Family Services Alliance of Southeast Idaho puts on a yearly bike ride called the Tour de Vins and they have a variety of routes that can be taken. The routes range from “kid friendly” to “one heck of a 3 hour workout”. Naturally I had to sign-up for the most difficult one (see route here). [...]

One of the best purchases I’ve made is my bicycle child trailer. Not only is it fun for my daughter to ride around in, but it’s great for going on pizza runs, hauling camping gear on cycle camps, and transporting around other items that aren’t easily bungeed onto a bicycle rack. At first I was [...] Throughout my approximately 4 years of recreational and commuter cycling, I’ve mainly concentrated on getting faster, buying better bicycles, getting better at hill-climbing (haha!), vehicular cycling techniques, and other main staples of cycling. These all sort of come naturally over time. Some of the things that don’t come quite as naturally to me are bicycle [...] Every few years, I join my family for a vacation at my grandmother-in-law’s house in the town of Washington, a suburb of St. George, Utah. And this year I decided to bring along my touring bicycle to do some exploration and photography around the area, and to see what it was like cycling in the [...] I recently finished reading the non-fiction novel Miles From Nowhere by Barbara Savage, a must-read for anyone who is the least bit into exploring, adventure cycling, and traveling.

This route consists of Portneuf Road, Rapid Creek Road, and Buckskin Road, and is some of the most beautiful territory near Pocatello. Portneuf Road gives [...] I remember it was only last year that I was learning to bicycle in the snow and attempting to gain some confidence with this unique cycling environment. This year, I am proud to say that I have a much more positive view of this fun and challenging activity. Note: please read my Learning To Bicycle [...] Windsor Cliff 4300 Gallery Ok, folks, this isn’t going to be an exhaustive review, and I’ve only taken this bike on one significant mountain bike ride (a better review would come after, say, 500 miles of riding or something). But I can give you what I’ve observed so far! First of all, here are a [...] I still consider myself a new cyclist in a lot of ways, and what I’m about to write has been written a bunch of different ways, and probably better ways, in the past by other much more experienced cyclists.
