Its time to gear up for Bike to Work Week
Well, it's not exactly summer-like just yet, but perhaps that's all the more reason to hop on the bike and get your blood flowing. It's Bike to Work Week (BTWW) in Milwaukee and aside from saving a few bucks on gas and gaining a little muscle in the calves, there are plenty of reasons to keep the car in park this week.

Bike lovers, let's get a Pedal Pub in Milwaukee!
Maybe it's because the weather it beginning to warm, maybe it's because Bike to Work Week starts in three days (June 6-12), or maybe it's in part thanks to the $350 I just dumped into my car to replace a part I can't even remember the name of, but I've had biking on the brain a lot lately.

Guide to bicycle shops
A few hardy Milwaukeeans ride their bikes all year 'round -- and helmets off to those hardcore cyclists -- but most of us wait until spring to bust out the bike. If you're looking for a shop to tune your bike, or want to invest in a new ride, here's a list of Milwaukee bike stores that can set you up.

Bus bike racks vote today (and other cycling events)
There have been more than a few times when my bike has failed me. Admitting a bicycle is not perfect may come as a surprise to some who know me, but it's true; these machines are not infallible.
