• Rain Cycling

    By Andrea Menzies Hot and rainy weather but not too rainy for the bicycle. Fourth long bike ride of the week. I met with video game groups in the park to discuss game battles today. People play basketball in the park, volleyball, and now bike to play video games as well. Map My Ride Garmin…

  • Pee-wee’s Bicycle

    By Andrea Menzies My urge to bike around for summer has hit Pee-wee Herman’s bike level. I now know why he had to go on a big adventure just to bike more. For years I could not understand why the bike shop girl kept wanting to go on a date at the drive-in with Pee-wee,…

  • When Classy

    By Andrea Menzies What is classy when you are rich, but trashy when you are average or poor? I saw this posted on Instagram, and some of the answers are surprising. Not driving, having a vintage car, biking, or having a license is another mark of wealth. Having a 7000 dollar Italian or German racing…

  • U Phoenix Escape

    By Andrea Menzies I escaped the nightmare that is University of Phoenix this week, and transferred schools. The flashy advertising sucked me in, but full blown con-artists run that school and they should really lose their accredited status.

  • Bike It Up

    By Andrea Menzies The good news is I was feeling well enough to bike 4 days this week 3 or more miles. I have been able to practice running errands with the e-bike. Yes the battery helps, but you still have to steer with your arms, balance on two wheels, and many roads are NOT…

  • Happy Friday The 13th

    By Andrea Menzies Happy Friday The 13th To All! Today I fell and skinned my knee. Darn Friday the 13th I thought! Now the question will haunt me did I randomly fall, or subconsciously make it happen due to knowing it was the 13th? Was I just more aware of my bad luck due to…

  • Bashing Call

    By Andrea Menzies Protesters hearing the call for justice are being bashed down this week. I joined several Feminist Alliance groups online to protest against Trump this week. Unfortunately I had to go to the hospital twice, and protesters were being bashed down super hard so I had to cancel going. Violation of the right…

  • Record Bike

    By Andrea Menzies I was feeling so much better today I set a record for my longest bike ride on the Strava app. The new bike is working great! I am glad I finally have a working bike as the weather is good enough for it. I have a ton of night school research homework…
