Take A Twilight Cruise
At the end of September, the leaves begin to change, the sun sets a bit earlier and autumn rolls in with a cool breeze. The temperature is slightly cool, creating the perfect atmosphere for bicycling through some of Buffalo's most historic landmarks with friends and neighbors.
To benefit the Niagara Frontier Council of Hosteling International, a 90 minute ride will take place on Saturday, September 29. The tour will be guided by Buffalo's own police department to ensure the safety of riders. Each cyclist will be given a glow-in-the-dark wrist band and a map of the route, but must be equipped with helmet, lights and and a bike to participate. The Richardson Towers, Darwin Martin House, The Albright Knox and Kleinhans are just a few of the moonlight illuminated sights to be experienced. Anyone considering participation should be aware that this tour is meant as a casual, social ride, averaging 10 mph.
After the escorted ride, a reception will take place on Main Street at the Buffalo-Niagara Youth Hostel, where all bikers are welcome to join. Volunteers are still needed to pass out wristbands and maps, and to clean up after the reception. So as not to exclude those who do not own a bicycle, Buffalo Blue Bike will be present to rent bicycles for the evening to those in need. Lastly, children 10 years or younger must ride tandem.

My Favorite Buildings
After reading a recent Buffalo News story about funding and delays in renovation of the Buffalo State Psychiatric Hospital I was reminded of how much I love that building. This structure designed by H.H. Richardson is massive and I love the whole thing. However I really love the part that no one thinks of, the 1/4 mile long wings (or should I say wing since one wing was lopped off in the 60's). This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

My Favorite Buildings
This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …

I participated in this last year. I went alone and ended up riding with a great family and a couple other unattached riders. It was fun to be snaking through the city with a large group of riders. Doable for anyone who can stay vertical on a bike.
