    How to have fun in Los Angeles…without a car!

    Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

    In this video, we have a weekend micro-vacation in the heart of Los Angeles, WITHOUT a car. Yes, it’s possible to have fun with bikes and transit. The footage was shot using PEN cameras. Finally got a chance to download and edit it all. Not too shabby for the small cameras. What [...]

    A Leo Carrillo S24O

    Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

    We were sitting around a table full of the remains of a Thanksgiving feast, when Laura got a text. “S24O to Leo Carrillo?” Stuffed with turkey and mashed potatoes, pedaling fully loaded up PCH was really the last thing on our minds. However, feeling generally gross from not being on a bike [...]

    This Winding Road

    Sunday, November 27th, 2011

    Things did not go as planned this year. Our lofty, yet attainable, goals just seemed to slip through our fingers. And, while I’ve long felt that I should just make peace with the way things turned out, I have been incredibly frustrated about it all.
    Ironically, the hardest part has been this weirdly nagging [...]

    A Virtual Thank You

    Thursday, November 24th, 2011

    This Thanksgiving finds us away from the grey and rain of the Pacific Northwest and in sunny Southern California. Just a few days ago the lows were dipping below freezing in Oregon, now we are in the land of 70s and sun and endless asphalt. Our last year has been unpredictable and strange, [...]

    Amtrak Roomette Tour / Back in California

    Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

    We just got off the train a few hours ago and are now back in Southern California. We’ve taken Amtrak from Oregon to California more than a few times and have always enjoyed it, especially in the sleeper car. We’ve ridden our fair share of coach trips and have since been spoiled by [...]

    A Portland Fall

    Thursday, November 17th, 2011

    Today we’re leaving Portland and won’t return until some indefinite time next year. Portland has a strange gravity for us. Anyone that has read our site long enough or follows us on Facebook knows that we always seem to be drawn back here. There are so many things about it that we love, [...]

    Video Review: Mic Check (SEMA-1, Audio Technica Lavalier, Senn MKE 400)

    Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

    I’ve been fine tuning our photography and video gear for our next leg of adventure. During the last few weeks, I’ve made a switch to the Olympus PEN system of cameras for stills and video (my D700 is still safely tucked away though). The PEN system, while not the best camera for [...]

    Waiting and Wandering

    Sunday, November 13th, 2011

    Our travels are in a holding pattern as we wait for the final pieces to come together before we can hit the road again. While waiting can be interminable, we’ve been making the best of the situation by working on getting various projects done. Laura has been making jewelry and headbadges and [...]

    Car-ody Shirts: Threads for Bike People

    Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

    Our Zombie Apocalypse shirts have proven to be wildly popular! Thanks to everyone that ordered one. We never imagined that the shirts would do so well and it’s all helping us inch our way a little closer to New Zealand. I’m branching out to different shirts that will have a pro-bike message. [...]

    How Losing My Car Saved My Life

    Sunday, November 6th, 2011

    It will surprise some readers to know that, in a not too distant past, before Path Less Pedaled, before Epicurean Cyclist, and before I was the bicycling photographer of Long Beach, I didn’t ride bikes, buses or trains. It’s almost embarrassing to admit, especially to our very astute bikey readers, but these things [...]
