Cipo at Gent Wevelgem in 2003. He won it in 2002, . But 2003 went to Andreas Klier. This was not Cipo’s year. He was, in fact, disqualified for throwing two water bottles at one of the commissaires. Yep. He’s got quite the arm. This next vid, is, um, fucking hilarious. This translation/explanation from cyclinginquisition.blogspot.com: Read the full article…

I’m pretty happy with the mailbox I finished. Its base is 100x more permanent than a fir post – it is a Mercedes crankshaft in concrete. An American tradition – the creative mailbox. People will see this. *living the dream* we like to say. People will see what I write. Several years ago, after finishing Read the full article…

It’s a secret. Well, it was a secret till now. I have been riding under the cloud of secrecy. Its easy to fall through the cracks down here in Tucson. So many roads, so many miles. People don’t know if your riding or not. They can only see that your tan and your have a Read the full article…

Hey yo – thanks for that intro Gnome, and thanks for asking me to write for DC. A few things about me….. 1. I was a bike messenger in San Francisco in the early 90′s. 2. That city chewed me up and spit me out. 3. I spent 4 months in a drug rehab detoxing Read the full article…

BikeSnob, as he is prone to, nailed this one in a recent post. And, yes, I don’t even try to be current. I just talk about what everyone else is already talking about. Since the invention of moving pictures, only pornographers and the Nazis have documented their endeavors on camera more assiduously than the “bike Read the full article…

I caught this piece on NPR the other day as I was eating lunch. It was one of those moments where everything stopped. I sat, still, quietly, at the kitchen table. My lunch was long gone, and still I remained, listening to the entire program before I arose from by chair. I went straight to Read the full article…

In no particular order, I present the randomness of my experiences. This is what my view looked like as the girls napped last week. Yes, I was on the rollers in the kitchen. Big Kitchen gets it done.
