One of these bikes is not like the other

I have two bikes that I love to ride. I had a Raleigh 10-speed road bike when I was a teen, but these days I like my bikes pretty and comfortable to ride. When we moved to Greenville, SC in 2009, I went from flat riding with primarily nearby destinations to hilly riding with my usual destinations over 5…

Biking like a kid again

Dad and I didn’t often see eye-to-eye, but I’ll always remember his being there when I rode my bike without training wheels for the first time. Such a classic childhood moment when you first feel that sense of mastery and independence. Riding my bike would become a happy place throughout my childhood and into my…

I Bike Friendly

You may have heard the term bike-friendly which is used by the League of American Bicyclists in official designations for states, communities, businesses or universities. The new advocacy group we have started here in Greenville, Bike Walk Greenville, is working to make our county both more bike- and pedestrian-friendly. When it comes to biking around town,…

Gray days of winter

Sure, we aren’t having days full of blue skies and gorgeous color but I’m thrilled to be out on my bike with minimal effort to keep warm. Snuggly jacket, wool socks, fuzzy cap under my helmet. Only thing I’m missing is a nice pair of chic winter cycling gloves. Much to my frustration I haven’t…

I like to bike slow

I like to exercise outside and enjoy the sights along the way. When I ride with my husband he shouts out practical warnings – like glass in the road – while I shout out “squirrel!” He manages to bike with me for a short distance and then heads on down the road for his “real”…

Joy riding

I have always loved riding my bike. When I was a kid I even went to a summer camp that spent the second week on a bike trip. When I was a transportation planning intern at the SoCal Assoc. of Governments, I rode my bike to the Long Beach Bikestation and then hopped on the…

Wellness Makeover: Morning Exercise

Photo: Love this web of roots along my downtown walk route Getting back on track with good wellness habits has been on my mind for a while. I kept shifting it down my mental to-do list as more pressing items seemed to take priority. Of course in the long run, I would only become less…

Worlds Collide

My husband’s cycling world came home this weekend with the final stage of the Tour of California in our very own Long Beach (photo from Press Telegram). I caught a bus downtown (after working of course) arriving just in time to watch the final lap. We were invited to spend the day at Tony Cruz’s…

Found these awesome photos in my mom's albums. 1962 moods 😍 #1: Marine Corp Ball,The Hague. #2-3: Traveling back from home leave to foreign service assignment. Last minute #flashbackfriday to celebrate her progress healing.

My mom had a longtime nightly ritual of giving treats to her cat, counting them out in Spanish. The "treat party" tradition has finally returned as my mom is on the mend from her fall. Getting up from the stool with broken ribs often needs an assist but otherwise she's got it covered 🥰 #adorable #eldercare #eldercareathome

Mom and I had a scary night last week when she fell and broke her ribs. Just after getting vaccinated and starting to get out, she's stuck in bed with big effort just to get to her rocking chair. But yummy meals are arriving from kind friends/volunteers. After super-sore legs for 2 days, I learned to station myself on 1st floor outside in late afternoon for less stair climbing on round-the-clock meds and other care and for a mini mental break. Don't know what I'd do without this baby monitor!

Touching moment on my impromptu walk through Cleve

Touching moment on my impromptu walk through Cleveland Park. Little kids watching this man's solitary trumpet & song salute at Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I heard him ask nearby woman if he'd disturb the sleeping baby before he started. #yeahthatgreenville
