Louie
I had a great interaction with Louie, Boston’s most notable tricycle rider, late last night in the cold. He’s got a ton of lights on his bike now- something I didn’t remember him always having. I rode up next to him, complimented his lights and rode off. He seemed tired from a long day of riding.
I absolutely love seeing Louie around town and I think he is the poster-cyclist for Boston riding. He rides all year in all sorts of weather- we should all aspire to get on our bikes as much as he does!
It made me think that I wanted to share the “Louie” vimeo made this time last year with everyone. I don’t personally know who made it- all I know is that they did an amazing job.

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE NIGH!!!
My Father forwarded me a great article about the not so awesome collabo. of bicycle riders and headphones; and it’s consequences in the UK. I’m wicked guilty of this as of late- my ride in from Allston is much further than my old commute from Cambridge. That coupled with the sweet bluetooth headphones I nabbed from my Brother. I love riding but the same ride gets boring real fast. It’s a great article though, click the pic for the whole shebang.. My favorite part is the title…
braaaaiiiinnnsss- don’t wear headphones and ride people, use your braaaiiiiinnsss.

HOW WEIRD!
What a weird encounter Greg and I had the other night with my bike’s big sister. Whoever owns this bike contact me, we should be BFF’s and go for a ride soon! <3Bianca
Flat Tire(d)..
It seems like I am getting the same text from everyone these past few days- “I need air in my tires.” No one knows how to perfectly predict the wacky world of slow leaks and volume x pressure x autumnal temperature; but here’s your number one shot to not getting caught flat again.
School is hectic now and stress is high. Make life easier and purchase a Topeak Road Morph G. Find it between $25 and $35 online. Sometimes $30- $40 at your LBS. Running on low pressure is a one way ticket to flats. Properly inflated tires save time and money- they make for more efficient riding- and they’re safer too. The RM-G works on both presta and schrader valves and it works better than 95% of the pumps out there.
