How do I start this thing? Words, words, words.
Welcome! This is The Chai Cyclist blog. Spring has come and it has made it necessary that I find some new digs, due to the fact that my original blog is iciclebicycle. It melted with the snow. Nobody can get too excited about a snowy blog when all they want is to see the green of Spring. With that understanding, I have started up this blog. Keeping the bike, but replacing the icy emphasis with a chai(same as tea) one.
What do they have to do with each other? Nothing but the fact that I like bikes and tea with equal abandonment. Tea is often a prime motivation for me getting on my bike, some days. When it was -10F, the thought of a warm chai at Namaste Cafe, tipped the balance in favor of riding. The reverse is often true. I want to go for a ride, but where to? Ah, some tea and conversation. I have a good feeling about this new blogs mix . They say write about what you love. And I have deep love of both of these pursuit's. Let the fun begin!

Nice. Thank you for officially saying goodbye to winter. Onward and upward!
You're off to a beautiful start!
Love that first photo! I'm looking forward to seeing your favorite tea destinations (and more of handsome Harvey, too, of course).
Hi, I love tea too. Learned proper tea drinking when I lived in Ireland (strong black tea with milk and sugar in a huge mug :-)). Had such a tea this morning as well, after cycling to the university in light rain. Enjoyed both.. But I also love coffee - well, it's impossible to avoid that then when one lives in Vienna.
All the best for your new blog. I'll keep watching it.
lynn~ I have tons of ideas about tea topics. But I'd gotta remember to keep blogging about bikes, too.
anna~ I don't have anything against coffee. I used to love it. My regular drink was a double espresso with equal parts cream and some honey. Mmmm! I used to be able to have one and go straight to sleep. But something changed and it's too potent for me, now.
ps. I did enjoy Viennese coffee when I was there in the 90's.
My regular morning tea is a black tea from Nepal.
Lovely! I also love tea and bikes so am very excited about this. And what a great photo you started with.
great blog... Kael is such a spiced Chai drinker.. mmm cardamom cinnamon and ginger spiced tea.. perfect for melting icicles..
Hi. I also love Chai and becoming obsessed with bikes. I can't wait to see what's in store for the spring.
I love tea (and tisanes)! Oolong (and Rooibos). This blog is such a good idea.
I love Rooibos! I have a blueberry one that is a lot of fun. How about Honeybush? Tastes like Rooibos with honey. I have drifted away from oolongs but had some Ti Quan Yin, this weekend. I tend to be more toward the Pouchang end of the spectrum of oolongs and will be picking some up in the near future.
Thanks for everybody's encouragement. I have a had a little distraction, but will be refocusing on tea and bikes, very soon.
