Eugene Bicyclist

ON BIKE CULTURE IN EUGENE | Fine blogging since 2010 (with periodic long breaks)

About Eugene BicyclistI’m a longtime lover of the two-wheeled contraption known as the bicycle. In the past, I’ve toured and ridden with clubs and raced — not well, mind you. I languished in Cat 5 as a road bike rider and Sport class as a mountain bike racer. But I did things like intervals on training rides and I kept track of my a.m. resting heart rate. So much free time we have when we’re young! Things change. These days most of my riding involves commuting to and from my job, something I’ve been doing for literally decades now. I can’t claim I pedal to work every day — but a lot of days. Yes, I do have a car, too. I’m not a fanatic. Anyway, I see things on my commute and have thoughts about them. I will post those things here. Yes, basically this is a rip-off of Bike Snob. So be it. He’s in Brooklyn for God’s sake. This is Eugene. Contact me at: eugenebicyclist [at] gmail [dot] com
