I just received these pictures from our war correspondent, AfghanBMXer. He stumbled upon this guy named Abdula who owns a little bicycle repair shop. It’s down a back alley from the central shopping area in the city of Shahjoy. I asked him what the town was like and if he got to go for a ride. His only response was: ” [...]

Ullrich confession imminent?
To say he’s got a lot to talk about may be the greatest understatement of the century. Former Tour de France champion Jan Ullrich of Germany appears ready to come clean at last and confess to doping in his career, his manager Falk Nier suggested on Tuesday ahead of an expected Court of Arbitration for [...]
La legende Greg Lemond
Even though I don’t really speak or understand any French, I think the message is pretty clear on this one, baller. In the early 80′s, this guy inspired me to ride my bike and kept me going through many a ride. Back in those days we had wait for Winning Magazine to come out in [...]
DACCORDI – Italian for HERPES SIMPLEX 10
Stole this from the Hodala Facebook page. She’s fucking N-A-S-T-Y.
You Ever Been to (New) Mexeeecooo???
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 [...]

Greasewipe #1: A Man With a Can
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 [...]
DC: Bringing people together to ride bikes.
Last month I got an email from a DC reader, Russell from PA. He said he would be in Cincinnati during the Thanksgiving holiday and did I know of any good trails to ride. I responded that this time of year, the trails are usually closed due to rain. I told him I’d keep an [...]
Thankful for Holidays
The day before Thanksgiving is always Wednesday and is a national drinking holiday. We also have weekly Wednesday night rides here in my town. Because of this amazing coincidence, I decided that we should have an extra special ride this week. Like usual we started at our favorite bar but we had an extra treat this night, the tapping of the [...]
Cold cock Thursdays with Cavey…
This morning I woke up from a bad night of sleep and started off not in a good mood- felt kind of like taking the shot gun (I live in the country pretty much) and blasting a few rounds in the sky but that didn’t happen. I went out and hung with my goats and [...]
Tuesdays with Dirty: Whiskey, Rock ‘n Roll, and Singletrack
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 [...]
