Casual cyclist and sometimes bike commuter, book lover, and mom to clingy cats.
I went cycling from home to downtown on my trusty Trek FX. It was lovely. I also tried my new Jack handlebar rack. It was easy to install and pretty secure. I might add a small basket to it later. I do like having some weight up front rather than only over the real wheel. #bicycle #bikecommuter

Someone thinks reading time is in-your-face cuddle time. What should I do? #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #calicocat

10.2 miles on my mountain bike. TBH I'm more of a flat bar roadbike and pavement lady. Faster. No rocks to throw off your balance. But then there are cars. Fortunately a lot of Austin has bike lanes. Though not always quality (i.e. protected) ones. #bicycle #mountainbike #cyclistsofbluesky

Apparently there's a hash tag called #blueskymonday. So here is my photo of Taos Pueblo. #taospueblo #newmexico

Wow. I've said it before: the ones most able to stand up to Trump are also the most cowardly.

I've been gone for 10 days. They are happy to see me again. And vice versa. #catsofbluesky #blueskycats

My purple underused mountain bike (Trek Marlin 5) which I took with me to northern New Mexico (mostly Santa Fe). I finallv made her more comfortable by cutting down the handle bars, adding comfier grips with a side grip, and cushier seat. Much better now. #bicycle #mountainbike #santafe #newmexico

Grocery haul by bike. Woohoo! We'll I couldn't get the kitty litter. That's too heavy. Maybe on a lighter food haul it would be possible. #gobybike #bikecommuter #weekwithoutdriving #weekwithoutdrivingatx #ebike

Day 5 of #weekwithoutdriving was very pleasant. Saw lots of silly Halloween lawn decor and tried out Epicerie bistro which was delish! The evening weather is still warm but its still kind of summer here right? #weekwithoutdrivingatx #ilovemybicycle #iwanttoridemybicycle #cannondale #ebike

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

Doing a #WeekWithoutDriving. I got around by bike. It was overall fine but plenty of streets need protected bike lanes. Hell, even the flex posts would make me feel safer. It's something to keep drivers from getting too close. #WeekWithoutDrivingATX

From the article:
“We have a golden share, which I control, or the president controls,” Mr. Trump declared. “Now I’m a little concerned whoever the president might be, but that gives you total control.”

Total control? Over the means of production? ....

What’s that called again? (socialism)

Really enjoyed my bike commute today. Morning was in the 70s (I think) and glorious! Evening in the low 90s. Low humidity. Very pleasant for Texas in September! #ebike #bikecommute #gobybike
