Boulder Bike Shops

Community Cycles has a great rundown of local bike shops on their website, here.

With information about each shop such as what each carries, what they specialize in, and all the info you need to get in contact with them, it's a great one stop resource for every shop in Boulder.

Time gone by.

Holy Crap.

The last post I made was in August of last year. I'm not sure how 4 months slipped by without me updating this meager bike blog, but it has. It's not been for lack of doing bike stuff. I've gotten more busy with Community Cycles, BLAST (the BVSD one, not the Boulder Local Action Support Team) has kept me busy working on getting a curriculum for junior high school students to have some awesome bike action in their PE classes (more on that later...) and I found out several months ago that I'm going to be a dad.

That last little bit has me working on several big projects in a push to get them done before the baby gets here, as I realize how little time I'm going to have in the coming months.

I went to Southern California for the holidays, and met Nick from killradio, who has a podcast called "biketalk" and is awesome. It's a two-hour show that covers all kinds of things bicyling related. I'm behind in keeping up with the show, but the episodes are all available at killradio's website. I'm told an interview I did with him got airplay, but I have yet to hear that eposide. Like I said, I'm behind.
The show covers all kinds of things, from alley cat races, to sanctioned road races, to commuting, to the guy who rode across the country to go to the first ever inauguration of a Black American President. The people involved in the podcast are all bike enthusiasts from Los Angeles, and their love for bikes definitely comes through each and every show.

I was so inspired when I found, listened to, and met the biketalk folks that I'm working on a similar show for Boulder's bicycling scene. I've got a few things up my sleeve, and will entertain any offers of help to contribute to a podcast that's about bikes in Boulder.

That's all for now.
