I'm pooped.
March begins the busy season here in Charleston, so forgive me if I don’t post much as of late. This week includes a fundraiser, a film premiere, a magazine launch, one of my favorites from NYC coming to town, Brewvivial, a brunch shift, and another fundraiser. Whew.
Also - just realized it’s not even March yet.

Years ago, it blundered by not designing and building the bridge so that it would accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists.
Now it is banning bicyclists and pedestrians from the bridge instead of looking for ways to make it safe for them. Banning them leaves bicyclists...
Anonymous asked: Stumbled on your blog by googling "Charleston Bike Culture". Got any recommendations for a bike shop to purchase a cheap beater for a 5 week stint in your home town here? I'm at the FLETC for training, down from Ohio and it was cost prohibitive to ship my bike down.
Anonymous asked: You have no pics of hot dames on bikes wearing heels. What gives?
