Things have been busy at the shop and I now have this awesome new sign thanks to an artist in New Orleans. Come see me at 122 Ann Street, Key Weird, Conch Republic. The smallest shop on the island and the largest selection of panniers and racks! Holla at Chily 305-985-BIKE 2453)! I still have … Continue reading Chilly’s Bicycle Shop

7 Mile Bridge Ride 2015

Trying to be seen by drivers while simultaneously trying to hide from the sun! Arrrr! MM15. At 5:30PM. Yeah, it was a late start to go from Key Weird MM0 up to Knight's Key at MM47. But hey, sometimes shit happens. Woohaaa! My partner also had to bail last minute leaving me alone to wonder … Continue reading 7 Mile Bridge Ride 2015

7 Mile Bridge Ride 4/4-4/5 2014

All packed and ready to go! We're ready for a quick escape from the sandbar. A one night mini tour with two oceans! (We don't let facts get in the way of a good story down here!) Kerry flatted out near a tiny patch of shade and wisely took advantage of it. This is nice! … Continue reading 7 Mile Bridge Ride 4/4-4/5 2014

Seven Mile Bridge Ride 2013

These newer sections of the path are really, really nice. The 15 mile ride to Baby's is much nicer with the additional path and no road shoulder riding. The pounding sun is great for charging up some batteries with solar panels for use tonight. Bucci Esperanza, my touring bicycle has 26x1.5 kevlar slicks. There is … Continue reading Seven Mile Bridge Ride 2013

Snowballs in Key West

I took this a few weeks ago while waiting for lunch at Sandy's on White street. There were a few posts I wanted to keep at the top so I never put this one up. I thought an elf with snowballs in Key West was pretty damn funny; which is a great segue to complain … Continue reading Snowballs in Key West

The Space Shuttle is in Town! and other wierdness

Last Friday I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be the Space Shuttle driving down Duval Street. The spacecraft was a little smaller than expected; but the tail fin and color scheme is pretty dang recognizable. It must have been it, but I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough; that thing is a … Continue reading The Space Shuttle is in Town! and other wierdness

Too Many Bicycles for the Bus!?!?

(i haven't been able to get a good photo of a bus with bicycles in it. so here's a sign on Southard Street and Flemming Street. good to see!) There are buses that run up and down the Keys along Rt. 1, and, like Hartford, they can carry two bicycles in a rack on the … Continue reading Too Many Bicycles for the Bus!?!?

A Rollerskating Jam Called Saturday

Saturday, Saturday, it’s a Saturday. 5 whole days of work and one whole day to play De La Soul knew what was up, but my pedicab shift on Saturday was the farthest thing from work and yet I got Paid in Full. The line between work and fun is completely blurred, perhaps even eradicated, on … Continue reading A Rollerskating Jam Called Saturday
