A few weeks ago, I had heard some rumors about me. I’m never one to beat around the bush so I decided to confront the guy who I thought may be the source. Come to find out, it was all a big misunderstanding and there was no issue. But this guy said something that has [...]

I got fucked up. Pain pills and cough meds. Stuff I failed to mention in my last post. In fact, I was pretty loaded up on a bottle of hydro-codone cough syrup when I published that post. Shit happens. Bike crashes. Pain pills. I got no control over it. I was in pain. That was [...]

The one and only Domenic Malvestuto. In Arizona, he was known by one name alone. And that was Domenic. He was born in 1943. His bicycle shop was known as Domenic’s Cycling Imports. Or, simply, DCI.

I got out a few times over the last week or so. These pics are at least 10 days old, but what the hell. Spent a little time on my fixed Fondriest. Sure, it’s hotter than all hell here in Phoenix. But, if you get up and get at it, you can enjoy yourself for [...]

Ten years on, it hasn’t gotten much easier to get my head around the brutality and tragedy of that Tuesday morning. I’ve been blogging on this website long enough to show you what I did back then – I over-wrote the main html page so that all that displayed was this: http://drunkcyclist.com/archive/gallery_wtc.htm.
