Schrodinger's Rack

If there are no bicycles in the rack, is it a bicycle rack or just part of Western Washington University's extensive sculpture collection?

A Long Line of Bicycles

The Ski to Sea race ends in Fairhaven, where a huge celebration (literally named "It All Ends in Fairhaven") awaits teams and revelers. Thousands of people join the fun, so it's smart to forgo the car and walk, bike, or take the shuttle. Some of these bikes belong to race participants-- there's a road bike leg and a mountain bike leg in the race-- and some, like ours, were just bicycling on a beautiful day.

Well Blended

Thirsty patrons must blend their own smoothie at the Bellingham Farmer's Market.

Bicycling the Boardwalk

The rippled bay dances

with a gold and stormy gleam,

warm wind stealing their laugh

and taking it to me.

Green Transportation

I love my bike, but even the thought of climbing up on this one gives me heart palpitations. It's a loooooong way down! He looks like he's having a good time, though.

Downtown Bicycles

These bikes are wheel nice, aren't they?

Love the Earth

A cyclist with an environmental message, as seen through my gas-guzzling van's dirty windshield. She loves the earth-- but I'm not sure how much she cares about herself, as she ignored the traffic and pushed right through Bellingham's busiest intersection against a red light! Luckily, she survived the harrowing experience and lived to spread her message again.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

Yesterday Bellingham held it's first St. Patrick's Day parade. The parade was sort of a grass-roots affair so it didn't have the all the polish of your standard parade, but it did have much more interesting entries than you would normally see. This roguish group of bicyclists were all riding some great custom creations. I want one!

I can't do this maneuver...

...or if I did, I'm pretty sure I'd break something. Besides, I don't think it's recommended to try this if your bicycle is an ancient cruiser pulling a kiddie trailer. No matter. I'm still a fan of Fairhaven Bike & Ski, which is decorated with many of these metal cutouts, inspiring you to get out there and do something fun. Just don't break anything.

Bicycle with a View

I took this at Boulevard Park back in July, but it might as well have been yesterday-- we have been enjoying a warm indian summer, and the nice weather is supposed to last through the week. We 'hamsters like to get out and soak up the sun while we can.
