Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve spent a lot of money at my local bookstore and bikeshop, and it kills me that Amazon is threatening both.

Hard to beat coming into the office with a post-bike commute endorphin rush. Doesn’t happen every morning, but it’s always welcome when it does.




Nothing reinforces my professorial credibility quite like the wet bike gear from my rainy commute draped over the chairs in my office.
