Sorry for being away from here; numerous distractions, some happier than others, some more pressing than others, have kept me away.
Discipline, discipline.

Since 2008, Oh-so-gently rousing the rabble in support of a more livable Wichita
Welcome!
My commute route.
In place of a manifesto.
If you're here, you are probably at least curious about cycling; if so, I hope you'll feel that you're in the right place.
This is less a blog about reviews of equipment and practical advice on cycling than it is about my reflections on how cycling can make our city a little better for everyone, even non-cyclists. For bike-tech matters, I encourage you to visit the many fine folks linked to below in the right gutter.
I encourage all of you, but especially Wichitans, to write me with stories about your cycling experiences; with your permission, I'd like to post excerpts from them. Write me at "blogmeridian AT sbcglobal DOT net."

One of these days I'm going to go back through all your posts and figure out how many times you say "sorry." Didn't Bobby tell you way back at the beginning not to be so darned solicitous?
Anyway, I haven't been blogging much either, recently. Sorry.
Yeah, Reb--he did. It's that Protestant guilt thing--the sins of comission, the sins of omission--which one can apologize for and for which one can promise to amend one's life. But there's that Original Sin thing, too . . .
Well, I wouldn't know anything about that...
