SubscribeIt’s been a year! We celebrated in Thailand and had an amazing trip. An online photo gallery will be created at some point, but until then enjoy this photo of us on our favorite part of the trip- Railay Beach (or visit DJ Clever for a few more photos).
Tour de Palm Springs
Over the weekend, Edie and I embarked on the Tour de Palm Springs Century. We happened to be out in Los Angeles visiting my sister and cousins, so it all fell into place. A 100 mile ride in the desert had enormous appeal based on the harsh winter we’ve been having in NYC. Thanks to [...]

Yes, it’s true, we’ve turned our blog into a full blown, 118 page book. It’s for sale on Blurb as a soft cover, hard cover with dust cover or hard cover with image wrap. Just follow this link to purchase your copy! Kissing With Helmets by Brett Cleaver & Edie Perkins | Make Your Own [...]
Team Car?
Edie and I spotted a strong candidate for a Kissing With Helmets team car on our way back from a ride over the GWB with Spriggs.
49 days (3,577 Miles) in Rapha
Not typically known as a bicycle touring clothing brand, we took Rapha through the paces on our cross country honeymoon. Granted, I’m already informed (and perhaps a bit biased), as a member of the NYC based racing squad (and having worked at the Rapha Cycle Club in NYC). I know how amazing the clothes are [...]
Rolling on Dubs
Aside from our standard double gearing, Edie and I got the most noise from others about our wheel and tire choice. So, I think I’ll write about our experience with HED wheels and Continental tires (seeing as how Shimano already gets enough attention). They comprised our rolling needs for the trip. We chose the HED [...]
Coincidences
As it turns out, Edie’s cousin, Helen, also visited Steamboat Springs around the same time we did. She and her beau, Nick, spent some time in Colorado and must have found our popcorn trail. We’re officially naming them Kissing With Helmets correspondents because they not only visited and spoke with the folks at Kent Eriksen [...]
Grand Finale
Day 58: Pipersville, PA to Brooklyn, NY- 85 miles, Total 3577.6 miles We couldn’t have found a better place to spend our final night. Chris Shaw’s home proved nothing short of an oasis and such a great closure to our sleeping away from home. Thanks again, Chris! Eager to hit the road, we did a [...]
Coming Soon
We’re home, our final day post is coming soon. We’ve been running around to various states to collect our strewn belongings. Please check back, as we plan to move into another phase with the site.
House in the Country
Day 57: Lancaster, PA to Pipersville, PA- 72.29 miles, Total 3492.6 miles With yesterday’s unforeseen rain delay, we decided on an early start. Somehow, we rose to our 6am alarm. Partially excited for Amish country in the sun (versus the deluge) and partially excited to get to Chris Shaw’s house (which he graciously offered up). [...]
