Thanks to Hooligan for posting a link to this video in the comment section. This is the supposed HD version of the video. But, to be honest, I can’t tell the difference between them on this machine (yes, I watched both).
Parijs Roubaix 2011
De Vlaeminck holds forth
De Vlaeminck likes Cancellara for Roubaix: “He can win on Sunday by dropping Boonen. I like Cancellara, he attacks and races with panache. Everyone rode against him at Flanders, even the mechanics of the other teams who wouldn’t give him a bottle. That was scandalous. But he was the strongest. Boonen is a good rider [...]
It rolls deep
Shot of my driveway on Friday afternoon. Yes, my girls ride each and every one of them. And, yes, there are a few more in the garage. I asked my eldest if she liked having so many bikes. She replied, “You can never have too many bikes, Dad.” Well played.

Local Happenings (AZ)
I have a couple events to tell you about. If you are not in Arizona, feel free to stop reading now. It looks like the lovely boys and girls over at T.B.A.G. are planning another bike party. This one involves a city park, local beer, local music, local food (I’m sensing a theme here), and [...]

Confusing the Seasons
Well well well. I haven’t done much on this site since Old Pueblo except write some innocuous comments on random posts and piss off at least one lady who commented that she’d never read this site again. It’s probably for the best, ma’am. Really. I asked the Gnome if it would be cool if I [...]
My neighborhood framebuilder: Ed of LaSuprema Bicycles
Right on Main Avenue, near the train tracks and the Western edge of the Dunbar Spring neighborhood, is a building housing Jimbo, a cyclist woodworker, and Ed, a frame builder in the early prime of his career. Pistol Pete owns one. That man is as serious as they come when it comes to expedition bicycle [...]
Bicycle Film Festival
I was just checking out Jimmy’s FuckGas blog and saw this rad video. The mix of the music is superb too. :37 is my favorite. The Bicycle Film Festival is accepting submissions until 4/1/11. I think Caveman should enter some of his shit.
NAHBS recap…
For some reason, last year I went to the NAHBS in Richmond, VA (great show gents, great show), and never posted my pics. So, here, for your viewing pleasures, are some pictures from last year’s show to get you pumped and primed for this year’s show in Austin. For those of you going, have a [...]
The Need for Tweed
Our good friends over at T.B.A.G. are putting on a fine little group ride this Friday. I would highly recommend this if you are in the greater Phoenix area. They are hitting up some quality establishments with some good distances between them. I won’t be there since i am committed to another little ride this weekend. But [...]
Marco Pantani (January 13, 1970 – February 14, 2004)
May you rest in peace, Marco. You were once a King. When I think of Marco Pantani, I first think of a photo from the French newspaper, L’Equipe. On Stage 12 of the Tour de France, along with the rest of the peloton, Marco sits in the middle of the road, his bike next to [...]
