Who am I
My name is Larey (pronounced “Larry”). I’m a cyclists and the proprietor of this blog.
I don’t know anything. Please keep that in mind when reading this site.
I ride bikes in and around Fort Collins, Colorado. I’m not fast, I’ve never been fast, and I won’t ever be fast, but I am persistent.
I’m an old guy and a road-tour rider (aka going for a ride and looking at stuff). I also do transportation/utility/commute cycling when the weather cooperates.
The old Zen proverb sums it up best: “I ride my bicycle to ride my bicycle.” (Google it)
I’m not car-free or even car-light (I drive a truck), but when given a choice I will always choose riding over driving for any and all reasons. Road riding, road and mixed terrain touring, bike commuting, and utility cycling — it’s all good.
As for bike advocacy: The basic principal of Fort Collins traffic planning is to move as many cars as fast as possible. The Car is King and Fort Collins will n
ever rank as one of the “Best Places” to ride as long as that attitude holds.
So I will continue to complain loudly and then simply go for a ride.
Umm, uhh, well, I guess that’s about all worth mentioning.
