Brick Facade on St. Claude
So, if you ride a bike as much as I do, you are bound to get in an accident or two. Yep. The day started with a leisurely ride down to the Bywater for brunch. 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
Snow Day
It has been downright cold lately, and wet and rainy. Riding my bike in the rain is a whole different thing when it’s cold out, and, frankly, something I’m not eager to do. This means, unfortunately, that my bike rides in the past week have been utility rides. To work and home again. Continue reading
T-shirt Shop on Bourbon Street
I rode my bike down to the Quarter tonight, hoping to see some Saints fans getting their party on after a nice win this afternoon.

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
