There will be bikes

If you’ve seen “There will be Blood” or the trailer for it, there is at least one really well made parody. I couldn’t stop showing it to my friends. It should be seen about 8 times.
There will be bud.

Here is my version:

Fade in, camera on two guys in old suits:

A take on Cochise

Riding with the faster guys was a rush. We were just barreling across the flats in the middle of the night rotating in and out of pulls. I am pretty sheepish to say that I would usually get up to the number 2 position and then have to peel out of it as I would [...]

Monts d’Arrée

From: Pépin
Subject: A ride in Britany
Hi Jonny,
I was here on Sunday. It’s one of the most important MTB meeting in France with almost 6000 people on a 100 km track.
It takes place in the wild and foggy mountains of “Monts d’Arrée”.
A sort of highlands of Britany where even lizards look interested and [...]

Going to the Well

It means different things to all of us. For some it means going to a place that has limited resources. For some it’s going to a better place. For some it’s going to a place for inspiration or energy.
When I was learning the “particulars” of road cycling up in Flagstaff [...]

And we’ll all have gold-plated toilet seats when we get to America.

I sit here a few hours away from getting on the highway to go build some bicycles for the Americans. I’m back in the Circle Mine again and happy to be. I’ve somehow always been able to count on bikes pretty much being the same, me still having all my fingers, and the pay being [...]

Spreads Smooth Like Creamy Peanut Butter

So as of late I have been hi-jacking photos off of a friend of a friend of a distant long lost twice removed cousins web page. Most days when I get home from my salt mine I check to see what the hell the world is up too. Once upon a while ago [...]

Good Feelings

First off this photo was hi-jacked from www.pezcyclingnews.com
Lately I have been jaded towards the sport that I absolutely love. The cheating, doping, who said what bullshit, dumb ass victory salutes, all that shit. It takes away from the sport. Bottom line. Lately I have not wanted to ride. Just some [...]

That’s what its about

For me it’s not about a religious event…or some old fat bearded guy in a red suit. It’s as simple as a new bike for my 9 year old. A kick-ass bike. Never mind that it’s used — barely — but used nonetheless. It’s about the look on his face [...]

A 4 Hour Exercise in Adult Stupidity

This Saturday the 24th my man Damage McGehee will try to beat the UMCA 100 Mile Track Time Trial record. The current time stands at 3 hours 47 minutes and was set by Rod Evans from Australia. It was set on May 8, 1994 at an indoor velodrome in Australia.

a tight box

Here’s a look at my buddy HamFists new bike.

Nothing like a tight box if you want a stiff ride…

Thank you to FORT Frames as this bike managed to win a race on Sunday.  And I’m sure it was the bike, not the rider….

Frostbündt 2008

From: Hurl
Subject: Rad.
actual footage from Frostbündt, QBP’s annual winter bike orgy, 16-February-2008. The rumored Texas Twins Race never materialized, but the combination of not one, but two, steering wheel-equipped rides provides hours of derby enjoyment for the awestruck bystanders. This is rock-n-roll bicycle action when adults on bicycles can revel in the combination [...]

What’d you do today?

Aside from watching the upset game of the year (and winning on it) I was out in the garage getting some one on one workout(s) with my tool(s).
Word. Giants are for real. It’s all about the NFC East. Tom Brady who? What? Huh?
The other week I saw a LeMond frame [...]

Bike collection for us all.

Came across an article in the paper today about bikes. At the end was a link to what I presumed was one of the manufacturers of a cargo-bike. What I got was much cooler, in a way. Allow me to present to you, the loyal DC peruser, SMART MOVE.
„Smart Move“ presents us with the [...]
