Nick is still alive and cogent after being brained on a construction site by this piece of heavy metal - the message is - wear a helmet and beware of idiots throwing things. We cyclists know all about that, right ...? Hard at work with Twin Air Q tandem owner Lt Col Jim Gibson, a long time BF Club of HI member. Wonderful Hawaii place names! The Koolau mountain range is a permanent vista snaking around Honolulu and the windward coast. View from Kailua on the windward side of Oahu. A very Georgia O'Keefe sky!

The view from a friend of a friend's beach shack in Lanakai, the most exclusive neighborhood on Oahu. What on earth was I doing there? The hills are alive with the sound of 'aloha' ... Wives of aloha county - do these gals look happy to be living in Hawaii? Does a chicken have hard lips? A dinner with Bike Friday Club of Hawaii folks, just back from Common Circle's Big Island Sustainability Tour - Ralph, in front, was the coverguy of the Bike Friday 2006 catalog. Sunday ride with the Honolulu Tradewinds Bike Club. They like to go fasssssst. BF Club of HI member Cam Shuford kept up on his Air Friday.

It's a long way down on that other side ... What do I do on a Friday? Ride with customers! Like Cam Shuford and his Air Friday. Chance meeting with Patricia Bragg of Braggs Liquid Aminos, who was enamored by my pink Bike Friday. Patricial Bragg, zestful daughter of the Braggs Liquid Aminos empire, wrote 'The Complete Triathlon Endurance Training Manual' and took to my hotrod pink Pro Petite - por supuesto! View over Kaneohe from a Bike Friday customers house - where do you live on a Friday?

Spotted on a T-shirt in Hawaii. Honolulu basically burns fossil fuel like a live volcano. How long can it go on? Cynthia DeRosier, author of The Surfer Spirit, points the way up the 1100-step Koko Stairs. With my cycling quads I strode to the top, then could barely walk two days later! View from Koko stairs. Hardware belonging to the former cable car that took people to the top in wartime. Hawaii Kai at dusk from the Koko stairs.
