Reading →

By Jen So who comes to Grease Rag? You’ve put your fear in your pocket for the night–who should you expect to meet the first time you come to Grease Rag? We are an eclectic group of women/trans/femme (WTF) bicycle enthusiasts. We don’t go in for boxes or labels, but Continue Reading →
By Jen First off, a reminder that we have a fantastic brrrunch coming up tomorrow. There will be waffles! And vegan pancakes! I love riding with other people, but the bulk of my riding is done alone. (But is one really ever alone with a bicycle? Or a rubber ducky?) Continue Reading →
