Thursday, September 30th, 2010Before we left on this trip, I was a photographer in Long Beach, CA, trying to make a small name for myself as the wacky photographer that goes to all his photo shoots by bicycle. During my emerging photo career, I needed a new cargo bicycle that could carry my dense Pelican case of [...]
Welcome to the North-East
Thursday, September 30th, 2010A couple weeks ago, we hopped on a train out of Durham, North Carolina, and got off in Baltimore, Maryland. Instantly, everything was different. No more South, with its slower pace and overgrowth of kudzu. In Baltimore, we found colonial-era buildings and a snappier attitude. By skipping over Virginia, we effectively [...]
Let’s Meet up in Philly!
Sunday, September 26th, 2010If you’re a reader in Philly, we’d love to meet you! We didn’t get a chance to set up a presentation this time around, but we still would love to talk touring and bikes! We’re staying near Dock Street Brewery (which also happens to be right next to Firehouse Bicycles) and thought it [...]
Visiting Velo-Orange
Saturday, September 25th, 2010Chris Kulczycki was trying to decide what to name the new company that he was about to start. “The orange bicycle. The orange bike?” Not quite satisifed and thinking it should sound a bit more French, Chris settled on “Velo-Orange.” The orange bike in question is an orange Ebisu that now [...]
Snaps: East Coast Blur
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010Everything is closer together in the East coast. In the West, we could travel days and weeks before reaching a city of any size. In the East, things are a lot more compressed. We’ve been a little remiss about updates, there has just been so much going on, so here are a few [...]

In the video, we talk about her website TheCreativeEmpire.net and one of her cool products, the CozyCuff.

Panniers & Peanut Butter - The Ultimate Gear Guide
Monday, September 20th, 2010After nearly 14 months of traveling the US on bicycles, we have finally put together a comprehensive guide to all of our gear, with great photos from the last year, and road-tested tips that we’ve discovered along the way (how to find electricity on the road, the virtues of the tortilla, etc.,) Today, it [...]
It’s Almost Here…
Friday, September 17th, 2010We are very excited to announce that we will be launching our first e-book on Monday!
Panniers & Peanut Butter is a comprehensive gear guide, based on what we have used, broken, tried and lusted after over the past 14 months on the road. We get so many questions about all the little [...]
Heading North
Tuesday, September 14th, 2010A few days ago, we made a command decision to hop on a train. We looked at the maps and we looked at the calendar and we thought about what we wanted to do with the last bit of time before winter descends upon us again. And we realized that we have a [...]
Durham S24O
Sunday, September 12th, 2010Our S24O in Durham was a great success. Jack, our host and a local bike advocate did an amazing job of picking a route and coordinating the logistics. We had a real varied mix of people who joined us, which made the trip even better. There were a few experienced tourers but also [...]
