Life is my adventure. This is my life. When I took on this project, to build and maintain 4 bicycle generators for the pleasant revolution tour, I took it on as a way of life. To travel and live off my bike. I love the Ginger Ninjas. They have made this possible. So I am […]

During our visit to the Sayulita area (north of Puerto Vallarta), we explored the “pleasant” side of the Pleasant Revolution. As in “really, really pleasant.” After a few days of rocking the Sayulita town square (after Eco used the force to sway the power-tripping bureaucrats to let us play) and a two-night set at “a […]

this afternoon we head to La Bufadora to stay in the house of one Kipchoge’s old teachers.  Tomorrow we might check out some nearby hot springs, and then come […]

A new report compares the environmental impact of shipping things in different packaging styles. Turns out that overall weight and volume are generally more important considerations than material choice. The overall winner seems to be lightweight bag, if it’ll hold your stuff.

We’ve been trying to figure out how to ship our WideLoaders for years. Their […]

If you’ve stuck out your thumb in America recently, you realize people are really freakin scared (or just completely selfish). It’s hard to get a ride, even when you don’t look like a complete freak (not that I’m an expert on not looking like a freak). It’s a bummer that it’s such a hard way […]

No word on how they sell them, though ebay is a good guess. I love used bikes! Cool that people are creating a simple market for it.

I’m a thrift store dresser through and through and believe secondhand wool to be the styliest, comfiest bargain in winter ready-to-wear fashion today. So I suprised myself a bit by getting some pants from the manufacturer instead of Sally. Damn! I scored the best pair of wool cycling, skiing, walking, woodchopping, dishwashing, sleeping, mechanicing, stargazing, […]

Have you ever thought that your excess homestuff would be not just needed, but URGENTLY NEEDED by someone just a UPS jaunt away? Spring is nearly upon us; no time like the present to begin the year’s decumulatory gesturing. Now hear this from the Bayou.
These are extremely urgent needs:

In the spirit of decumulation, dematerialization, and just generally getting out from underneath the heap of crap that seems to fall endlessly from the heavens (help us), I imagine a post-shampoo existence. Those that know me and my hair well might imagine that I have already imagined just such an existence. And in truth, I […]
