Like many of my friends I have said for years that I would not begin my own blog. But here I am, typing the first keystrokes of my very own blog.<br /><br />I intend to use this as a space to being compiling and sharing some of my thoughts about cycling, the cycling community, travel, history, and perhaps personal philosophy... While I have been keeping various journals for years I have become more and more taken by the social aspects of blogging: sharing thoughts and observations, and putting ones ideas out into the great unknown that is the internets.<br /><br />If you have just wandered upon this blog, and are not one of my friends that I told to check out my blog as they ridiculed me, I think I can say this about myself:<br /><br />As a bicycle mechanic living and working in Portland, OR I have an interesting insiders view and opinion about the rich patchwork that composes the cycling community in Portland. As a historian and writer I have a desire to chronicle events, thoughts, and create stories.<br />Hope some of it will be of interest, if it loses interest to me, I shall shut it down and keep my musings to myself.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5195359286637784893-7205395381762208769?l=greasyapron.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Colinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11074369121931652604noreply@blogger.com0
