DBV Danger Zone Northbound →
So College Ave is pretty much the busiest bike lane in the state.* It all gets pinched at this intersection where the bike lane meets a one-way street head on. It is not too bad now that they have…
On travel →
“You really are never going to Europe?” she asked. Probably not. Why? Well a quick look shows that 2 adults can get to London and stay in a hotel for three days for $2200, and that does not include…
DBV Halloween Decor →
I prefer to save my energy for the old-fashioned Christmas light setup. Also WTF with the creepy clown in the tree?

DBV Accidents Do Happen →
This is the tail end of a discussion that began with me stating, “One of us was eventually going to be hit by a car back there.” Back there being the danger zone that is the post office drive through…

DBV Special Weekend Edition - Tour de Tempe →
Here is a vid of the rolling start at the Tour de Tempe. Hundreds (thousands?) of people showed up to ride this year. It was a lot of fun, although by the time I got there they had run out of coffee….
Steppenwolf →
Hang in there for the close-ups of the band members. That keyboardist looks like Steve Martin with an afro. I do not know what the bass player is on, but I want some. The second guitar…
Lee on Manliness →
From The Art of Manliness blog:
For the sake of brevity, I’ve culled what I believe to be the “Top 10″ of Lee’s admonitions appropriate for men in 2008. These are among the best pieces of manly…
DBV Train Crossing →
This gives you a good idea of how many people use this bike lane. The train is always a treat, I don’t know why everyone was hanging back so far from the tracks. Trying to stay in the shade I…
DBV the arms go up →
Off to the races. Note the importance of keeping right. Also keep a lookout for the hamster powered scooter. At least that is what it sounds like.

Just how many Daily Bike Videos, Paul? →
A lot. Over a month. Here is how I keep track. I could use a better camera. Ideally it would be helmet mounted, with a windproof microphone mounted near my mouth so I could narrate better. I have…
DBV Hauling a Big Load →
Returning an old computer back home. The Xtracycle Surly combo is a great ride. Camera work and special appearance by my bike commuting buddy, Erin.

DBV First wheelie drop →
OK this is not commuting related, but I forgot my camera Monday. The kids all love their bikes. Gabe has two bikes, this is his “indoor” bike. Note the duct tape grips that are hiding where the dog…

DBV roadies in the bike lane →
100 points to the first one who tells me what law is being broken here. Also since I get a lot of bad feedback about me pointing out violators, let me remind you that I was nearly killed by a car on…

DBV Moon over campus →
Campus is beautiful in the morning before it gets too crowded and hot. Bonus today was the setting full moon over the palm trees.

DBV happy crossing guard →
This guy stands and waves most days. But be careful, if he sees a child approaching from 200 yards away he will jump into the bike lane without looking as he enters the crosswalk with his stop sign….

Modern Mozart.
Batman vs. The Penguin: The Debate →
I now know who my candidate is … Batman.
DBV Roundabout →
Here we get a good look at the roundabout the city is testing. I like it, but I know how to drive. That means I am the only one who likes it. Bonus: a close up of the pop-lockin dancer guy, although…
High times. Hard times. Downtown. Julie Brown. →
Economic crunch and time to cut your costs. First thing to go: Cancel your cable. Cancel your cable. Now up front, I have never had cable TV, but obviously everyone else does and I know what it has…
