I have loved bicycles since I could ride them and am now trying to make a living fixing, promoting and advocating bicycles and riding bicycles. Please support my tiny shop in Key West and the larger one on the interwebs at chillysbicycleshop.com! I love being semi-lost and having just enough of a plan to be safe but open to anything. If you enjoyed any of the blurry photos or survive the awful writings, please leave a message or two, it means a lot! Now go for a ride!

Meir Rinde, a Hartford Advocate writer and co-worker, Julie Singleton a co-worker from my p/t job at EMS and myself made up the team. … Continue reading Hartford’s Underground River Aug 2005
