I’m not ashamed to admit it, I had a photo of Bjarne Riis I cut out of some cycling magazine on the front door of my fridge back in ’96.
My hero was a junkie.
Oh well. At least he hasn’t killed anyone.

Seen on a sticker in Portland last weekend:
“Fixies are the new Rollerblades.”Fruit Booters Unite!
Ah yes, that one ought to sting a little.

Seriously guys… 4 million minimum???? Jeeez…
Yeah. I wasted my early twenties on girls my same age. I had no idea what was at stake…
Can I get a do-over?

All I know is that when that boy loses his job next year… there’s probably going to be some peeps looking for him, eh?

So like the reason he beat Jan is that he took more dope than Jan

“Fruitbooting boy-toy looking for some cougar action. Capable of drinking with the boys and still grinding out some cougar-love after the party’s over.”
Like the saying goes…
‘I might be too drunk to fuck, but I’m never too drunk to try.’

uh, guys…dopamine, runner’s high, that look in people’s eye when they hear the weekly mileage.
figure it out.
pretty much anyone who turns a crank that much is some kind of junkie.
racer’s especially go down that road a lot.
part of life as a meat machine.
not a pretty part.

The asian “cougar” at the beginning of the video was pretty cute, but that nasty old bleach-blonde meat that was getting all the camera time towards the end was unacceptable. Who cares if she buys you nice shit? A fleet of custom-built Seven’s or IF’s wouldn’t take the sting out of all those evenings that you spent with your face buried in a sweaty catcher’s mitt of prolapsed flesh.

I was a Ski Instructor in Vail as a 19-20 year old. Man that stuff flowed like water. All I wanted to do was blast powder and Race Bikes. God I was dumb.
February 22nd, 2008 at 11:31 am
for a cool 4mil, I’ll take the catcher’s mit sandmich in a heartbeat. Really guys, if you have to tag it twice a week for a year, the math is about $35,000 everytime you give her the “o”. Shit, my wife would probably insist I do it. We would still both walk away with 2mil each (get it?)
grrrrrowl…

Interesting. I saw it the exact opposite. Takes all kinds.

…do french announcers take a course on ‘how to talk through your nose’ ???…
…money, money, money ! jeezus, now it’s all about the money…
… when i was a young man, i had integrity, dammit…i had cougar on the side, not cuz i wanted her money, but because she gave the best head in the world…
…just honestly sayin’…

Saw Bjarne on Wednesday in SanJo and all that kept crossing through my mind was “60%”.
Portland is the land of the fixies, saw many of them before I ended up in the gay bar during the handmade show weekend.

“fixies are the new rollerblades” Now that is some funny shit.
I used to cheer for Tyler, Lance, Landis etc. They are strong cyclists regardless. Little doping puts the icing on the cake.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:36 am
Hmmm I thought 29ers were the new rollerblades
February 26th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
29′r off road fixxies are not rollerblades.. they’re worse, which ois funny cuz i think rollerblades are great, but then again i grew up on ice so i’ve no problem sliding along.. and regardless of how much anomosity people have to peddle i can still watch someone attack repeatedly on a climb and get excited.. so aaaanyway
