This video makes me smile and cringe (Sminge?) all at the same time. *poached from hellingham. A few months ago I posted some pictures from the 35th anniversary of Repack and this week we received a little helmet cam footage from that day. There is no editing and no music…but you get a great feel of the ride Read the full article…

There comes the time in all of our lives when we need to make the decision: to #occupybikeseat or not. Being a reader of this site, you’d think it’s an easy question right? WRONG! There is a bitch in all of us and today I feel like slappin’ a bitch and setting things right. This Read the full article…

I was fortunate to get invited to Test some bikes with Paintrain, LB, Aaron and Jen from Outside mag for a few days this past week down in Tucson. I was only man enough for two days of riding and I now have a lot more respect for product tests like this: they spent 6 Read the full article…

Really. Just read it ten minutes ago. After more than a week in court, plaintiff Specialized was left with just one charge against Volagi, breach of contract by the two former employees. Just before noon, local time the verdicts came in: Robert Choi guilty of breach of contract. Barley Forsman, not guilty. But the message Read the full article…

These past two months have been busy for me, and while I am aware that the things I am dealing with pale in comparison to what others’ go through on a daily basis, I am rather happy that November and December are in the rearview.  School and other distractions got in the way of riding, Read the full article…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything except a video, or a picture. Mostly, I just haven’t had anything to say. My posts here are different from the posts on my personal blog, just cuz this is DC and we like to talk about bikes on DC. I haven’t been doing too much riding Read the full article…

For the past two weeks I have been trying to write a trip report for my last bike tour. It has proven to be a much harder task than normal. I just can’t seem to find the right words to sum up such an intense trip. A trip that left me completely thrashed for a week afterwards and still Read the full article…

Since my Thanksgiving trip to Santa Fe, I haven’t been riding a whole lot. Instead, I’ve been searching for a new job (getting laid off at the end of the month) and trying to get my photo business off the ground. I have ridden a few times, and each time has been stellar.

Let me tell you about my November, because it’s been pretty damn good.   Let’s start from the beginning. This first point may have actually taken place in October…I’m never really sober enough to remember details like that. Anyway, I headed up to Denver to see my little brother’s band, The Acacia Strain. They are Read the full article…

Well, this is the first official Greasewipe.  It’s Saturday morning, it might be cold out, heads may hurt, legs may hurt more, but nothing hurts worse than trying to climb a beer-pyramid-steep hill in your big ring when the sum of your wattage is coming from a smoldering lump of beer calories and your wife’s Read the full article…

4:30am on Saturday morning found me lugging my packed singlespeed through the airport once again. I really have no idea how people function sober at this time of day. I board my 6am flight for Nashville and the last thought that goes through my head before I fall asleep is “this better be worth it” The plan was Read the full article…
