When I work from home, I watch what’s going on outside. Dope boys come and go from the house across the street. He seems to be the steady supplier for many. I often wonder what drug he sells. His kids come over here to get their bikes fixed. Not once have they ever thanked us. [...]

This is going to be a pretty weak post. Mostly because the riding is off the hook right now in the desert southwest and I have better shit to do than type. So here it goes:
This might be the link of the week so far, keep hitting refresh notahipsterbecause.com.
A few years ago I had the pleasure [...]

Drunkenness, hangovers, and debauchery tend to come to mind when one thinks about alcohol and its effects. But could alcohol also have been a catalyst for human civilization?
According to archaeologist Patrick McGovern this may have been the case when early man decided to start farming. Why humans turned from hunting and gathering to agriculture could [...]

Toying with the idea of selling the Landshark. (no I’m not) busted my winter wheel, time to clean her up and put the GOOD wheels on ‘er. (…to have and to hold) take the glamour shots in departing sunlight (the frame doesn’t fit) and degrade this legendary bicycle with a Seattle craigslist post.

Because sometimes we need a little extra something to get us to Friday.

What do a sandwich, a waterfall, and Tom Sellick have in common? Everything.
This kid goes big, and keeps it simple. I like it.
That gets me ready to ride. Kind of like Colt Fake’s little video.
Over at Ninebullets they stream a bunch of mellow shit I have [...]

Shit. Amazing what you can find when you actually pay attention. I parked this one in the drafts folder and lost sight of it for three weeks. The ride I’m talking about was on January 7th. Oh well. Shit’s still funny even if it is way late to go live. [...]

There is a possibility that the UCI’s Cyclo-cross World Championships could be held in the United States in 2013, making it the first venue outside of Europe to host the event. USGP director Joan Hanscom confirmed to Cyclingnews that she and partner Bruce Fina have submitted the bid to hold the event in [...]

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.

I’ve had the time to see some quality television these last three weeks. And, [...]

You’re saying it’s time for work? God Dam It. I’d rather be Bike Camping.

Oh hell.
The Douchebag Anthem

Now that I’ve seen that video, one think is clear: I’ve gotta get some new clothes. Look at what I’m bringing to the table. Shit, am I old or what? And who in the hell takes a photo of his fucking shoe on the dashboard of his car? [...]

Months of walking the brief distance to school, eschewing all cycling related effort, finally gave way to timing and the words of vacuum man on a mild fall Sunday. I gathered the remnants of my past, threw them into a pile on the bed and selected the latest. I squeezed. Jello soft serve dropped into [...]

Another Sunday in the library. With a cold. And a bad attitude. Hopefully someone out there is riding a bicycle today. For I certainly am not.
When I go home, It’ll be tea and whiskey on the couch. Yes, I have caught the dreaded cold. It is, after all, the [...]

I’ve been trying to keep up with my emails and related “not law school” related activities and communications. And, I’ve apparently failed miserably. That said, I’m going to dump a couple of real beauties on ya’ll.

Saturday last (not yesterday, yo) was the annual Pines to the Mines ride, as alluded to by Jonny. i was there. weather was beautiful. blah blah.
Jonny was right. JR won with a worthy ride. i’ve seen roadies ride mtb’s hard. never have i seen a roadie ride a borrowed bike a handful of times, then [...]

So as of late I have been hi-jacking photos off of a friend of a friend of a distant long lost twice removed cousins web page. Most days when I get home from my salt mine I check to see what the hell the world is up too. Once upon a while ago [...]

Ah shit, it’s the weekend. I got nothing to show for it. I’ll be putting in the hours (again) down at the library. That’s pretty much where I live now. At one time, it was the saddle. Not it’s the cubicle. The constant between both? A clear and [...]

This is my new sorta-mostly-favorite song of the moment. Catchy hook, but still 76% uncertain (coffee achiever – holla!). All sure to change by tomorrow mid-day. That shit is constantly in flux around here. Go figure.

How many vids can I pack into one lean post?
The answer, it seems, is [...]

So it’s midweek and I’m slammed. Go figure, I’m in friggin’ law school. Shit happens. One vid and a link dump coming at ya like a freight train. You can thank me later.

When I was in middle school a girl who was a class above me with swept back blond hair and a pack of marlboro reds used to always say “What the fuck? Fuck the what?” while we rode the school bus through the rumbling countryside. I have never understood what she was talking [...]

We watched the movie Coraline the other weekend about five times. Hey, I’ve got a three year old and she’s really into repetive viewing. Go figure. Anyway, the character Other Mother was one spooky lady! My daughter did not like her. Not one bit. Hell, none of [...]
