    I thought Yehuda lived at the shop?

    Reminds me of the time I was accused of riding my bike through the yard, shortly after taking some things to the burn pile, in the wheelbarrow.

      Naw… He and Idle are shacking up.

      Joe should be able to read tracks better than that. Most times you can tell, even with slush the direction of the vehicle.

        Besides you should be able to tell a bike from a car, because there’s the inevitable ‘wobble’ of the steering wheel.
        Sherlock Holmes probably would give you speed as well as direction based on a track …

      I think he’s bunking with Idle Crossing now.

    Wouldn’t there be 3 tracks then?

      Not if Joe came in from another direction out of frame

      No, because as a Bicycle Jedi, Yehuda is copying the Sand People of Tattooine, and has ridden back over his original set of tracks do disguise his numbers. CCTV footage reveals that there was actually a Fat Bike Critical Mass ride to the Kickstand this morning…

    Personally, I think that Rick has done a lot with just a few lines. Very subtle impressions that tell a story.

    Well Done. I LIKE it! :-)

    The third set of tracks must be superimposed on the first.

    Confucius Say…. A bicycle can’t stand on its own because it is two-tired.

    Of course it is impossible for Yehuda to drive to work since (as far as we know) he does not own a car.

    Somewhat related… Fresh snow in Montréal today, but I didn’t ride to work since I live close enough to walk.

    Yehuda does not salmon. The tracks he made returning home to retrieve the missing item would be on the opposite side of the street, not right next to the first set of tracks. The two adjacent tracks are from the two trips to the kickstand.

      On the main roads Yehuda rides on the correct side of the road and leaves tyre tracks that are indeed too far apart to be mistaken as car tracks. But the other traffic would churn these up. The two in the first frame left on virgin snow and unsuperceded are those left when he left the road and rode into the kickstand and out again so could well be that close together.

    OK, I think we need Sherlock Holmes here with his unsurpassed skills at deducing past events from tracks.

    Sure that isn’t a bicycle trail, where the tire tracks in each direction are about the width of a car? Of course, even Fat tires 4.7 in, is about half the width of modern car tires, and spherical cross section instead of flat. But weren’t Model T / A tires about 3-4 inches wide and circular cross section?

Who’s Yehuda Moon?

Yehuda Moon works at the Kickstand Cyclery, lives on his bicycle and dreams of a day when everyone does likewise.

The comic strip is about two guys who run a bike shop and the challenges they face in the store and on the road. Yehuda‘s the utilitarian advocate; Joe‘s the go-fast pragmatist. Thistle Gin, a wrench and biking mom, rounds them out.
