Glove Story
I have to say, the soulless, charmless Thinsulate 40-Grammers do a lot better on bike rides in 17 degree temps than The Missus’s gray woollen mittens ever did. Sorry.

The Missus Shall Be Knittin’ Since I Lost My Mitten
I lost a trusted ally, particularly in these frigid months, just before the holidays. Seven or eight years ago, The Missus knitted me a beautiful pair of gray wool mittens. The mittens were more than wooly hand warmers to me–they … Continue reading

Riding With the Captain, Year 2
For the second day in a row, I schlepped around five pounds worth of Captain Lawrence Pale Ale on my back–on the bike to the train station, then on the train bound for Gotham, then down Park Avenue South to … Continue reading

Come On Feel the Noyee-eeaze

A Commuter Carol
I was visited by the Ghost of Commuting Future last night. No shit. It was a miserable night, gray and wet. A steady rain fell as we stepped off the 5:27 in Hawthorne. I made my way to my bike, … Continue reading

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

Mind the Gap? I Didn’t
Say no to cracks! I’ve noticed a different feel under my wheels for the past week or so as I fly on the cycle down Elwood, en route to the train station. The street looks different as well. I finally … Continue reading

Heavy Pedal
Five bikes on the rack this morning at Hawthorne station, and four more under the overpass. And a Vespa to boot. A new record for the burg we once called Hummerville, at least in the five years that I’ve been … Continue reading

Yankeemobile Spawns Two-Wheeled Whelp
We’ve written extensively about the Yankeemobile of central Westchester, which sits itself in a prime parking space most days of the week at our station. Well, this morning, not 30 feet from where the Yankeemobile resides on the border of … Continue reading
