What is this and why is it here? crossgeared.com was and now is again my blog. A blog is like whatever social media platform exists in your bubble, but is more difficult to maintain, is harder to find, and takes longer to read (no character limits). I stopped updating crossgeared.com in 2013, forgot about it for a decade or so, and now in 2026 have recently returned. Having been away for so long, I had to reacquaint myself with my blog, and this one appears to be mostly cycling related with a few old cars and tech related topics thrown in. I added a tag cloud way down there at the bottom for anyone interested.

AI statement: no AI tools are used in the writing or images on this site, aside from possibly spelling and grammar checks, but I’ve been writing in Obsidian, BBEdit, and the WordPress editor, which are pretty basic. Try to find an AI that would generate that awkward sentence. 😜 I do use Claude Code for some aspects of this WordPress theme and some plugins I’ve been developing. Any changes to this will be posted here.
