I woke up early this morning with biking on my mind. After a short ride with the baby sister yesterday, I was itching for more. I thought to myself, today let’s ride to the end of the levee. So I hopped out of bed, threw on my new biking gear (thanks for sending prezzies, dad!), grabbed a banana, and headed out the door. Continue reading
Uptown
Beer Pong at the Fly
My little sister is in town, and that has meant more driving than I’m used to, but also the chance to take my family on some of my favorite routes. I missed yesterday’s bicycle pub crawl (you know I wish I’d been there, Randy), but today I got to ride up Chestnut, around Audubon Park, and up on the Fly to see the Mississippi River. Continue reading
Metal House at Laurel and Austerlitz
I was tired today, but I couldn’t help taking the bike out for a quick ride. To a bike shop, of course. That’s what reading books about bikes at the bookstore up the street will get you. So I hopped on Jack and rode Uptown to meet up with K., who needed a new tire for her Surly Steamroller. Continue reading
Balcony in the Treme
One of my very, very favorite things about New Orleans–and surely many places are like this–is how many ways there are to sit outside and watch stuff. Continue reading
Decaying Building at Pontchartrain Beach
It was another seventy degree day in New Orleans, and I got up early enough to get a nice long ride in before my night class. Jack and I rode out Elysian Fields, because Googlemaps said there’d be an amusement park at the end. Continue reading
Glass at Jefferson and Garfield
The weather here is crazy. It was actually kind of cold today. Or at least, it feels cold to me when it’s below seventy degrees. I felt the chill while riding home, via a bar–this is New Orleans, after all–for a quick drink, from my night class. Continue reading
House and Lot at Thalia and Camp
I haven’t blogged in a few days, but not because I haven’t been riding around, but because I’ve been out riding so late. By the time I’ve gotten home, I’ve been too tired to write. Continue reading
Sky Above Lake Pontchartrain
Today is my 200th blog post. That’s a lot of writing, and a lot of riding, my bike around, every day. Today’s ride took me through so many different parts of New Orleans. Continue reading
Rain at St. Charles and Milan
Yeah, summer in New Orleans means water, lots and lots of water. The air is thick with it almost all the time, and the skies can open up at any time and let down a torrent. Continue reading
Bike Route at Coliseum and Antonine
I’ve been taking some time off the bike to give my poor knees a rest, so today’s ride just took me to the hair salon and back. On my return, I stopped to snap this photo of the Bike Route sign on Coliseum and Antonine. Continue reading
