It's anything you want it to be…
The Avid BB5 brakes get a bad rap, in my opinion. Yes, the BB7 are better because they have an easier alignment procedure, since both brake pads can be adjusted, whereas the BB5 have one pad fixed. But, that’s to my mind the only real advantage. Change my mind. Anyway. I have the BB5 on […]
Read More Avid BB5 quick alignmentHealth issues and this damned pandemic have kept me from riding even as the weather starts to warm on the coast. So, instead, I embarked on a thorough maintenance run-through on the trike. Which has led me down the road to cascading upgrades. It started with Erin Wade over at Applied Life and his blog […]
Read More Cascading upgradesWinter weather, and some still unresolved health issues, have kept me from riding since last I ventured out in *checks* Ocfreakintober!!! Bark Hasn’t kept me from tinkering and thinkering, though. Upgraded, or cross-graded maybe, my cyclocomputer from the Magellan Mio Cyclo 505 to the Garmin Edge 130. I really liked the Mio, but it has, […]
Read More ImmobilityBecause every bike blog has to have one, right? Pretty sure there’s a law or something. I started biking at eight years old. I followed the school bus down a rural Texas highway to get to school without having to deal with the bullying. It’s hard to convince a bully that you are too badass […]
Read More The obligatory post on helmet useI haven’t been riding much. Lots of reasons for that, which I don’t wanna get into, and which aren’t terribly likely to change before the winter weather returns, much to my chagrin. I won’t make the Recumbent Retreat this year, barring a miracle. Nor Ride the Rim, which I will do. Someday. Oh. There’s another […]
Read More Upgrades and AlignmentsA bit over four years back, I was waiting to take delivery on my trike, and I wrote a post about my old trailer, desperately in need of a refurbishment. Today, I (nearly) finished the job. The flag is a make-do until I figure something better out, the old fender was too brittle to do […]
Read More Next stepsAlmost two years between posts. I’d say that’s a record of some kind, but that would be lying. My plans to ride cross-country fell apart, hard, for reasons, but I haven’t been completely idle. While I wasn’t blogging, though, my selected theme was discontinued and so, new theme! Yay? Cosmetic changes done. Still can’t get […]
Read More BarkWay back in the mists of time, when I abortively started this blog, I settled on Tastes Like Tofu as the title because it amused me, and I really didn’t have an idea for an overarching blog theme. Just, ya know, writing about stuff and junk. Military life. World travels. Hobbies. Whatever. For a tagline, […]
Read More TaglinesI thought ” It’d be fun to do a blog!”, and so, this place was born. It was an abortive effort from the start. It wasn’t like I wasn’t doing things that’d be fun to write about, or that (maybe) somebody might be interested in reading. I just couldn’t be bothered. You can see that […]
