  • Most Popular CarFreeBrad.com Post…

    That may not be a question that keeps you up at night but now that I put it out there aren’t you curious? Well, I’m not going to tell you that, I’ll do you one better as we all prep for Thanksgiving. This past week I discovered that I can see what search terms have…

  • If you don’t know, now you know…..

    There is a company on Facebook called Slick Bikes,  look them up and “like” them asap if you are interested in bikes, biking, bike gear….you get the idea. They offer great deals that they find across the internet on a variety of things from racks to frames and everything in between.  The aspect that forced…

  • Scene of the Crime- Part Deux

    This evening I must return to the “scene of the crime” from last month.  As some of you may recall, I had a rather traumatic experience when my light and favorite windbreaker were stolen from my bike while parked in the heart of the beautiful WPI campus.  To this day, I continue to park my…

  • Occupy Your Life!- “Free Me” Movement Revisited!

    This is re-post from a few months ago, but given the interest in the Occupy Movement and people beginning to question the moral compass of pretty much everything.  I ask, why not start at home?  A lot of us can’t/don’t want to camp out at our local town common.  We might not be able to…

  • Margaret A.(McGillen) McNamara.

    I was torn on this posting.  I’m not sure if it’s appropriate but I was sure I didn’t want to put it on Facebook so I figured CarFreeBrad.com was the best place. My goal for this blog is to be as honest with you as I can as I struggle to live CarFree and this…

  • Pedaling for Peace 2011- Part 2. I Immediately Felt Bad About Myself!

    Some of you may have read my earlier post in which I started to cut into this young man Chris for wanting to ride his bike all over the place volunteering to promote peace and the environment.  As soon as I posted it, I felt bad about being so pessimistic toward my fellow cyclist.  In…

  • The Movement is Catching On…..

    There is no use in fighting it anymore, you can’t outwit fate.  We’ve all been wasting an afternoon and seen one of the seven Final Destination movies where a group of people cheat death but it was their time so they all get killed in the most bizarre ways possible because you just can’t cheat…

  • Forget Everything Else, I need this bike! Mind-Controlled Gear Shifting.

    The “innovative technology” part — the bike helmet, designed by Deeplocal, incorporates (wait for it) abuilt-in EEG array that lets you shift gears just by thinking about it. After a ten-minute “training” session that tells the system how to distinguish “shift up” from “shift down” (or “I want a sandwich”), the helmet will reliably send the…
