Along with being “A Good Eater” and somewhat food obsessed, I also love to ride my bicycle, and from now until the weather gets too cold, I will be on the road, weather permitting. I ride for pleasure; I ride to meet friends in town for lunch; I ride to do errands. It’s a terrific carbon-free way to get around, and it’s great exercise, something every Good Eater certainly needs.

A couple of days ago, I came across this piece in Diner’s Journal, a blog in the New York Times. It’s about Kickstand, “a collapsible coffee stall that’s wheeled around on a pair of salvaged bikes” in Brooklyn, New York.  Kickstand is “[t]he brainchild of Aaron Davis and Peter Castelein” and their ingenuity and creativity give me hope. If we put our minds to it, we can come up with ventures that are fun, snappy, profitable, and have a low impact on the environment.

As I like to tell my pedaling friends: Bike on!
