  • 2023 BMW R 1250 RS story published in “On The Level”

    “But the RS scratches the sport-touring bike itch in a way that the RT and (even the new) GS just can’t. This isn’t a matter of which one is faster or which one is better. This is a matter of feel—how connected I feel to the bike and to the moment. That kinesthetic high that…


  • July 15, 2016 – I Charge Across Nevada

    In this chapter of “Following Wyman: An Electric Motorcycle Adventure” I find places to charge in the desert while Wyman struggles.

  • Riding the Great Allegheny Passage and Chesapeake and Ohio Trails – Chapter 1

    Ride with me as I take the Amtrak to Pittsburgh and then start the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) Trail, but not before stopping at a crazy bicycle museum – Bicycle Heaven! Bicycle Heaven is truly a unique place: I’m riding a Bike Friday All Packa folding gravel bike. Video and photos shot by me on…


  • July 15, 2016: Leaving Lovelock…and the challenges of crossing Nevada

    Telling this story is truly a labor of love for me. I wrote a 6-part series for RoadRUNNER Magazine, but felt that, even with that, there were photos and stories that didn’t make it to publication. So now, that longer story is online, and I hope that others with a sense of adventure bump into…


  • 360 Walk-Through of Bicycle Heaven in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

    At the advice of the good folks at Traveler’s Rest, bike-friendly lodging near the start of the Great Allegheny Passage bike route, I stopped by Bicycle Heaven in Pittsburgh. Watch this video and see how blown away I was by it all. This is a 360 VR video – you can look around! On your…


  • INTERVIEW with Greg Tada, Motorcycle Designer

    Had a great discussion with motorcycle designer Greg Tada about his journey to becoming a motorcycle designer, his design influences and idols, and his advice for aspiring motorcycle designers.  


  • Across the Forty Mile Desert

    The next chapter of my electric cross-country adventure is now on Substack. I’m still in Nevada, spellbound by it’s rugged beauty and gobsmacked at how George A. Wyman and others before him crossed these vast, inhospitable distances. https://open.substack.com/pub/followingwyman/p/07-across-the-forty-mile-desert?r=2rzwg&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web


  • Where is Tomorrow?

    Where are the voices telling us that a bright future is possible, that if we can make it through today’s turmoil, a better tomorrow awaits?


  • Witness: August 21, 2017, Mackay, Idaho

    It was just another beautiful morning in the high desert. I put on the solar glasses and tracked the moon’s collision course with the sun. I nommed on an energy bar, chatted with my neighbors, and looking up again, I saw the sun then half-obscured, but everything else seemed normal. Only at 80-percent coverage did…


  • Great is the Motorcycle!

    Looks like #motorcycle#motorcycle #riders#riders were already #hooning#hooning back in 1905. EDIT: The Internet can be a fun place sometimes. After I posted this news clip on Reddit, I was contacted (via LinkedIn) by a motorcycle who lived in South Pasadena and got a kick out of it. He happened to be a motorcycle designer, and…
