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 ...
Lonnie Wormley at the Albany Museum of Art Evening rides During the month of July I have been riding my bike on Saturday and Sunday evenings. After a day of working on my house and performing various yard and renovation projects I take time to ride my Trek Pure through the neighborhood streets of the city that I love. Riding my bike is always a transcendental experience for me and I enjoy the peace of mind that comes from rhythmically moving my body on a bike through quite neighborhood streets. This past weekend the weather made for some cooler rides than earlier in the month. Rain showers were a pleasant treat on Saturday's ride. Riding in the summer rain is one of the simple pleasures that I enjoy this time of year. Not many cyclist that I know in Albany look forward to getting wet on their bikes. When was the last time you intentionally rode a bike through a deep puddle of water on purpose? Go with the flow, it's just a game Planning my rout...
Nice bike rack sponsored by Ride On Bikes This weekend I spent three days participating in Social cycling. The event was formally organized by the Bicycle Ride Across Georgia BRAG. The weekend event that I attended was the Georgia Bike Fest . I rode 100 mile course Georgia Bike Fest in 2013. The main difference to my participation this year is that I camped at the event location in down town Columbus, GA with some of my cycling friends. This is why I love events like this because you can have real time social interaction and ride a bike. I define social cycling as riding your bike and having fun talking and interacting with other folks at a group cycling event. Social cycling is not a race. Social cycling is a time when you can ride you bike as a group. Stop and talk. Setting around between rides and talking about like is one of the best things I did this weekend. Friday October 9 Day 1 The Social Cycling crew before t...
