Bringing the new maple tree home...

B.O.B at work...


50 Lb's of chicken feed or dog food can get a little unsafe with the B.O.B. It's manageable but the axle mounted trailer starts to reveal the weight in the steering.   For that kind of weight i usually go with my Blue Sky trailer...

Humboldt Co. by bike...

When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle.” —Elizabeth West








The low traffic of Humboldt county lends itself well to bike commuting...
