Hey there Gridsters,

Necessity may be the mother of invention. Difficult economies may the mother of creative collaboration.

Hey there Gridsters,

For those of you who read the non-controversy about Twitter in the News & Review, here's a more thoughtful construct on why social networking must be taken seriously from News 10 at Curtis Park's Pangaea Cafe.  Done well twitter invites collaboration which leads to energy and new creation.

On another serious note, The Guru appla…

Hey there Gridsters,

How are you on this off-and-on rainy winter day?

Heck of a week, hail included. Tonight, we ride rain or shine. It's almost Amgen!  Lance Armstrong is back.  Follow him on Twitter while he's in Sacramento and for the rest of the race.

Meet at 5:30 p.m. for 1,000 Spokes of Light at…

Hey there Gridsters,

The torrential downpour begins...finally. Bikeramento swings in the rain toward Revolution Wines located behind Brickabracka for a wine tasting and teaching for its first attempt at a bicycle flash mob. Definitely, there are hiccups. Bikes arrive. Bikes leave. Bikes arrive. 

It's hard to see the path to the winery from the front of 21st and P Street.

Those who remain receive the knowledge of the w…

Hey there Gridsters,

It's the last stop of the night. The Rubicon Brewing Co. You know it. 20th and Cap Ave. They make their own beer. A beautiful thing.

The Bikeramento banner hangs from the outdoor patio next door to The Waterboy. This watering hole has kept us afloat with stout and a meatloaf special in a mushroom sauce. You know The Grid Guru's belly. It must be full.  That's why Body Tribe sustains The Guru.

So many people have joined us from T…

Hey there Gridsters and Bikeramentans,

Bikeramento Week is live. Twenty of us are drinking and eating at DeVere's Irish Pub in Midtown and now on our way (safely) to Rubicon Brewing Company. It's a beautiful night in light rain. We started at Temple Fine Coffee & Tea with extravagant cups of coffee and single origin cappuccinos.

Off we headed to Brew It Up where Sacramento Press bought a round for everyone who made it. 

...Then to Butch N Nellie's Cof…
