Saw this on the way to work today. I love the type on the building - so classic. You really don't see that kind of quality signage anymore. Okay, it's official - I'm a design geek.
This came out pretty damned good for a cameraphone shot, I thought. No Photoshop retouching here, either.
In the distance is coral island where I first opened a restaurant in 1997, just behind the boat is my current 'office' Bon Island. I've been commuting like this for 22 years.
In the winter my cyclocross bike gets overhauled into a tank for commuting. The rack, fenders, and studded tires help it get me to work in terrible weather (cue the snow/ice/sleet/freezing rain).

Lightweight bags by Revelate and gears.
Got a longer and harder commute since the move, so making things a little easier. Most days I get by with just the Tangle feedbag and feedbag on the bar/stem. I added the large seatbag today to bring in the extra clothes/food for the week. I expect to use the seatbag more when commuting with the fixed gear, since it is quick to remove/install as needed.
Not having a backpack is nice, since there are no showers at my new office...yet.
I am really lucky that I have the option to use the Milwaukee River trail as part of my commute. I am also lucky that there are other cycling and running enthusiasts in my office. So, I'm not the only weirdo that steps out of the restroom in Polartec PowerStretch tights and a soft shell jacket like some kind if nerdy superhero.
Lots of commuting shots this week. Busy with projects... Maybe something more interesting toward the weekend.
Most American cities grow rapidly into the sub-urban and ex-urban scales. To support this growth, and because of lacking Public Transport, cars and free-ways are the main mean of transportation.
The 8.05 from Tulse Hill to Bedford. Note that it is arriving at 8.11. As with most British trains, the 8.05 is never on time.

This is posted in recognition of my last week of commuting from East Greenbush to Troy. The State agency where I have worked for a little over a year is moving from rented space in Troy into State-owned property at the direction of Governor Cuomo as part of his cost-cutting "Restacking Initiative.". Our new office "home" will be Agency Building #1 at the Empire State Plaza in Albany.
It snowed and made my four-hour round trip daily commute interesting. I'd finished most of the projects I'd been working on and did not feel like doing anything thinky (oh freehand reversible blackwork, you hurt my brain) so I practised lettering and tried to use up floss bits. Also, I've been pondering on the raddness of this project and felt all homage-y.
It's about a word a day, in between reading (Little Lord Faunterloy and White Noise) and staring blankly.
I am not going to use my light turquoise, light sage, or light orange floss on this kind of aida again. Cannot see it, looks dumb.
