The Last O.G.

To get to Roland George’s shop in Brooklyn, you take the A or C trains out to the Shepherd Avenue station, deep into

The people on the bikes are not doing anything wrong in that picture. There’s not space on that road for people to pass safely within the same lane, so they are riding in a manner that discourages that unsafe pass and forces people to drive around them in the other lane when passing. That’s exactly what they should Read more

If your heart can’t handle one mile on a bicycle, you’re in serious trouble healthwise. Read more

Take the Green Line to Aviation/LAX.

Amen to all of that. Thanks for pointing out that many bicycle people are often gear heads in their own right that love working on their old cars and motorcycles. Read more

Yup. longtime Jalop here, avid cyclist and motorcyclist too. And as someone born in London who has spent half his life in NYC I’m also a habitual user of public transport. I moved to LA a year ago for work and guess what? Nothing has changed. I own a car but cycle to work, and when I go to the Mar Vista farmer’s Read more

I can make a right hand turn knowing that a Read more

I had an 1981 that ran until 1991 or so when a drunk rich guy in a pickup truck packed up his troubles with it. It was a great car, going through snow well enough to plow a little with a makeshift thing hooked onto the under front lift points. I used to make the run from Long Island Sound to the Canadian border on Read more

I literally told you what it was in the title. If you read the headline and clicked on it anyway, it’s your fault for being mad about it.  Read more
