Today was the first time I used my GoPro Hero4 Black on my bike. I have a temporary mount set up on my head tube. I am still waiting for the beefier Ram Mount to arrive in the mail. I wanted to show how well my Busch & Müller Luxos U IQ2 lighting system performed on dark country roads. I also wanted to see how the Hero4 worked with default settings in the dark. Pictures for your enjoyment are below.

Here is my first GoPro Hero4 video. Believe it or not but I have done a lot of graphics with computers, but video editing is brand new to me. I know I will get better at this.
I had a really good bike fit a few months ago. The folks at Podium Multisport in Atlanta know how to assess your physiology and they understand cycling and bikes at a level that I have never seen in my 40 plus years of cycling. I went into the bike fit with a favorite bike in mind that I wanted, but as with any experience with experts I came away learning something that I did not expect, titanium is still a good material for building bicycles. My old Serotta was carbon steel, so I figured that my next bike would be a carbon fiber bike. I rented a Trek Domane 4.2 last year when I was visiting Austin, Texas for a wedding. I rode the bike for about 200 hard miles in 4 days. I hit all of the chip seal roads and steep hills that I use to ride when I lived there and I was quite pleased with the ride and fit. I have an unusual body anatomy. I have the torso and arm reach of a typical man who is 5'6" and the legs of a typical man who is 6'3". I am ...
I think I am ready to write about one of the scariest days of my life. Funny thing is that I do not remember the horrific details, but I will write what my friends tell me what happened when I was unconscious or just do not remember. On Monday morning March 17, 2014 I put on my #Bicycle Commuter Cabal green jersey and headed to work. It was drizzling slightly, but it was warm. I had my yellow rain jacket on and three tail flashers on my bike, two red and one white. I left my house about 6:15 AM and started my 25 mile commute to work. This commute takes me about one hour and thirty minutes. I was taking an easy pace because I had just finished a big 145 mile ride to St. Mark's on Friday so I jut wanted to relax today. Everything went as usually until I was riding on the short stretch of Newton Road (HWY 91). I do not remember turning on to HWY 91 so everything that I write from here on is from what my friends have told me. I was struck from behin...
I did the 25th Anniversary Up The Creek without A Pedal this past weekend. I paid extra for the SWAG. Part of the SWAG was yet another water bottle, but this is no ordinary water bottle. I took the bottle to work so that I could use it on my short frame MTB. the bottle has a screw off bottom. This means it is easy to clean, wow!
