Lessons of our Childhood
Remember the time the three of us
played crack the whip
and Greg crashed his bike so bad
he had to go to the hospital?
That moldy old rope we were using
got all wrapped up in his front wheel.
Our quiet neighborhood street shook
with thunder when he slammed the pavement.
I ran into tell Mom.
She scooped him up [...]

I mentioned in a previous post that the Tour de Fat has been cancelled for 2008. And, most likely, beyond.
The bash of bands, bad wigs and binge drinking known as Tour de Fat won’t be coming to Flagstaff this fall, and possibly won’t ever return.
Finding Wheeler Park too small, the growing crowds too drunk [...]

I call this good news:
A Spanish businessman withdrew a controversial lawsuit Wednesday against the family of a teenage boy he struck and killed while driving a luxury car.
Tomas Delgado had filed a suit asking the dead boy’s parents to pay him €20,000 ($29,400) on the grounds that the collision that killed their teenage son also [...]

Hey Big J;
Now that I’m living back in sunny Newport Beach, I’ve been riding Pacific Coast Hwy a bit. One day I got completely shelled by the group after 25 miles. I’m stuck about a 1/4 mile back by myself playing catch up and praying they hit red lights or [...]

Randy
He came at night, dinnertime
His car parked down the hill along the roadway,
The snow was falling diagonally behind him,
the flakes lit with the glow of the front porch light.
Come on in, friend.
Where’ve you been, where’re you heading?
Can I get you a drink?
He sits to eat with the family.
Say hi to Uncle Randy, Sophia,
He’s a dirt [...]

I will never understand how search engines work.
I mean, I understand it in a general sense. As much as I understand anything, I suppose. But how in the hell did the phrase “guys with huge boners” bring up this site from a search engine query 155 times so far this month?

Keyphrases [...]

The United States used waterboarding in terrorism interrogations but no longer does, a former U.S. spy chief said in the Bush administration’s clearest confirmation of the technique’s use.
Oh, now the line is “we used to do it…”
U.S. officials have been reluctant to acknowledge the CIA’s use of the simulated drowning technique, which human rights groups [...]

Two rednecks are out hunting, and as they’re walking along they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it.
The first hunter says ” Wow, that’s some hole, I can’t even see the bottom, I wonder how deep it is?” The second hunter says” [...]

The Tour de Fat is not going to happen in Flagstaff this year. And it may not ever happen again.
I’ve known this for a few weeks now, but wasn’t sure what to say about it. Or how.
But, Melissa with FBO has put up a post that lays it all out:
Our friends at [...]

I first heard these guys on the radio while I drove over to Pun’s place one time. It was their tune “Munich”, it caught my ear and then some. I checked ‘em out online, like immediately. Pun made fun of me. Everything was good in the world.

Oh my…
With their habit of racing along pedestrian-filled sidewalks and ignoring the rules of the road, bicycles have long been a scourge of Japan’s city streets.
But perhaps no longer. The National Police Agency (NPA) — never mind the nation’s pedestrians and motorists — has had enough, according to Weekly Playboy. This spring, cops nationwide are [...]

These guys are off the chain crazy. But this should at least answer the question as to what happens with a B sample once the A sample clears.
I would think it would be destroyed.

but this kid is fucking it up wood-style.
16 year-old high school student Marco Facciola built a bike out of wood. I’m talking every part is made out of wood. Pretty damn impressive. “Marco had to complete this as a non-academic project for his International Baccalaureate, and inspiration came from his grandfather, forced to [...]

Hey Jonny,
A friend and former Flagstaff resident, Mike Mckay, died on Friday in an avalanche in California. He worked at Singletrack Bikes and was a member of the NAU cycling team.
This kid was every bit of the word Classy.

Duuuude,
On the way to a local bar to make time with a hot bartender, I bumped into a party at the end of my street. All of my biker buddies were there whooping it up. Oh yeah, I left my house at 2am…
So I go inside, feeling the [...]
