Erika Modell 10, 1957 I’ve been working on my second novel these past couple of months, and I’ve decided to write the first draft on a manual typewriter.

Adventure Journal is a printed quarterly dedicated to the thrill of exploration and the joy of motion in the great outdoors.

My wife mentioned that she’d like one of those makeup mirrors with lights around it (which are apparently called Hollywood mirrors), and it just so happened that she was about to go away for a few days, so her absence made for the perfect opportunity to b…

Back in January, I set two New Year’s biking resolutions for myself: Ride at least 2024 kilometers until December 31st.

They gave me a pencil to write with.

The stream of piss was unruly, like it always is afterward.

You’ve heard this one, I’m sure: Buy experiences, not things.

Our family has grown by 50%!

Our old privacy fence has decided to finally give up the ghost a couple of weeks ago during a particularly windy day when it came off its bindings and started to fall.

Here’s a restoration project I’ve been planning to tackle for a long time now.

But first, a demo!

I’ve been thinking lately of ways I could shave some grams off my new bike, especially around the wheels, but without spending too much money.

I still love these colors!

No, I’m not that aero yet, I’m talking about chain wax.

I love these colors!

If this post’s title sounds a little familiar, it’s because this is the second time I rebuild one of these K2 bikes.

In my last post I wrote about Johann Hari’s book Stolen Focus.

Do you remember the avocado toast guy?

I’m kicking off the new year with a new category on the blog: reviews.

I don’t have much to say about this bike other than, boy, what an interesting life it must have had.

Oh boy was this bike a lot of work!

I painted a bike!

Have you ever tried taking your hands off the handlebars while riding your bike?

When I was a child, growing up in post-communist Romania, very few people owned cars1, and those that did usually had some real clunkers2.

I briefly mentioned this bike before, when I talked about how I got into bike repair.

I don’t know if this is a new trend or if I’m just noticing it now, but more and more the popular wisdom seems to be that you shouldn’t monetize your hobby.

Serendipity the first When I was fifteen, I scored badly on my high-school placement exam.

This bike was in a very sorry state when I picked it up.

This bike is as old as I am!

Ah, my trusty steed.

What is it exactly that’s so great about riding a singlespeed?

A user of /r/bicla (a Romanian cycling subreddit) generously gave me this bike for free after they saw one of my previous projects and enjoyed it.

It was the 28th of June, 2020; the perfect summer day.

I had the pleasure of taking apart and servicing this cool piece of cycling history for one of my builds recently, so I decided to take a couple of pictures and write a few words about it.

Most of the times when I build a bike, I have a pretty good idea of what I want the end result to look like before I even start.

This is the first build where, instead of starting from a full bike, I started with the bare frame and added the parts that I thought would best fit the image I had formed in my mind the first time I saw it.

Update: A front-derailleur clamp for braze-on front derailleurs, like the BBB ShiftFix, might be an even better option than the seat clamp.
