De Vlaeminck likes Cancellara for Roubaix: “He can win on Sunday by dropping Boonen. I like Cancellara, he attacks and races with panache. Everyone rode against him at Flanders, even the mechanics of the other teams who wouldn’t give him a bottle. That was scandalous. But he was the strongest. Boonen is a good rider [...]

I posted a reply to someone else’s post about Congresswoman Gifford’s status, in essence calling bullshit on the whole, “I heard it form a guy whose mom went to a website run by someone who has inside information…” Straw men arguments and heresay bullshit need to be stopped short and fast. It seems like everyone [...]

It’s getting very hot in Tucson. The map shows pink areas. This ain’t pretty. But there are no mosquitoes here, yet. My time in Tucson is short, more than likely. Plan A: Take diesel Ford (currently performing maintenance upon) North and East in about 11 days. Plan B: Hunker down, get a $250/mo. studio, and [...]

Shot of my driveway on Friday afternoon. Yes, my girls ride each and every one of them. And, yes, there are a few more in the garage. I asked my eldest if she liked having so many bikes. She replied, “You can never have too many bikes, Dad.” Well played.

I have a couple events to tell you about. If you are not in Arizona, feel free to stop reading now. It looks like the lovely boys and girls over at T.B.A.G. are planning another bike party. This one involves a city park, local beer, local music, local food (I’m sensing a theme here), and [...]

A great video from our friends over at Black Cat Bicycles.    If you are going to drive a couple thousand miles through the southwest, it only makes sense to ride as much as possible along the way. I know what I’m doing this weekend…how about you?

“enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others” Yup. Sounds about right. edited to add : I like the idea of buying local. Don’t we all? this is something I’ve had my eye on for a while. This year’s model is even more sick than the last. Fixie Inc’s PUREBLOOD. —bp

More importantly – how much rest is enough rest? I had a day off the bike on Saturday, which basically meant I rode with the dog 2 miles, and that was it. This was the first day off the bike in over 45 days. A few days ago, a poorly attended-to pit bull puppy jumped [...]

Well well well. I haven’t done much on this site since Old Pueblo except write some innocuous comments on random posts and piss off at least one lady who commented that she’d never read this site again. It’s probably for the best, ma’am. Really. I asked the Gnome if it would be cool if I [...]

Right on Main Avenue, near the train tracks and the Western edge of the Dunbar Spring neighborhood, is a building housing Jimbo, a cyclist woodworker, and Ed, a frame builder in the early prime of his career. Pistol Pete owns one. That man is as serious as they come when it comes to expedition bicycle [...]
