About JP

Jacquie Phelan was born In San Francisco, circa 1955, kicking and screaming.

Actually, she was pedaling vigorous circles in anticipation of future Greatness.
Part rodent, part marsupial, and all too disappointingly human, Jacquie writes,  races , commutes by bike, cooks, sews badly, tirelessly talks (she’s a gollyplot correspondent,)  thinks she’s a chanteuse,  but is really a social engineer, wife and muse.

Odd are. she’s goofing off as you read this.

This “compulsive gamboler” was born the first of six black sheep in an alcohol-spiked Irish family where estrangement was the norm, and connection the exception.

Hence all those the faux families –WOMBATS,  the Knobby Nobility (folks I raced with in the eighties are all ‘royal’), you, my cherished reader/riders, and Salivation Army leftenants.  Any of which is almost as good as having flesh-and-blood relatives when it comes to good company, good eats and long-term amity & enmity. Dangerous Aunt Jacquie has four amazing nephews: Jacob and Jon Wilson (Jill and Bill’s PBC choirboys) and Conrad & Wib (Greg & Becky’s sports team) Phelan.

Phelan’s elective family is named Cunningham, aka Cleverbacon. Charlie, her husband, is a legend in his own right. and My ‘mother-in-love’ is  book artist Carol Cunningham.

JP, also known as Alice B. Toeclips (or Gloria Stitz when playing the fretless banjo, and Her Royal Mudjesty when sitting around opining) stars in her very own situation comedy, complete with cheesy laugh track.

To her, “life” is simply an improvised performance that began around 1955 when she used all her charm to get a terribily distracted  mom’s attention.

These days , Phelan’s laying down train track as fast as she can pull it from her bag of trucs, and where it stops nobody knows….

If you write a comment, there’s a good chance you’ll get a reply from this  ecotistical wild woman with a little too much “time honor hands”.

Listen to this Europop song, ALL BEHIND, a ditty about an un-catchable racer who leaves them “all behind”… by Swiss punk rocker and man of many strings Olivier Vuille.

Or catch the 1/29/07 Josh Kornbluth Show “Choppers and Breezers” and see JP and Joe Breeze share their views of pioneer-osity.
