wheelright in amsterdam 2000

new year 2000 i visited amsterdam for the first time. this is me in love. I drove a car from hamburg to a^dam after new year zwei thousand in berlin, and once i made it through the outer ring road, I realized amsterdam was a bicycle city. i feel silly now for not knowing that in advance, but it WAS my first time out of the country... I ditched the car and spent one of the first weeks of my life out of "urban" southern california and my first time ever in a true bicycle culture. I would never be the same.

i cry for a car free life. i live without a car, but i ride with cars, and every time i am on the road there is tension. biking in san francisco is a functional contrast of relaxation and stress, more lovely than not, but there is better. there is bike culture. give me bike culture(not counterculture), give me bicycle(mobility)asylum now. please.

xmas and new year

This may be a bit abstract, but nothing seems to sum up the holiday season for me more than this shot from Shanghai, a KFC delivery bicycle.  Bienvenido DoS Milonce, te espero.

I don't really know snow, but i love the idea of bikes in snow. calm, crisp, bright, quiet, riding in snow. Here are two fave photos from Flat Black 66 and Amsterdamize.

Patron Saint of Tourists- Mr. Narinder Singh

When in Chandigar please do visit the wonderful Mr. Narinder Singh. This man got me a bike and rode me around the city, out of the kindness of his heart. Bless you Mr. Narinder Singh.
Narinder takes me for the best samosas in town.
