It’s BACK! A real post & HUBWAY!
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks with Freight Farms joining the TechStars family.

Now that ZipCar is part of Avis, Does My Application Get Approved?
This post harkens back to a few of my previous posts.

Seriously, You Need To Have One of These!
If you plan to be car free and like me have only the most basic working knowledge of bike maintenance, you need a great bike mechanic friend. I was just ridiculously lucky that my buddy Will turned out to be a bike wiz and super enthusiastic to help and/or talk bikes. I don’t bring much…
