Posted on April 27, 2012 by TJ

Posted on March 21, 2012 by TJ

Finally, nearly five years after the Town of Mount Pleasant was kind enough to install a bike rack at Hawthorne station because some annoying commuter/biker/blogger kept pestering them for one, the rack is regularly hitting maximum capacity. I actually had to … Continue reading →

Flat, Lifeless and Out of Air, and My Tire Wasn’t So Hot Either

Posted on September 14, 2011 by TJ

I climbed off the 5:27, tired and, more than anything, hungry, as an afternoon appointment had upset my usual 3 p.m. something-sweet-and-caloric break. I trudged over to my bike, unlocked it, and heard a weird squishy noise coming from the front … Continue reading →

Posted on May 27, 2011 by TJ

As if we cycle-to-station types didn’t have enough to contend with–Hummers trying to mow us down, spring snow, trucks slamming into our bike rack–here’s another one: It appears feral cats have taken to pooping in the gravel floor surrounding the … Continue reading →

Posted on April 14, 2011 by TJ

I caught the early train today from Jersey, which was actually the late train. As I braked and de-biked at the station this morning, there were scores of folks standing around. I had already gotten a text alert from NJ Transit, … Continue reading →

Chain of Fools

Posted on January 5, 2011 by TJ

I hit the road a few minutes early today, with memories of yesterday’s bike chain debacle X 2 fresh in my mind. Good thing I did–I hit the pedals pretty hard to get across Bradhurst, and my formerly trusty Trek … Continue reading →

The Weakest Link

Posted on January 4, 2011 by TJ

Left out It was a bit of a scramble getting out the door today, my first trip on the 8:16 of the new year. I read a few books to the kiddies, showered, dressed, grabbed one of The Missus’ baked … Continue reading →

I Haven’t Had a Snappy Headline In Several Days, and Today is No Exception

Posted on October 5, 2010 by TJ

It was every bit a weird morning.  One of the kiddies needed a grown-up’s helping hand at 4:30 in the morning, not to mention a new sheet and some new PJs. The Missus and I groggily tackled the job together. … Continue reading →

I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

Posted on August 10, 2010 by TJ

Man, was it hot riding home from the station yesterday evening. I unlocked my ride at the rack, and saluted my other rack occupant with a nod. He’s a youngish guy in a beard, and I was curious where he … Continue reading →
