In this special travel adventure episode, I spend a long weekend on the island of Nantucket off of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, by bicycle, without a car. I share with you what I learn about the ferry transportation, some historical sites, beaches, and nice bike trails. Plus, I carry my KastKing Blackhawk II Telescopic Rod and try my best to catch a fish.
Please note: On this Nantucket trip, I brought my own bike (and backpack of personal items for overnight stay) to the island. There are bike rentals in downtown as an option, if you don’t have your own. Also, the Whaling Museum is must see in downtown, however the museum was closed on the days of my visit.

Getting a flat bicycle tire seems to happen all too often. When it does happen, you don’t need to bring your bike to a shop. You can do it yourself at a fraction of the cost. Here, I show you How To Fix A Bicycle Tire Inner Tube in my video.
Option 1, patch a hole puncture on the tube with Park Tool Patch Kit, and Option 2, replace the old tube with a new tube. I use the Crank Brothers Speedier Lever tool to remove the tube from the rim and reapply the tube back onto the rim.
Plus, as a bonus, let us take a short ride on the Monterey Coastal Recreation Trail to view the California sunset.

Are you planning to visit Yosemite National Park? I have been there several times, thanks to my Dad. And I share what to do in the beautiful park, even if you only have one day to spare. In this video, I bike around Yosemite Village and in the scenic majestic valley, giving you a sampler of what Yosemite has to offer. Enjoy!

In cities, a single speed is the preferred type of bicycle by commuters due to its lightness and simplicity. It is so bare bones that it doesn’t even have brakes or cables. There are no derailleurs. Basically, that means you’re feet are the drive train, the gears AND the break. So get ready to pedal hard when you have to climb that steep hill because you can’t downshift to a low gear ratio. And then, how do you go down the other side of the hill? Very carefully, I would say.
The print of my drawing is available at my store. Feel free to check it out :)

I had the awesome opportunity to do a set of pen & ink type drawings for the redesigned website of a local bike shop, called the Brooklyn Bicycle Company. My little sketches appear on the homepage, navigational buttons and other landing pages. Their website has a nice clean look with professional photos of their unique products. If you are looking for a classic style bicycle or a simple urban design, I recommend checking out Brooklyn Bicycle Company. Just order the bike model that fits your needs and accessorize it. They will send it to a bicycle shop near you and assemble for no additional fee.
Hey. Spring is less than a month away. Are you ready for cycling on you’re favorite trails?

The Volkswagen Beetle has come a long way from being a concept of Hitler’s in the 1930’s. Originally called the Volkswagen Type 1, it was born from the need of a cheap and simplistic car design, yet powerful enough to travel on the Autobahn.
From out of the darkness of WWII, however, the Bug is adopted as a symbol of Peace. And now, a fun way to get to your favorite activity destination. Am I starting to sound like a car commercial?
My drawing is based on the new Beetle that was re-introduced to the world in 1998 (including a cool mountain bike).

It’s a lazy Sunday. Though, still a great time to take the bike out and hit a trail.
Here’s my drawing of the lovable Mini Cooper.
Happy 4th of July weekend y’all!

This is a new version of my watercolour painting of an antique 1970’s Schwinn bicycle.
As a perfectionist, I keep tinkering with the details of the illustration. Â This time, I’m happy with the final reworking… for now.
