Surly Cross Check takes on the Pittsburgh snow

I had the opportunity of doing some snow riding while returning home from class. Surly handled pretty well in the wet stuff, but what helped was the weighted-down rear panniers. Only headache was the leg-burning climb back up to Squirrel Hill from the jail trail. Hopefully living on the hill will help my climbing ability come spring. First race is set for April 17th.


Incredible video of cycling in Copenhagen

If only more US cities could be as progressive as Copenhagen. They really have quite the system there. Would love to check it out on a trip sometime.

Dirty Dozen video released!

I managed a brief cameo at the 12:40 mark. Sad that I wasn't even on the bike.
