Green war paint for the pedals

I went out to CDA, ID today for a local cross race to yell at people and show off my dog to everyone. As I was walking through the parking lot pretty buzzed, I saw this cat painting his pedals with anti freeze- I don’t know really how good it works but it sure looked [...]

Bikes for Kidz

The Free Bikes 4 Kidz program in Minneapolis needs volunteers. If you are in the area, help them out. It’s good karma. Free Bikes 4 Kidz is a passionate group of cyclists who love giving as much as riding. It’s our goal to help every child feel the joys and freedom of riding his or [...]

Boozerman

Our friends over at Hub Event Productions put on a little race last weekend here in Tempe, AZ called the Cruiserman. Technically, it was a triathlon, but it is one like you have never seen. Do the swim with any floatation device you want, ride a beach cruiser a few miles, run a little bit, then drink a free [...]

DC/iD

Recently, DC was featured in an article about cycling blogs in i-D Magazine from the UK. I just wanted to share  our little blurb from the piece: Fresh from finishing law school, the drunk cyclist has been falling off the wagon for over a decade, publishing his muses on racing, roads and Raleigh riding. Dedicating his life [...]

And Now Introducing….

Hello, doods.  I’m announcing the beginning of a new area, or era, or __arrhea on the site here.  It is my promise to you– with my centuries of experience in shops, dealing with confused customers, drug-addled coworkers, cheating whores for a boss, and fishing with grandpa– that I can answer your questions.  I’m starting and advice and [...]

November. Rain, mud, clouds.

Cyclocross season. Mine ended. I am over it. Apparently, Georgia Gould’s season is over too. Katie is fucking killing it though. The Cincinnati UCI3 CX pictures are up, and Jeffrey is really good at getting some funny shots. This one made me laugh out loud. Speaking of CX…. It looks as though Louisville ‘Cross Worlds [...]

fuck, really?

Let’s dance to Pauls tune, a bunch of SF tap dancing bullshit. Listen here bran muffin, your letter to us all was some sorry donkey fucking bullshit that makes the USA look fucking weak. So my idea is this- quit being a butter sandwich and let it all flow. Protecting the blades of grass? you [...]

Jobst Brandt on the Passo di Gavia, c. 1970s

I’ve seen this image before, countless times, and in countless other places. It draws me in. Works every time. It is the Colt 45 of cycling photos. The time and place just floor me. Man. Bike. Mountain. Touring. At one’s leisure. Stop and fire up a coffee? Have a sandwich and check out the view? [...]

A blow up doll at USGP – NOT LEGAL!

I got this video from CyclingDirt.com. The UCI official that ended the fun was at the Cincy3 UCI races the weekend before. He yelled at me on Friday for not wearing a helmet while riding my bike to where the pressure washer was after I raced. And then on Sunday, I found out he is [...]

Tuesdays with Dirty: I think I’m Addicted

Due to my work schedule, I am fortunate enough to have 3 and 4 day weekends on a regular basis. This usually results in a lot of traveling and time away from home. This weekend I decided to force myself to stay home, catch up with friends, and ride some local trails that I haven’t [...]

He is harder than you.

This is Charles. He lost his arm in a train accident. Charles doesn’t let that get in the way of riding his bike, or racing CX. Right now, he’s at training camp for the Paralympic Cycling team. Photo Source: Jeffrey Jakucyk.

That had to sting

I should note, I don’t know where I got this .gif. It’s all over the web these days. I’ve no idea who to credit. It may have been an email, tweet, tumblr post. No idea. Sorry ’bout that.
