Our collective apologies for all of us at DC for being a couple days late on this one, but SDMB won the $50,000 award to help protect mountain and desert trails from development. SDMB freaking WON the $50K grant to build, maintain, and educate about trails!  Thanks go out to the DC brethren that helped [...]

First thing: Way cool. One of my favorite comedians, Patton Oswalt, is coming to the Rialto Theater on the 29th of April. F for Fat Fuck Nation. Patton, if you can read this, please make some jokes about this ridiculous irony I see every day, to change my anger to laughter, because frankly, this shit [...]

Tucson Bike Swap website. For the price of a needed radiator, a frame jig will be for sale one day only at Gaba Bike Swap tomorrow morning. It is a fund raiser for my auto parts counter addiction. I will also have some other parts to sell, and will have the stand set up, with [...]

Card Carrying Endurance BadAss Jay Petervary is doing what he does best, riding his bike for long distances in a short period of time. Welcome to the No Idle Tour. I am Jay Petervary of Victor, Idaho and I have been endurance racing for over 15 years in some of the most spectacular places that [...]

I posted a reply to someone else’s post about Congresswoman Gifford’s status, in essence calling bullshit on the whole, “I heard it form a guy whose mom went to a website run by someone who has inside information…” Straw men arguments and heresay bullshit need to be stopped short and fast. It seems like everyone [...]

More importantly – how much rest is enough rest? I had a day off the bike on Saturday, which basically meant I rode with the dog 2 miles, and that was it. This was the first day off the bike in over 45 days. A few days ago, a poorly attended-to pit bull puppy jumped [...]

Granted spring is just around the corner, but for the folks who call Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming home, this is becoming a big ticket issue.  So I pose the question that many others have already asked: should snow bikes be allowed in Yellowstone during the winter?  I first caught wind of all this from my [...]

I had more than one reason to hit up BICAS. So I did, and for the hundredth or so time up and down this coast I asked, “Do you have a 1″ threadless riser stem?” And, of course the answer was: “Check the bucket.” I could not believe my caliper reading. A rare rare item. [...]

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 [...]

Dear Boston Motorists, Lets make one thing crystal clear. Cyclists are not slowing you down. You read that correctly, cyclists are not the reason you are not going as fast as you want to go. “But what about when they ride in the street!!!!!11(sic)!!!” No, stop it. Listen. C Y C L I S T [...]

Back in September, at Interbike, I drank some whiskey with some pretty cool guys. I only got pictures of a few of them, and forgot almost all the rest. Then a few weeks ago I was pedaling my townie to the pub when I had a bit of a whiskey flashback. It dawned on me that I threw back  some Old Grand Dad at the AHTBM [...]

I got an email today from my buddy Ryan over at T.B.A.G. letting me know about their 3rd Friday Group Ride that is going down tomorrow night. If you are in the greater Phoenix area, this is definitely something to check out.  Beers and bikes on a Friday night, I’m there. He also informed me that next [...]
