Today’s ride took me to the coffee shop for some revising, planning, reading, and chatting. It was nice and warm out, and the ride home was delightful. I took Annunciation, and was surprised yet again at how different this city looks from just street to street. Continue reading

Produce Truck in the Marigny
S. was out of town for a few days and (phew) wanted to meet early for coffee, book-talk, and writing, so I hopped on Jack and tooled down to the Marigny to meet her. We sat outside at the cafe, sipping coffee (hers iced, mine hot) and worried about the state of things. Continue reading
My Bike at Cafe du Monde
My sister is in town this week, and we are having a fantastic time. But that does mean I haven’t been riding my bike as much. So while she spent the day at the Pop Culture Association meetings, I took the chance to take Jack on a speedy ride to work. It was a beautiful day in New Orleans, and it felt amazing to be back on the bike. Continue reading
PJ’s Roastery on Chartres
The weather predictors promised thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, but fortunately, upon checking the radar, I saw that I had a window of opportunity for a nice bike ride this evening. The rain is pouring down as I write this, but it was warm and muggy and perfect when I headed out. I took Jack, and went clipless, because I’ve got to get over the little niggling fear I have of being stuck to my bike. Continue reading
Film Set at Barracks and St. Claude
I’m on spring break and the weather is perfect. That means bike riding, of course. Today I tooled down to to the Marigny to meet some friends for coffee and reading. But I was having such a good time feeling the sunshine and listening to music that I decided to zip up and down all the streets in the Quarter, which were virtually empty, before heading to the cafe. It felt so good. Continue reading
Rue de la Course on Magazine Street
It was a rainy day in New Orleans, and I considered taking my car, but I managed to avoid the downpours and rode my bike to work. After work I headed to Rue de la Course on Magazine Street, my home away from home, my other office. Continue reading
Sidewalk at Magazine and Orange Street
It’s that time of year–I’ve got bronchitis. And I’m not happy about it, especially as it is seriously cutting in to my bike time! It is so, so frustrating to not be able to breathe normally and thus not be able to ride normally. Continue reading
Sidewalk Art in the Marigny
Yesterday’s snow was beautiful, but today’s dry, sunny weather was most welcome, even though it was really, really cold. I hopped on my bike for a ride down to the Marigny to finish some grading. Continue reading
Bike Rack at Race and Magazine
It’s getting rather nippy here in New Orleans. I know, I know, I’ve lost perspective since leaving the chilly climes of the Northeast many years ago. But cold is cold, and that’s what I was today. Continue reading
Bicycles in the Rain
It has been really hot in New Orleans lately, but I love it. I used to think I didn’t like the heat, didn’t like the way there’s no way to cool down when it’s hot like that. I was wrong. Continue reading
