Biking Hartford

My current ride to get around the Hartbeat

As I'm trying to get past my summer of emo funk, I've decided that one way to beat it is to ride my bike around the capitol city as much as I can. Ok, there are a few other reasons, such as having found myself both car-blocked (several cars blocking mine in the driveway) and also car-useless (long embarrassing story that you don't deserve to know!). Another reason is my need to get into shape, or at least sculpt this 'doughy nerd' shape that I currently have. So, I'm mustering up a plan to add to my already far too big list of things to do that my ADD keeps me from focusing on. This one consists of me riding to places on my bike, photographing it, and posting it. I kill two birds this way (no offense, Robin): I get some exercise and get a blog post out of it that I must post! Let's see how this works out for me, shall we?


Oh, speaking of bicycles and blogging, check out the new blog by my friend, Ryan McMasters, Spinning Gears! Also on the bike-blog front, visit our new contributor, El Presidente de China's new blog, New London Commercial Fishermen's Blog. Between us, and the always classy Beat Bike Blog, we're going to remind people that Hartford is still a bicycle city and that roads were always intended for bicycles!
