I want to ride my bicycle.
I’ve been wanting a new bike for a while. I love my Trek 1.2 road bike and all. But with all those gears and everything, it’s meant for going fast on paved paths. I’ve been wanting just a single speed bike to just ride around on, especially since we’ve moved into our house. I’ve really been wanting to cruise around Northside, and get to explore our new neighborhood more. I couldn’t think of a better way to do that than from atop a bike. I’ve been looking at a lot, A LOT of bikes. I just wanted something stylish and reliable that wasn’t going to break the bank. I finally decided to order a Harper SS by Critical Cycles. I went with the Harper because it looked really stylish for the price point, and it has dual brakes, front and back. And unlike my Trek, it has riser handlebars that encourage a relaxed, upright riding position. When I got home from work today, it was waiting for me on our front porch…
I managed to get it out of the box…
That was the most difficult part of the assembly…
And about fifteen or so minutes later, I had a brand new bike…
I love the combination of the light blue frame with the white accents and the brown saddle and grips. I took it for a spin around the block, and it rides like a dream. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. It compliments Genifer’s Breezer really nicely without being too matchy-matchy…
I can’t wait to get them out on the road in Northside this weekend. I know we’ll definitely be riding them over check out to Bewilderfest at Urban Artifact Sunday evening. Hopefully, we be able to ride to check out Cincy Summer Streets in Northside as well. Or maybe a brunch. All I know is I’m really excited for us to go ride bikes around our new neighborhood. 🙂

FC Cincinnati versus Rochester Rhinos.
FC Cincinnati played Rochester Rhinos to a 1-1 draw in front of 14,157. It was the 13th straight USL match with over 10,000 fans for FC Cincinnati. 🙂

We saw John Travolta.
John Travolta is in Cincinnati shooting a new movie about John Gotti. When we were waiting for the bus to go to the FC Cincinnati match, we noticed that Hamilton Avenue was closed south of Pullan in Northside…
We realized it was a movie set. So we stood and watched while we waited for the bus. And I got a couple of the blurriest photos of John Travolta from distance…
He got of a car, walked up to the house, up the steps, inside the house, emerged seconds later carrying a bag and got back in the car. They did the scene twice. And then John Travolta hopped into a waiting white Jaguar, and was whisked away. Not something you see everyday. Genifer said she heard that there have been sixteen movies filmed in and around Cincinnati so far this year. And that’s pretty cool. 🙂

Urban Artifact.
After dropping off Oscar at Genifer’s mom’s house, we stopped at Urban Artifact on the way home to get a couple of growlers to take with us to Michigan…
We got a taster to decide which flavors to get in our growlers…
There was an pretty awesome Elvis impersonator…
Did you know there’s live music every night of the week at Urban Artifact?
We got a growler of Keypunch key lime gose, The Gadget raspberry & blackberry sour ale and a howler of Keypunch infused with jalapeño and lime…
We love Urban Artifact. It’s our favorite Cincinnati brewery. And it’s just right around the corner from us. 🙂

Window washers in peril.
When I was walking back to work from lunch, I couldn’t help but notice that a whole bunch of fire trucks had Fifth Street blocked off between Vine and Walnut…
Apparently, some window washers got themselves into a bit of a pickle…
Thankfully, everyone was okay. The window washers managed to get themselves to safety even before the fire brigade arrived on the scene. And then they managed to get their window washing platform righted…
YIKES! That’s a job I would not want. I don’t care home much it payed. No, thank you.

Polaroid Cube.
I picked up a little Polaroid Cube. Because why not buy another camera? But the Cube is pretty cool. It’s a little POV action cam kind of like a GoPro with a 124° wide-angle lens that records 6-megapixel photos and 1080p HD video on a 32gb memory card with a built-in battery that lasts up to 90 minutes of continuous action. It’s basically a wee pocket-sized 1.5″ cube with little more than a camera lens and one button. It doesn’t have a lcd screen. And that’s what I like about it. I’ll snap photos with the Cube all day long and at night plug it into my laptop and see what I got. It really reminds me of shooting with film…
And I’ve been getting some pretty interesting photos with the little Cube…
It’s been a lot of fun to play with so far. I can’t wait to take it with us up to Michigan. 🙂

Happy birthday, FC Cincinnati!
A year ago today, it was announced that Cincinnati was getting a professional soccer team. Later that evening, we got to meet FC|C head coach and US soccer legend John Harkes. And the rest is history. It’s been a pretty amazing year of soccer in the Cincinnati. FC|C currently sit third in the USL eastern conference. They hold the single game USL attendance record at 23,375, and the single game attendance record in the state of Ohio for their match versus Crystal Palace at 35,061. And they continue to raise the bar on the USL season attendance record. We love it! It’s an exciting time to live in the Queen City. Happy birthday, FC Cincinnati! We couldn’t be happier to have a professional soccer team that we love in our hometown. 🙂
