I been making cookies for Trailbuilding for the last few months, and I have been everything from politely asked to hounded to share the recipe.
This is what I always say the recipe is:
It’s the above or it’s the version from Joy of Cooking.
That’s how the cookies were made, that’s how it was done where I [...]

Simply by watching this trailer, I have seen the light.  I have had just about enough of the current state of mtb film.  Shock and Awe tactics of huck and flip are worthwhile, but not if there is nothing else to the film.  Sure, the collective and others like them have put some bit of [...]

Welcome to crappy poetry lunch hour:
I awoke this morning, to a storm quite dreary
Rain and wind and cold there were a plenty.
My home was warm as was the office, but the space between filled with rain and wind.
I thought of the bus, somewhere I could sit and read a book comfortably within.
Umbrella overhead, I pushed [...]

Take a good, long look at that picture.  That little bit written in white at the bottom.  This brand spankin’ new sign is one that prohibits cyclist from accessing this newly paved trail in the Presidio.  Is it eight feet wide? yes.  Does it decend at no more than a 3% grade? check. Does it [...]

I’m sitting here, thinking about rain. Thinking about how we could use some rain on California’s parched soil, but how even a weekend of forecasted rain makes me think…
“If I can’t ride my bicycle, what can I do!???”
Well, for one thing, I could actually fix all the bicycles I have broken over [...]

For the edification of our viewership, I thought I might share a few things I learned upon a recent road trip adventure to the single speed mountain bike world championships.
Pack Less: No matter how well you organize your goods, two weeks of four people living out of one car gets chaotic.  Its better to have [...]

SF Urban Riders. More and more people know about us, but it still seems to be a relatively small group involved. If you ride in San Francisco, or anywhere else in the bay area, and like the concept of contributing to advocacy efforts, we’d love to hear from you. Currently, I’m just [...]

Why do we think the way we do? As I read various texts, from the newspaper’s sensationalist journalism to my favorite surreal fictionalists, I get this sense that far too many people are far too confident that they know what makes the world go round.  Personally, I’m more of the opinion that people are impressively [...]

Does anyone else have a tendency to get depressed when look at our world’s wasteful ways, our seeming inability to divorce ourselves from destroying this lush, green and beautiful planet as we dedicate our lives to creation, consumption and procreation?
As Vonnegut puts it, we’ve just about permanently damaged the planet with “100 years of transportation [...]

If I were a scrappy young paperboy, I would be grabbing a whole bunch of copies of the SF Examiner, I would stand firmly on the corner of Market and Montgomery, and yell out ‘extra, EX-tra, read all about it!  SF Urban Riders is going to bring a bike park to San Francisco!!’
But paperboys on [...]
