Stopped in at the local IBD yesterday and the owner was leaning up against his latest build. It looked so sweet I asked for pics to share because something like this needs to be appreciated. No better place to do it than here. In his words: Here you are. IF steel planet cross frame. Hand [...]

Tuesdays with Dirty:Through the Lens
This should just about wrap up most of the content from my fatbike trip down to Mexico. Although I have been known to take off for days on end on a pretty regular basis this trip was different in a few ways. In 15 years of doing this, I had never toured with another person, [...]
Video for the Weekend
Here is a little snippet of my fatbike trip down in Mexico. We were fortuante enough to have a real deal photographer on this trip and he keeps blowing our minds with the images he made. I asked Devon to put together 10 of his favorite images from the trip with some captions for all of you [...]
The first Christmas bike from Sunday Cycles
Yep. First one. Yesterday afternoon. Cell phone pic on the quick. Came out reasonable under the circumstances. She is stoked. And so am I. Joe handles the biz like a whiz. Push it forward. A very Happy Holidaze to each and every one of you.
Christopher Hitchens
Perhaps not a true cyclist in the terms many would commonly employ. But, the man certainly could ride a bicycle if and when he chose to. It goes without saying that he could drink (more than most mere mortals). And, boy could he write.

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 [...]
Hawk Werk
I dig what Hawk does. Not only that he’s inhouse, but then that he gets it done all around. So here goes; This work fronts for Estate Skate Shop over in the chapel hill. He’s got one of those kinds of jobs that is better than your vacation. Right? I look at that shit for [...]
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 [...]
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? [...]
Photo from Mexico
So, I’m home sick (what else is new) and I get this message from my man Dirty Biker. 10am in mexico. Motherfucker is living the dream. You know what I like about taking antibiotics for a sinus infection? I don’t like anything about taking antibiotics for a sinus infection.
You Ain’t Reached the Top Until…
You’re always climbing in Flagstaff. Anyone who has ridden there knows the first hour of the ride, at least, will be all uphill. You may get a brief respite during the twilight of your ride, but you’ll go back to town, take off your bike clothes, stow your ride away, and it’s all uphill [...]
