The Buffalo Bicycle life continues as I share a typical weekend day in the life of Buffalo Bicycling. I just finished an epic manga that’s taken me years to read. I share a quick synopsis and my initial thoughts before arriving at our next debut segment…Bath Time with SJ! 🛁🧖She shares the details of her signature ritual, how it’s evolved, and why you should make more time for yourself.If you want more, let me know! I think she’s unlocked more podcasting cred in five minutes than the entirety of my multi year span of podcasting efforts. So, also let her know (nicely) how fun that segment was and that y’all definitely want more.Then I’m back on the road, gathering ingredients to make a soup for a sick clown girlfriend. Feeling pensive and reflective after finishing that epic manga, I opt for a sunny day rip around in one of Buffalo’s prettiest and (bikeable) cemeteries while I share some more thoughts about life and death.Wanna Support the Show?Share this shareable link.Where Else Can You find me?➡️Short form pictorial content via Instagram🤳🏽.➡️Long(er) form written content via Substack✍🏼.

May is National Bicycle Month! Here in Buffalo, the bicycle community comes out in full. To semi-quote a bicycle song, get on your bikes and ride!I open the show with a personal update: slightly less depressed! Bicycling is not only my primary mode of transport (no car), it is also my favorite mode of recreation and go-to mood booster. If I’m on my bike, I’m having fun, minimum. I practice some gratitude before activating bike podcast mode.I hop on my bike, activating bike podcast mode, sharing my Bike Month favs here in Buffalo as I intermittently interweave my navigational narrative. Many of my favs are also regular staples but are concentrated and more frequent in May to kick off the warm bike season. Check out the 2025 calendar compiled by Gobike.I’ll share some bicycle riding tips and advice for newbies from a defensive bicyclist perspective. That means I assume (at best) I’m invisible to motorists. At worst, I’m a target for motorist harassment since my legal bicycle’d existence on public streets is a perceived inconvenience to car-world-domination.Wanna Support the Show?Share this shareable link.Where Else Can You find me?➡️Short form pictorial content via Instagram🤳🏽.➡️Long(er) form written content via Substack✍🏼.

Continuing off thematically from last episode’s cloudly, kinda drizzly, day, our intrepid Buffa-lone Bi-cyclist, V aka me, returns and turns up the weather dial on challenge mode for this quick sub five min epi.

Come along and enjoy with me the precipitational soundscape along the way to the (surprise) grocery story for a quick run to complete my latest side quest: Clown Girlfriend Craves Pizza.

Expect louder drops and drips, splishes and splashes, and… chimes. All in all, a more immersive soundscape takes front and center as I narrate my errand and share about my bicycle rain gear.
