There is a special place in my heart for the daily comic strip. I have a tool that feeds my three favorites to me in an e-mail each day so that I start my morning off with a little laughter. One of my favorites, Yehuda Moon, is for bike geeks, but has been on hiatus for a couple of months. Rick Smith, the cartoonist behind the strip took some time off to recharge his batteries and I have missed my daily dose.
Yehuda is an old-school Luddite cyclist that commutes everywhere – in all types of weather, rides a heavy-weight steel framed steed, sports a wool sweater and cycling cap pulled low, is a militant cycling advocate, and owns a bike shop with a guy named Joe who loves carbon bikes, technology, and speed. Joe serves Hardy to Yehuda’s Laurel. I see a little of myself in Joe and a lot of me in Yehuda. He pulls shenanigans that the evil inside me sing with glee – painting cycling lanes on main street in the middle of the night, relieving @sshat drivers of their keys, giving bike thieves a u-lock beat down, etc…
On May 2nd, new panels will be available, but this week there have been a couple spin-off funnies available if you check at the main site.
