Learning to Fly :: A Girl’s First Dirt Jump

.
I straddled my bike in line on the mound of dirt just behind a boy I guessed to be around 12. Too-big jeans slung low. Stretched out t-shirt. School was out for the summer and the neighborhood pack had converged at the bike park that evening, loitering until their moms called them home for supper. The bigger boys launched off the tops of what seemed to me to be mammoth-sized jumps to the left, the smaller boys rolling the smaller [...]

Back to school, back to riding?

.
Pulled From BikesBelong.org September means back to school for many American families. Sadly, these days it is rare for children to pedal or walk to that first day of class (or any, for that matter).

It’s a race that has an attrition rate of over 50% and brings grown men to tears.  It’s brought me to tears more than once. In perusing the internet, I’ve [...]

Girl Gear: Po Campo Bungee Bag

.
This last few months I've had the pleasure of running around town with the Po Campo Bungee Bag. As a former accessory designer I am definitely on the critical side of handbag functionality.
