Newarkers Attend North American Handmade Bicycle Show
March 7, 2010 – 8:06 pm
Last weekend, Ryan and I left Newark in the middle of a snow storm to attend the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Richmond, VA. Oh my gosh! There was any kind of bike you could imagine there: steel, titanium, carbon fiber, bamboo, wood composite, road, track, mountain, off-road, city, tandem, folding, lawnmower, etc. And [...]
Marty’s Rep Night
February 22, 2010 – 7:18 pm
On Tuesday, February 16, Ryan and I apprehensively attended Marty’s Rep Night. Marty’s Reliable Cycle (saving the world with bikes) is a wonderful bike shop at all three of its locations: Morristown, Randolph, and Hackettstown. If you were wondering, yes, Marty looks exactly like the cartoon on the website.
Marty’s Rep Night is a night with [...]

New Contact Info!
January 13, 2010 – 5:04 pm
You can call me whatever you want, just don’t call me late for the bike ride… or something like that. Just wanted to take a minute to let everyone know that BCBC has a new phone number!
“Why?” you ask, because even though you clearly can, not everyone is able to access the interwebs.
So get out [...]
what would je(rk)sus do?
November 12, 2009 – 8:36 pm
So, as reported earlier, I bought this folding bike, and it’s 30 pounds, so pretty heavy compared to the sirrus I’m used to carrying around on one arm.
To get to my apartment, I have to climb a flight of stairs adjacent to two other apartments. Tonight one of my new neighbors (I moved recently) opened [...]
I Fold or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Folding Bike
November 7, 2009 – 5:54 pm
A decision several weeks in the making came to fruition today.
Last month, I decided I wanted to buy a folding bike to celebrate another marvelous year on this planet. I tried a full size dahon at our man nelson’s store, al’s cycle solutions, which was fun and I knew it would be convenient.

Marie and Ryan’s Celebratory Wedding Ride
October 12, 2009 – 2:56 pm
Ryan and I got married on September 12 behind our house in Camp Alley (one of the few remaining brick alleys in Newark). Then we headed upstairs for afternoon tea with our guests, including food, drink, dancing, a cheesy poem contest, cupcakes, and fun. To celebrate even more, we hosted a celebratory bicycle ride.
We [...]
