Both cities have more than ten bicycle shops. Both have a sharp business dude importing European bikes and selling them for a huge markup. Portland has more framebuilders; and therefore has more out of work framebuilders – due to Portland’s proximity to Oregon. Seattle has nuances that keep it interesting, and so does Portland, but [...]

i’m not doping.  i’m trying to fit in here again.  i’m probably the smartest person on the whole site here, but i just haven’t chimed in lately to say anything about it because i’ve been too busy racking up impossibly high percent results in classes such as Math 140 and English 112.  then i got [...]

This should just about wrap up my take on Interbike 2010. Give it a read, then we can get back to shit-talking dopers, riding, and drinking. By the time Thursday rolled around, I really had nothing else to do. My show was pretty much over as soon as I took a drink with Eddy. The experience was [...]

I really can’t think of anything else to say other than: Eddy Merckx is a drunkcyclist. Oh, and ask Reverend Dick about his first tattoo.

From: el jefe Subject: I didn’t know hipsters needed area rugs for their lofts… So, when you own a home, you get on all sorts of mailing lists. I’m not sure how I got on the list for modern hipster area rugs, but I thought I’d share… If the neon on the cover doesn’t permanently [...]

This vid is getting knocked around the interwebs. Not sure what I think of all of the issue presented yet. Well, not in the sense that I can artfully articulate them aside from simple stating: bikes belong. But, we all knew that much already. Two simple words with a whole lot of gloss. Anyway, get [...]

I made it home. Somehow. This is the last picture on my camera from this past week. It is from the All Hail The Black Market /Soulcraft party. I take back anything I might have said about kids from Cali not knowing how to party. These guys are top notch. I took a lot of pictures and [...]

Case Flakeman wrote me a text message. i need a fucking bike ride, son! I hope we all find what we’re looking for.

As my friends and ‘constituents’ make the sojourn to the Nevada desert, I am sadly at home missing out on the fun that is Interbike. I decided not to go this year, and I am sad for that decision, but I figured since I’m heading to Denver this weekend, one long distance trip is plenty [...]

Got this gem in the inbox from my buddy Bergy down in Victor, ID: Yo Andrew, What up dude?  Find your fixie girl yet? Thanks for help with the PR. www.moosecross.com October 2+3 I’ll know in a day or two for sure, but this year we are hoping to re-route part of the course around [...]

My first ‘cross race of the season is Saturday. It’s really just a practice race for the OVCX series opener on Sunday. No points for Saturdays race, but it’s good practice for me. I am looking forward to a sufferfest. Last year’s popular format of a non-points “pre-season” race on Saturday followed by the season-opener [...]

So lets forget all the bullshit about Interbike going back to Cali. We still have one year left in Sin City and the festivities start for me this Sunday when I post up for the afternoon at Rehab. It seems like a fine way to kick off 4 days of bike related activity. Now my question [...]
