August 18, 2010

Well, granted that I didn’t actually compete in any of the weekend events, I did head over with my camera (and oh my gosh it’s been so long since I’ve used that thing… Do you know how many buttons the 1D Mark IIN has? Freaking… lol) to check out the second day trick competition events. [...]

Bicycling Beijing – More randoms from around the city

August 7, 2010

in Journal

Updates from the road! Well, I don’t mean that I’m traveling right now- I mean biking updates! I sort of wonder whether I should create a new category called ‘biking’, since all my ‘journal posts’ are about biking now =\. Oh wells.

July 12, 2010

in Journal

Finally another update- mostly because now I’m grounded and off my bike for a while after taking a nasty fall two days ago during a huge rain storm here in Beijing. I decided that it would be a clever move to practice my skid-stopping in the rain since the roads would be a bit easier [...]

Though, it does make it a bit harder when I’m thinking about weaving in between traffic because I have to think about whether my buddy will be able to make the same route behind me. Sticking to the [...]

Tour of Beijing – 50km on two wheels around Beijing

June 1, 2010

in Journal

I was a bit gung-ho on Monday and decided that I would bike to the US Embassy to pick up my US Visa. It’s about a 15.5km (9.6mi) ride, so it isn’t that much farther than the distance that I biked on Saturday from the Natooke fixed gear shop. But by the time I picked [...]

First Bike Ride – About 12km from 雍和宫 to 五道口

May 31, 2010

in Journal

I made my first ride in Beijing on Saturday May 29th from the Natooke fixed-gear shop in 雍和宫 back home to 五道口, which is about 12km (7.5mi). It’s not going to wow any avid bike riders, but I’ve never biked this distance before. The longest distance I’ve biked is from the South campus of the [...]
