Before today I have never seen smog in Pittsburgh, but on my way to work while riding down Liberty I noticed the cloud of yellow floating above the river. I know it was smog, I have seen it in Phoenix and Los Angeles. This winter while at Seven Springs Monica and I noticed it all the way out there. This isn’t cool.
I only worked on the homepage Flash piece and a small interactive map but I really like the way it all turned out. Props to everyone at BarkleyREI who worked on it.
Randy sent this today, thought it was hysterical. I think he could have really acted it out a little more, like SNL’s Lazy Sunday.

After some debate I ended up deciding on the Trek 7.3 FX for my commuter bike. I test rode the cheaper 7.2 FX and the more expensive 7.5 FX which has a titanium fork and better shifters. I could tell the difference, but not $200 worth! The 7.2 just didn’t feel like enough bike, it felt soft.
I am really happy with the 7.3, I have never owned a road bike and I am impressed with how it rides. It glides with little effort from me.
Once the weather truly breaks I am going to start riding in to work, I am too much of a wimp to ride on these cold mornings.
Oh! And BarkleyREI as part of their “Stay Healthy” fitness program will pay for up to 50% (over time) of almost anything that will keep us in shape and happy. Have I mentioned I love my job?
