  • Writing By Bike

    in

  • Learning to Be a Big Spender

    in

    It's one thing to not follow your own advice; it's even worse when you've forgotten what that advice was in the first place.

    Fixed Gear and Fixed Rate

    in ,

    In the space of two hours on Friday afternoon, I closed on a condo in Jamaica Plain and picked up a fixed gear bike at Ace Wheelworks in Somerville. Sorry to drop this news on you without any run-up, but that's just the way it has to be. I can't really explain why I haven't…
