Cycle maintenance:

Very little Zen involved

My hand on the wrench

20,000 miles

My ass has sat this saddle

My bike shows the wear

Gainesville Bike Trip

Mildewed Savannah

For 10 years was my home town

No reason to stop

- Gainseville bike trip series ends with this on 25 March 2007

Back Roads to Small Towns

Not what Basho had in mind

Riding 301

Ichetucknee springs

Sea cows in the river

Not one did we see

(Collaborative haiku by me, Ariel & Clifton)

Leaving my children

The sadness an old habit

Now hurts just the same

Praying for Sheetrock

The sign said: “Bingo for Books”

Bingo works best

- after Melissa Fay Greene

Bought boiled peanuts

By the 13’ gator

Natural Florida

Joel Chandler Harris

Knew Brer Rebbit’s Tar Baby

Wasn’t Black nor White

- Riding through Eatonton GA

Leaving Valdosta

The morning is foggy & cold

This first day of Spring

Gainesville Bike Trip

The first 50 miles

And I’m already hurting

Too old for my bike
