So I’m riding my bike back from dinner with K. and some grocery shopping when I pass this street sign at the corner of Louisiana and Camp. It is warning drivers to park for no more than two hours (my failure to follow this sign has resulted in some pretty hefty fines this month). This [...]

Last night’s rain has left this city soggy, and I was a bit nervous about getting caught in a downpour on my ride to work. I stayed dry, but it’s definitely time to start thinking about getting some quality rain gear. I took the Surly out for the first time since I got home tonight, [...]

Today’s bike ride took me down to the Marigny to meet up with S. for some writing and coffee. It is apparently the last warm day for awhile, but I’ll believe that when I feel it. I zipped back Uptown to meet K. for a show.

This post really belongs on a blog titled What I Saw Pushing My Bike Around In The Rain Today. As I was leaving this morning to meet S. at the coffee shop in the Marigny I thought to myself, remember to grab the patch kit and pump. Wish I’d heeded that call, because on the [...]

Tonight’s ride took me to dinner with A. and K. and then over to the coffee shop for a delightfully lazy evening of chatter in the cool(ish) breeze. My knees are feeling the pain these days, so it was good to take a day with only light riding. I snapped this picture of graffiti on [...]

I rode my bike down to the Marigny tonight to see some experimental theater. Those two words together often send shivers up my spine, but I was in the mood to watch creative people doing creative things, so I was game. I showed up early to meet my friend M., so I decided [...]

It was a beautiful day in New Orleans today, and I rode home from work with Bruce Springsteen’s Tenth Avenue Freeze Out in my ears and the air whizzing around me. These are the kinds of rides that make me thrilled to be alive, and to get to ride a bike.

Today was simply beautiful. The sun was out and the air was warm and I put on a dress and hopped on my bike for a ride down to the Quarter for coffee and work. On my way home I stopped at the Prospect 1 Welcome Center in the Hefler Warehouse on Magazine just uptown [...]

Today was another beautiful day in New Orleans, excellent for bike riding. I took my bike to the gym up at Tulane. It felt good to be back, tooling up St. Charles Avenue. On my way home I passed these stairs on Loyola University’s lawn–”Steps Home” by Dawn Dedaux.
Bathroom Graffiti in the Marigny

Tonight was a lovely night for a bike ride–cool and dark and cloudy and threatening rain. That might not sound like a nice night for a ride, but it fit me perfectly. This weekend is the New Orleans Fringe Festival, so I rode down to the Bywater to join M. for a puppet show. I
