Last week I got a “help me spread the good word” email from Cory up at Dank Bags: Hi there, sorry to solicit you, but just throwing it out there that I now have a coozie of the month club on my website. Im not one to really self promote, but maybe there is a [...]

I was just checking out Jimmy’s FuckGas blog and saw this rad video. The mix of the music is superb too. :37 is my favorite. The Bicycle Film Festival is accepting submissions until 4/1/11. I think Caveman should enter some of his shit.

Welcome to This Old Bike. Today on This Old bike, some unsettling news from Seattle: Mother Katie’s kid-towing, hill crushing bike has been stolen. “This bike represents the most time I’ve eva spent tinkerin’ on any rig. So when I herd that it was lifted, that just made me rip-shit mad.” “Yeah, Norm, I am [...]

For some reason, last year I went to the NAHBS in Richmond, VA (great show gents, great show), and never posted my pics. So, here, for your viewing pleasures, are some pictures from last year’s show to get you pumped and primed for this year’s show in Austin. For those of you going, have a [...]

Our good friends over at T.B.A.G. are putting on a fine little group ride this Friday. I would highly recommend this if you are in the greater Phoenix area. They are hitting up some quality establishments with some good distances between them. I won’t be there since i am committed to another little ride this weekend.  But [...]

This past weekend the RideClean team won the Valley of The Sun Stage Race. It was fucking awesome. I got to watch from the sidelines and it was the best bike race ever where I never even sat on a bike — just handed out bottles and yelled til I was hoarse. After Fridays time [...]

May you rest in peace, Marco. You were once a King. When I think of Marco Pantani, I first think of a photo from the French newspaper, L’Equipe. On Stage 12 of the Tour de France, along with the rest of the peloton, Marco sits in the middle of the road, his bike next to [...]

All things bike which in retrospect garnered a great deal of my attention during the past ten years or so, had been pushed aside since the beginning of the year.  2011 is just under 40 days old by now, and I think I have gone on two proper rides.  Sure getting to and from school, [...]

My oldest daughter has just sorted out how to ride without training wheels. This photo is from yesterday, the second ride, the second afternoon of success, when she felt more confident and I could snap a cellphone pic while running along side of her. I hadn’t noticed her grin when I was with her as [...]

With the pedals removed, this is the coaster bike. Her coaster bike. I got it from Ken a few years back. He had it knocking around in his garage for his own children, and their friends in the neighborhood. His children grew, as children will, and it passed to me. It has served us well. [...]

I got an email today from my buddy Ryan over at T.B.A.G. letting me know about their 3rd Friday Group Ride that is going down tomorrow night. If you are in the greater Phoenix area, this is definitely something to check out.  Beers and bikes on a Friday night, I’m there. He also informed me that next [...]

Yep, 1/11/11. Get some.
