    This is my column for the December issue of "Wheel Issues", the Red Dirt Pedalers newsletter.

    To my considerable annoyance, I somehow ended up on a mailing list for men's bicycling 'apparel.' This is not mere clothing. No, no, it's called apparel because the word 'clothing' is too plebeian. [...]

    Number of comments: 3
    OK, OK, I'm easily distracted by shiny objects, fire trucks, and computer gizmos. But I like this new Blogger feature! I just posted a piece to CycleDog after saving it as a draft over the weekend. Rather than show it as being posted two days ago, I changed the date' [...]

    Dear Dr. Wally

    What are the proper libations to serve after a cold winter ride? One of my friends said the traditional Italian drink is something called grappa, but I've never hear of it before. Is he pulling my leg?

    Lyndsay contemplates cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
    (Canon Canonet GIII Q17, exposure unrecorded)

    I was up at 4:30, not for shopping, but to make coffee and see my daughter off to work. She's lucky enough to have a hospital job that doesn't require nights, weekends, and holidays,' [...]

  • Thanksgiving morning

    Number of comments: 1
    My usual workday starts at 4:30AM, but today I was able to sleep in until after the sun came up. What luxury!

    As I write this, it's still early. The house is quiet. Mary and the kids are asleep. I'm in the living room, sipping at a cup of' [...]

  • Canon Canonet GIII Q17

    Number of comments: 3

    I've been playing with this Canonet for awhile now. I'm impressed by the sharpness and contrast of its 40 mm lens. These photos were taken with an ISO 200 film in heavy overcast at the Ronde Van Oakkenberg cyclocross event a couple of weeks ago. [...]

  • And now, a word from our Wally

    Number of comments: 5
    Some of you may remember the Crank Index piece from a couple of months ago. In it, I proposed an index consisting of the following points, to be used whenever we encounter anti-cyclist comments in blogs, newspaper articles, web forums, and the like. Here are all eleven:

    From Wired.com.

    Toe straps for those of you who simply cannot leave your bike for any reason...perhaps because your leash is far too short. You know who you are.

    Honestly, this looks more like S&M stuff rather than bike stuff. So far, the [...]

    "I don't use my brain anymore. I have technology for that."...overheard in a restaurant yesterday.

    It started off as a nice day. Wade and I had coffee and solved the world's problems from our regular seats in the coffee shop. I stopped at the drugstore and bought some 35mm [...]

    In honor of those men and women who gave so much in order that we may spend our time complaining about the government, taxes, traffic congestion, crappy cellphone service and other ephemera.

    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark [...]

    Ronde Van Oakkenberg

    First up, a reminder about this upcoming cyclocross event. For a taste of the excitement, take a look at Elisa's post on the BikeSkirt blog. She attended her first ever cyclocross race and is now well hooked.

    ...as opposed to comedy, which only works when it feels like it.

    Yesterday, Lyndsay said she wanted to go to Woodward Park in Tulsa. Our kids referred to it as 'squirrel park' since they were small, because we went there with peanuts for [...]

    I was indulging one of my two talents - staring vacantly into space, the other one being annoying my wife - when Wally plopped down on his usual bar stool. "I'm worried about this whole Mayan calender thing," he began. "I was just talking with Larry and he says that'" [...]

    This is my regular column for the Red Dirt Pedalers newsletter.

    November is coming. The weather will be turning worse and there will be days we're stuck in the house. I'm not a sports fanatic, but I do loves me some old movies.

    This is Wally's November column from the Red Dirt Pedaler's newsletter.


    Dear Dr. Crankset

    What is cyclocross racing? There's talk of it growing in popularity but I've never heard of it until recently. What gives?

    Newbie in Nowata


    Dear Newb,

  • Tulsa Cyclocross piece

    Number of comments: 3
    I just posted the Tulsa cyclocross piece to the Examiner. This is the Ronde Van Oakkenberg, possibly the forerunner of an annual multi day event. It sounds great. Since I've ridden in cyclocross races, I have a small appreciation of the difficulty. But even if you've never raced, cyclocross is [...]
