Will Google Add a 'Bike There' Option to Google Maps

Saw this post on Bikehugger.com this morning and I know it would be a major undertaking for Google to implement, but it'd be great. While we live pretty far from my office (a 30-40 minute drive), I explored a bike commute route and I had a hell of a time finding a safe, but direct router [...]

TGIF!

The title of this post says it all. It was a crazy busy week and I am glad it's coming to an end! I may even try to dodge out early…

 Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend! I know [...]

How to Turn OS X's Dashboard Off

Nice. Here's one I've bookmarked and gladly will utilize often to maximize efficiency. Most of the time, I don't use OS X's dashboard, and it's a pretty memory intensive hog. Here's the quick tips at how to disable and enable the memory hog at will.

Shimano's New E Dura Ace

Gerolsteiner rider Fabian Wegmann's Specialized Tarmac SL2 (awesome bike BTW!) had a unique Shimano component set throughout the 2008 Amgen Tour of California. The Shimano E Dura Ace looks production ready, but the video that accompanies the article says they're not sure when, or if it would be released at all.

Lawson Update and How The Offense Changed

While the Tar Heels have fared OK without Lawson now for half the ACC season, they're really going to need him going into the ACC and NCAA tournaments. There's few fans following the Heels that haven't realized that Ty's injury is more serious than first believed. It still doesn't sound like he's out of the woods [...]

Apple Releases Software v1.1.4 for iPhone and iPod Touch

So out of the blue, a new firmware showed up this afternoon for the iPhone and iTouch. So far, it looks like it's nothing new in terms of features as far as I can tell. Maybe it's only bug fixes, but maybe it's laying the groundwork for the soon-to-be released software developer kit.

Edit: One thing, all [...]

Go from Couch Potato to Exercise Enthusiast with Diligence and Flexibility

Have I mentioned how much I like the site/blog, Lifehacker? While not every article is relevant to me, I find so many of them right on with my lifestyle, interests, etc. Anyway, here's another example of a great article they've put together about transforming your life from sedentary to more active.

Mellow Johnny's: A Commuter Bike Shop

I've been meaning to post about Lance Armstrong's new Texas bike shop for days. It sounds really cool, and so much more than your everyday (but still close to heaven for me) bike shop. Instead, it has a focus on bike commuting – with showers, storage, etc. for the commuter community. I would love for this [...]

Frostbite Tour A Success

So despite the cold and slightly wet weather, the Frostbite Tour was a big success. I did the 100K and rolled through the first 50 miles with relative ease. I started toward the back of the pack and took the ride as an opportunity to work on taking wheels, conserving energy and then bridging up to [...]

Frostbite Tour Tomorrow

So in the morning, Amanda and I are out to Clayton for the fifth annual Frostbite Tour, though it's actually the first for us. It looks like the clouds are going to hang in there, but the rain will part in time for the start. Amanda will be manning two rest stops. Typically, her and our [...]
