Riding down 6th Ave any morning, you can find a shuttle to Nogales for $12. Walking across the border, you can find a dentist that can help you the same day. Bad teeth can be such a nightmare. While waiting for your appointment you can find an open air liquor store and find a nice Read the full article…
Novacaine is a hell of a drug.
Gravel Grinder
Got this from my buddy George over at Bike29: So T-Hom and I ended up manning the aid station that was at mile 7 and 20. Due to an error on my part, there was no water at the aid station. Just gummy bears, pretzels, bananas, fig newtons, and 3 kinds of whiskey. Well done Sir, Read the full article…
Don’t throw your bike at your friend…
So, I called a friend today to see what was up and he had some crazy story about riding bikes with a friend to the bar, getting wasted of course then riding home pretty much blacked out. Well, he decided to take his bmx bike and throw it from the porch out into the street Read the full article…

Parijs Roubaix 2011
Thanks to Hooligan for posting a link to this video in the comment section. This is the supposed HD version of the video. But, to be honest, I can’t tell the difference between them on this machine (yes, I watched both).
Being All In. Or, All Under a Truck
I almost made it home early one morning without encountering a car. Two passed me when I got back to my midtown location. Dodge Flower! Pull it up for your hood! Ah, never mind. I took Lance out for a walk and heard a birdsong in the cool of the night that made me consider Read the full article…
De Vlaeminck holds forth
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 Read the full article…
Some good news…
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 Read the full article…
Current status: Bicycles: 2 ea. 1 ton trucks: 2 ea.
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 Read the full article…
It rolls deep
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.

This one involves a city park, local beer, local music, local food (I’m sensing a theme here), and Read the full article…
