“Bikes Use Bike Signal Only”

Posted on December 8, 2011 | Leave a comment

Eugene has added a temporary sign, the one that flashes words, saying “Bikes Use Bike Signal Only”. This is great for cyclists and motorists who have yet to realize there is a newly placed bike only traffic signal last Thursday located at 18th/Alder. I am not sure when the light was actually placed or when they will remove it. But I think this is a good idea to help bring awareness to the new signal. To read more about the newly placed bike only traffic signal, read my article here; Eugene’s First Bike Only Traffic Signal

I made a short video of the sign.

Posted on November 23, 2011 | Leave a comment

Yesterday Angel and I went on a nice ride yesterday during the warmer weather. We rode along the bicycle paths in Alton Baker Park.

Here are a couple other videos from earlier this year I haven’t posted.
Summertime ride similar to this last one.

From our bicycle tour in August.

This is a video from our very first day after we moved Eugene, it was in my first blog post.

iPhone 4S

iPhone 4S

iPhone 4S, side

Like many others today, I received my iPhone 4s. I plan on trying out and reviewing a lot of the Bike Computer/GPS apps that you can get for the iPhone. Along with some different bike mounts/cases. This will hopefully good comparison of what bike apps for the iPhone, to help people chose the one that is right for their needs.

With all these Apps and accessories you can get the iPhone is a perfect choice for cyclists. This phone has great GPS/Mapping capabilities, battery life, and a great 8mp camera with 1080p video. It would be great to do everything on bike tours.

I have enjoyed the phone so far. Just waiting to get some cases to feel safer using it on the bike before starting the reviews. Here are the first videos I took with the iPhone when I was riding along the river on the bike path.

Funny Toyota Venza Commercial, Updated

Posted on September 11, 2011 | Leave a comment

I was watching TV tonight and there was a pretty funny commercial on. Toyota’s commercial for the 2011 Venza. The Commercial is about a teenage girl talking about how adults are anti-social. Meanwhile the parents are mountain biking with friends, and she is sitting on Facebook like most young people. There seems to be a lot more bikes in car commercials within the last couple years.

::Update::
Here’s another Toyota Venza commercial with the same girl talking about how old her parents are.

From Videos to Here

Posted on September 7, 2011 | Leave a comment

Before I moved to Eugene, before I even thought of moving to Oregon, before I really knew Angel. Back around February of 2008 I came across this video, and loved it. I remember how good I thought it was. The video was a prequel to newer bike videos like the Roll on, Oregon video from the BTA, and the If I Ride Video from People for Bikes. These videos just make you feel happy watching them.

I came across this video yesterday again, while looking through old files of mine. Shortly after starting the video I realized that the background was Eugene, OR. That this whole video was shot here, in Eugene, where I ended up moving 3 years later. From a video I loved and enjoyed watching, to the new city I love and enjoy living in. It’s a happy thought to know that I moved here to a place I can see my self being for a long time.

The music. Not only that but yesterday we rode by Viva Vegetarian Grill and the guys from Explosions In The Sky eating there. We didn’t learn till later that it was them but we saw them. And almost stopped for ice-cream but didn’t.

I will continue posting some more old videos that I used to really like.

70’s Klunkers

Posted on September 1, 2011 | Leave a comment

Bike Portland posted this article of the Mountain Bikers from the 70’s and it included old video footage that shows young Gary Fisher. It’s pretty cool to see them ride down on those old cruisers

Cool New Video from the BTA

Posted on August 13, 2011 | 1 comment

I wish then video wasn’t so Portland centric but that seems to be the way the BTA is heading these days. None the less, it’s still a really nice video. There are a lot of good lines in there. Reminds me of the People for Bikes; “If I Ride” video. Both having a poem read along to the video. I enjoy bike videos like these a lot.
