One of the many positive outcomes of Seven Cycles’ recent flood was this gift from David Porter of Winooski Bicycle. I’ve known David for many years and I think he knew I’d appreciate his gift:
A limited edition photograph print of Fat City’s Somerville shop from about 1989 I’m guessing by the content of the shop.
In another life I worked at Fat City – right in that space. I have a lot of memories from that time and place. Some of which I’ll write about someday.

Another speed project. Top secret until tomorrow evening. A special ‘thank you’ to the Ride Studio Cafe employees. We saw tremendous growth in 2013 – all thanks to an amazing group of people. And customers. And community.
More image details soon.

Today was a good day: outdoors, in the snow, on a bike, working with Kirk and Matt Roy. Great photo shoot for an upcoming Seven Cycles project.

A few of the hundred plus books that got destroyed during the Seven indoor rain. Ray Bradbury could have saved a step – dispensed with the fire and gone straight to the hoses. No need to burn a book when water does such an efficient job.

I am curious about the order of operations on this one. Did they cut down the tree before slapping in some asphalt? Or, did they apply the asphalt, condemning the tree to a slow death? Why leave the stump if you’re paving over it? Doesn’t applying asphalt make stump removal a lot more challenging? Is this some conflict between the streets and parks departments? Is it a sinister reminder of humankind’s fleeting dominance over nature? Welcome to the big city.

Paw print in the ice. Something about this expresses freedom and entrapment all at once – often how I feel. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Here’s some of the work I’m trying to do between bailing water and sliding on ice.

Rode this morning in the icy woods. Great fun on studded tires. Much of the ride looked like this. No crashes – at least none due to the ice.
Thanks Drew and Julie!

No, not the mind-bending 135-minutes of cinematic agony from 1995. I’m talking Waterworld at Seven Cycles. Our own mind-bending experience this weekend. The business above Seven had a pipe burst on Sunday evening. Lots of water. Lots of damage to Seven Cycles. Fortunately about 85% of the water was contained within my office so no bikes or frames were injured during the event.
About 20 of my notebooks turned into abstract art. They’re probably more useful like this anyway.

Here’s a small slice of what happened during this abbreviated New Year’s week.
