I think, perhaps, I might have crossed the “just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should” line this weekend:
Had a slow leak in a car tire, so decided to swap out the spare while I had it repaired over the weekend. As I was about load it into the trunk and drive it over, M. pops her head out and says “Hey, you could put that in the bike trailer!”
Yep. Sure could.
The guys at Goodyear were amused.

I came to Talvin Singh via Flight IC408.
It’s a staple, now.
A friend sent me this, and in the first :45 I was thinking, “Yeah, I’ve seen something like this before.” Â And then . . .

Arlington County Police Department have identified the cyclist in Sunday’s fatal collision as Fitzgerald Pollard, age 44. Unfortunately, no more details about the nature of the collision have been made public, so most theories on how it happened (including my own) remain conjecture.

Between Mr. Pollard’s and pro cyclist Wouter Weylandt’s death (in a high speed crash during a race) on Monday, it’s been a jarring few days. It’s moved me to think about the dangers of cycling, and recommit to being a more careful cyclist (and helping others do the same).
