4 Rochester

Election Day here was a beautiful near 70 degree day, so I took the opportunity for a nice bike ride along the Genesee Riverway Trail through Genesee Valley Park. Although I have mixed feelings about graffiti, I have to admit that I love this one. I wasn’t the only one who decided to take in [...

Two of my favorite things! The latest issue of Craft magazine gives two examples of the combination…first, Natan Lawson’s mosaic covered bike…and he rides it! More pictures at his flickr set. And even better for this knitting bicyclist…a tiny knitted bicycle! Got any good craft...

We write about it often here at RocBike, but that’s because it’s such a treasure. You must get out to the Genesee Valley Greenway, if you live anywhere in western New York. These scenes are from portions of the Greenway between Rochester and Scottsvills. On a separate trip, we took Zoe, who...

A little while ago, Jody over at that which rolls wrote about biking in the Finger Lakes National Forest. Here are a few great spots in nearby Burdett for cyclists. I’ve never been here when it’s open, but it looks like a great place for service, and they had some new bikes in there as [...

As I had hoped, for the first time since her scary but fortunately quickly-recovered-from accident, my daughter Brianne got out on a bike this weekend! She said she felt like a 7-year old, but she quickly got right back into it. I’ m very proud of her!

BSNYC’s post from yesterday’s Links of the Day echoed my own feelings this week…sometimes the fact that I am only one wrong move away from a serious accident makes me pause. I remind myself that such a fact is true even when I’m not on a bike, but cycling ramps up the intensity and [...]

Back in April, I visited New York City to see my son’s orchestra perform at Lincoln Center. I took some photos of real live New York city cyclists, and here’s a sampling of what I saw. Get that person an Xtracycle (or at least some panniers!). The first beautiful day of Spring in Central...

Here’s my version of what I’d like News 10 NBC to do (yes, I’m on a bit of bike theft rant these days). Dear News 10 NBC Editors: On 18 August 2008, News 10 NBC ran a story about Mayor Robert Duffy’s “Zero Tolerance” crime policy. Part of the story featured footage of a Rochester police...

Isn’t that a beautiful bike? Here’s the story…it’s a follow up to my previous post. Tanya was driving down Plymouth Avenue in Rochester, thinking…”You know, I’ve NEVER seen a GT Nomad…if I see one, I will know that it’s mine.” A few blocks later...

So…this is a follow up to my previous post. Tanya was driving down Plymouth Avenue in Rochester, thinking…”You know, I’ve NEVER seen a GT Nomad…if I see one, I will know that it’s mine.” A few blocks later, she saw someone on a GT Nomad, a young man, stopped...
