From Fast Company:

“Forever Bicycles”

Artist, Ai Weiwei, placed 1200 bicycles on top of each other – sans seats & handlebars.

It’s January which means it’s time to decide what bike trips we’re going to do this year! Winter time is for planning, spring summer and fall for doing.

Anyone have a bike trip or tour you would recommend?

We’re going to be on Vancouver Island in June and plan to do a little riding while we’re there. We’ll also be tacking on several days to spend in the Seattle area and will either rent bikes to use while sightseeing and/or take a 2-3 day bike tour or both.

Any and all suggestions considered!

For the Love of Bikes blog came into being in November 2009 which puts me in my 3rd year of blogging about my infatuation with bikes and my passion for riding.

Who knew there was still stuff to say?

In 2011 I published 119 posts and authored all but 2. I haven’t compared them but I think the number of posts is up from 2010. It’s possible I get more verbose the older I get. I’ll have to ask my husband and daughter, bet they have an opinion on that.

According to WordPress stats, FTLOB website logged 17,000 hits. The most popular post continues to be the first Katy Trail trip report. The 2nd most popular post is Memorial Day Memory.

What was that? You want to know my favorite posts from 2011?
