This is the greatest thing in the entire world right now.

We’ve all heard about the recent ugliness out of Miami. But, did you know guy is a freaking pop star?

It happens to all of us…
You’re driving along just minding your own business, when all of a sudden – without any warning, this dick in a truck pulls out right in front of you……

Please be careful out there, and stay safe cause they’re [...]

A report in from our South of the Border Correspondent, and everyone’s favorite Uncle, Pistil Pete.

Well, Mazatlan is fun, but too much to hang out in for too long. Of course our man at Kelly’s Bike’s will keep you rollin’ an’ all around the city is fantastic ridin’ but I had to [...]

Yes, indeed. Spring is coming. And, with it, pain. My man Legs told me he was “logging some miles trying to get ready for our spring camps.” Yeah, I’ll say he is. Take a look at the pic. Mind numbing. Turn circles. Eat. Turn [...]

Look closely at the image. How quick is our imagination?

An excellent question. I’d say my imagination is pretty damn quick. How ’bout yours?

I’ve a question of my own – do we see what we want to see?

I have only been riding in my Chinese town for 8 months.
I am the only white guy cyclist in a city of a few hundred thousand people. My biggest fear is that I will be hit by a car that is trying to avoid someone doing something stupid. Its just [...]

Cipo at Gent Wevelgem in 2003. He won it in 2002, . But 2003 went to Andreas Klier. This was not Cipo’s year.
He was, in fact, disqualified for throwing two water bottles at one of the commissaires.

Yep. He’s got quite the arm.
This next vid, is, um, fucking hilarious. [...]

I don’t have a good way to kick off an article like this. Words like “psycho”, “wacky”, or “ridiculous” don’t seem to do it justice.

A Bayfield man who used his pickup to run bicyclists off the road was given probation Thursday after pleading guilty to reckless endangerment and felony menacing.
Todd Grooms, 41, wasn’t facing [...]

BikeSnob, as he is prone to, nailed this one in a recent post. And, yes, I don’t even try to be current. I just talk about what everyone else is already talking about.
Since the invention of moving pictures, only pornographers and the Nazis have documented their endeavors on camera more assiduously than the [...]

Dr. Thompson faces his destiny.
The culmination of it all fell upon this man like a ton of bricks. And I, having seen a man likewise sentenced to five years incarceration for what he did to me with his automobile… I have little sympathy.

A doctor convicted of assaulting two bicyclists by slamming on his car [...]

I caught this piece on NPR the other day as I was eating lunch. It was one of those moments where everything stopped. I sat, still, quietly, at the kitchen table. My lunch was long gone, and still I remained, listening to the entire program before I arose from by chair. [...]

David Longdon was injured doing what he loves – biking – when a minivan forced him off of Highway 202 and into a ditch.
“I’m broken up and I can’t sleep. And the pain is pretty severe right now,” he said.
Longdon was riding with the Starbucks Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Racing Team when he and others [...]

In no particular order, I present the randomness of my experiences. This is what my view looked like as the girls napped last week. Yes, I was on the rollers in the kitchen. Big Kitchen gets it done.

I’ve had the time to see some quality television these last three weeks. And, [...]

That ain’t no 28mm lens.
That ain’t barrel distortion.
You’re getting a contact high.
You can thank me later.

The last time we flipped a decade, folks were stocked up on canned goods and paying out the ass to have source code updated. What’d ya mean this thing can’t count past 99? 1900 and 2000 are the same, eh? Awesome. Bring on Y2K. It came and went and we’re [...]

Like it? I love it.

Sometimes you read a few things that make you believe the world is all right.
First up, some folks in Philadelphia pay it forward.

For five hours, strangers bought each other meals at a Philly diner.
It played like a scene from a holiday movie — a mystery couple, who didn’t leave their names or numbers, walked into [...]

I sit in the backyard, chair turned toward the sun, reading a new book.
The sun is warm and good. I need this. Our house was built in 1992. Brand new by east coast standards. Ancient history in the ever expanding, southwestern metropolis of Phoenix. The lawn is manicured, [...]
