The titular character ran a bike shop, the Kickstand Cyclery, with his friend Joe, and was often confronted with the challenges presented by his daily bicycle commute and the customers (or lack thereof) at his bike shop. Various characters included: the bike ninja, the bike hypochondriac, the ghost of the previous owner - Fred, the Shakers who built the bicycle frames, Thistle who worked in the shop with Yehuda and Joe, neighborhood kids, roadies, and commuters. Yehuda advocates simple, traditional, functional biking as espoused by the philosophy of Grant Petersen of Rivendell Bicycle Works. His shop partner Joe acts as a foil to Yehuda and prefers a more performance- or racing-oriented style. In recent strips, the original Kickstand Cyclery has burned to the ground and a new shop is being constructed.The author admired the work of Harold Gray, Chester Gould, Frank King, and James Kochalka.A square-bound softcover print collection, reprinting the first 12 months of strips from January through December 31, 2008, was available. A second volume containing the 2009 strips was announced but delayed.Brian Griggs joined as a writer in late Spring 2010.As of September 2011, the comic stopped updating, and a strip was posted that simply read "That's all, Folks." The author has indicated that he is working to cancel active subscriptions, and also that he is stopping the strip due to the demands of his day job and family. A final strip, echoing the visuals and structure of the very first strip, was subsequently posted.After a massive outpouring of support and entreaties by disappointed readers to resume the strip, Rick relented and Yehuda Moon returned as a subscription feature on a five-day publication schedule.
