Well hello there! Glad you stopped by. I’m pretty excited to be working on this website again. I originally built the Stand Up And Ride website in 2010 and posted my first blog post in November of that year. I was very active with it for about six years. After about eight years, I took it down and moved on to other projects.
However, I recently got re-energized with a brand new product and I’m happy to say “I’m back baby”! I dug through some of my favorite archive posts and included them here to go along with all the new stuff coming your way. I hope you’ll enjoy the old and the new as the focus will be a little different this time.

Finding Balance At 50
OK, I've got a confession to make. People that know me, and who have ridden with me already know this but I'm going to let everyone else in on it too. I'm a very average rider, and I'm not ashamed of it. I ride a lot of different Stand Up bikes but I'm not an all star...
The LYRIC – More Than Just Another Ride
The niche the LYRIC fills for me is fast and comfortable commuting.
Why Stand Up And Ride?
A lot of people ask the question. We already have road bikes, mountain bikes, tricycles, recumbent bikes, cruisers, and on and on. Why in the world do we need another type of “bike”? Well, for many of us that choose to “Stand Up And Ride”, the story is one of...
