Tomorrow is April 7th. This is the day in 1933 that beer was legalized after the 13 year prohibition. So, grab yourself a beer and raise your glass to FDR for allowing this glorious thing to happen.
“At 12:01 a.m. on April 7, 1933, sirens, fire alarms and train whistles shrieked. In Chicago, [...]

Oh man. Motherfucking DC Representative Reichel & Kate rolled into town last night. They broke me in real good. We chilled at FBC, drank beer & reminisced about our origins into bikes. Talked about King, Palmer, Lopes and all those hoods that made it when the money flowed like swill, and long rides and other [...]

It being, you know, that time of year when folks tend to make their resolutions, I am going to try and do something like that now. It’s early, sure, but why the fuck not?
First, try to take myself less serious. Seriously, my job is stressful at times, and I think I take it too serious. [...]

Being ever so scientific minded and having been presented over the years with a number of “sure-fire” hangover cures, I thought it was high time to cut through the crap and do a little scientific research. Put it to rest once-and-for-all, as it were.
While there are any number of fixes for the brown-bottle [...]

This isn’t exactly recent. I’ve been busy. Sue me.

Call for a big drink.

First, full disclosure here, I am ethnically French, mostly French Canadian (yeah, that’s right, we DO NOT claim Celine Dion I can guarantee you that), but I still have some roots from the Normandy region of France. Most would mistake me for Italian, or as others have mentioned before, I look sort of like a [...]

One More reminder… It’s official. Tucson Bars On Bikes.

It’s proper etiquette that if you’re going to have a bike swap, you’re going to need a B.O.B. if at least, to catch up with good friends and drink with them, straight into the gutter…

It has been four years since Kyle left us. I got an email from his sister Abby this week.

Hey Jonny,
It’s been awhile. Hope things are well for all of you. You can forward this to anyone you think would appreciate it. Since Kyle’s anniversary in here on Nov. 7, I wanted [...]

Many of us, over these past few months, have been thinking… “what does defecting actually entail?”
And in that, should you, by the end of today, have incredible motivation to leave the country, keep in mind the compromise that one of our ex-pat brethren faces on a daily basis in Canada of all places… the excessive [...]

You can thank me later. This is the only thing thats going to get me through today.

HAWK DO ART

This guy did the after party, which was rad, because I have a total mancrush on him, and he KILLS the turntables. You may not care about that kind [...]

this one fit the bill.
If you bought $1000 of stock a year ago, you would now have:
$91.28 if you bought Washington Mutual
$37.50 if you bought Neomagic
$21.29 if you bought Freddie Mac
$20.79 if you bought Fannie Mae
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the [...]

How do you get a poster home from Interbike?
First you eat it, and then you poop it out.
Eat, then poop.
Eat then poop!
Wise words from Sov as day three closed, and all the tradeshow coverage you truly need this year.

I don’t know the woman who wrote me this email, but I aim to rectify that problem right quick.

From BBC news :

Max Motors in Butler, Missouri, says sales have quadrupled since the start of the offer.
Customers can choose between a gun or a $250 (£125) gas card, but most so far have chosen the gun.
Owner Mark Muller [...]

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition! Historians note that Prohibition officially ended on December 5, 1933, with the ratification of the 21st Amendment. But earlier that year, newly-elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt took steps to fulfill his campaign promise to [...]
