David B. Davis

I used to ride in Oklahoma. I used to ride in Texas. I used to ride in New Jersey and nearly bought the farm. Now I ride (and hike) with a titanium spine in Northern California. I'm very happy to be here, or anywhere, really.
The web site link is to my playlist of chill tunes. Just another passion.


Avant, je faisais du vélo dans l'Oklahoma. Puis j'en faisais au Texas. Après, j'en faisais dans le New Jersey où j'ai failli me buter dans un accident de descente. Maintenant j'en fais dans la Californie, muni d'une colonne vertébrale en titanium. Je suis ravi d'être ici. Je suis ravi d'être en vie où que ce soit.

Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom

IYKYK. today I learned that wild turkeys eat snake for lunch. it was odd watching the two combatants in a life and death struggle in total silence. only the by-standing turkey chirped a little. go team?

Back in the loop

Getting in the swing of things after a brief vacation. My hip, my metal hip, is very angry with me; and I think it's from climbing the Great Wall.

Suzhou Creek, Shanghai

I rode until the cops said no. Forgot to start recording and missed about the first 5 miles. Today's Blue Bike was in better shape and had a phone holder for nav. But, damn. they're tiny.

Half Walk, Half Ride - Shanghai

I needed to get a feel for things before jumping on a bike, so I walked for a long while first. Predictably chaotic traffic on a bike, but not overly agressive, and surprisingly quiet with all the electric cars and scooters. I have heard the future, and it's merciful on…

Barely Roubaix with the Gravel Packers

Okay, so I made up the gravel packer part. But we were a good group. Big fun meandering the levees in the South Bay, discovering hidden gems of overgrown trails and pump tracks.
