This and That

House of Talents Basket
You can get with this

Reclining Moser
or you can get with that

Post Ride
Sometimes I wear a helmet

Basket's Edge
sometimes I wear a hat

Assistants
Sometimes I work from home
with my lovely assistants

Moser, Charles River
Sometimes I go on rides
in the cold wearing mittens

Lunch Stop, Dover
Sometimes I ride with others
sometimes I ride alone

Pamela and Patria, RSC
Taking wacky pictures
with my camera phone

Lunch in Concord
meeting nice people

Lunch in Concord
eating hot soup

Z and Her Seven
climbing hills along the
Concord-Lexington loop

Lunch in Concord
Now let's all get cozy
with a warm cup of java

Ibex Balaclava
Or how about a crazy
wool balaclava?

Rainy Boston Night Time View
Enjoy your weekend
and the beauty outside

Crisp and Sunny
No matter what you're into
it's time for a ride!

    Nice -- I like the Dr. Seuss-like vibe. And this might be the very first time ever that "java" and "balaclava" were paired for a rhyme!

    oh wonderful. B and I kinda love that song. It's famous here as for showcasing choices to the children. "you can get with this- or you can get with that..." The kids find it a lot less funny....

    anyway- enjoy- have fun!

    Engine, engine number 9....damn it!

    Now I'm not only flashing back to high school, but to the bike I rode back then...Raleigh Technium 21-speed fall-apart - I mean mountain bike.

    Thanks for a great post and for showing everyone your wicked rhyming skills!

    Handsome basket (the balaclava is nice too)

    I wish I could go ride, but I'm trapped in the kitchen cooking dinner for 26 tonight....riding to the store might be all I get to do..

    Love your blog. Read it regularly. My opinions of your whole enterprise are 99.99% positive. Love your evolving perspectives. Appreciate your opinions. Dig your whole thing.

    BUT I just can't figure out your (apparently aesthetic) fascination with laying your bikes down on the ground! What's up with that? They look so orphaned, disrespected, injured, like BMXs tossed aside at the corner store, ready to be backed over by a delivery truck.

    Stand 'em up. Lean 'em ready to ride. Buy a kickstand. ANYTHING!

    Had to get that off my chest finally. Sorry.

    Please take this in the friendliest way possible.
    Happy Holidays!
    :)

    Woah, that is a gorgeous basket in the first pic! Can't wait for the review. That would almost be worth the inevitable drag.

    Great rhymes and silliness. Just what the bike blogosphere needs, sometimes! Thanks V.

    :D We have a couple of those assistants too, but the only thing they really assist with is occasionally warming your lap, otherwise they tend to be somewhat counter-productive :)

    Just rode across town in the cold winter sunshine to pick up our weekly milk delivery. Happy weekend!

    A ride was done
    Eye contact made
    Nothing the wife forbade

    Cave Women, with flute and accordian in hand
    Belied their name
    With angelic strands

    Across from a building in cinders
    Say what?
    Started from elf-whittled tinder

    Demographics crossed
    No monoculture for me
    Glad to have the variety
    This Saturdee

    Ha! Love it! Your assistants look hard at work (or more accurately, hardly working.) Like the balaclava. Makes you look like a bike ninja. :)

    A great set of photos from a visually rich blog. Gives us a literal window into winter biking in Boston at its best.

    I like the sequence of assistants...mittens. It makes one think of the "kittens" in the photo, a visual rhyme. You make readers invariably think of a word you didn't write. Very nice, restrained, subtle.
