There comes the time in all of our lives when we need to make the decision: to #occupybikeseat or not. Being a reader of this site, you’d think it’s an easy question right? WRONG! There is a bitch in all of us and today I feel like slappin’ a bitch and setting things right. This Read the full article…
You’re cold? Drink a coat and #occupybikeseat.
You think YOU got it bad…?
Ever been on a ride and hit a squirrel? Shit can get real bad, real quick like. I remembered the post a few days ago about a busted carbon seatpost, and It looks like many of you have either contributed to or should to busted carbon dot com. You’re wondering where the rest of the Read the full article…
Nuts on the podium
This year the Tour seemed to be filled with a lot more class than in years past. Cadel stepping up his game to be a real champion, Hoogerland making us all look like sissies, and Voekler holding on for dear life to that yellow jersey. When watching the awards ceremony yesterday something else caught my Read the full article…
Dude Bro’s and Dust Storms
It seems that things have been pretty uneventful lately. Or maybe I have just been boring? I haven’t clipped into pedals in over 3 weeks and I’m OK with it, for now. I really haven’t felt the need to put in the miles since my epic fail out at the the 24 hours in the Read the full article…
Tucson: F for Failure Pile on the Bicycle Safety
First thing: Way cool. One of my favorite comedians, Patton Oswalt, is coming to the Rialto Theater on the 29th of April. F for Fat Fuck Nation. Patton, if you can read this, please make some jokes about this ridiculous irony I see every day, to change my anger to laughter, because frankly, this shit Read the full article…
The mental playlist of a 24 hour race.
Its a little late and there isn’t much more that I can report on here that hasn’t already been said by Gnome and D2 but I will give it a try.

Hangover helper
Since most of the country is going to be hung over today, I thought that I would drop a link dump and some stuff from my inbox. First I will hit you with a good little song about a bicycle curing a hangover. Then you can watch this clinic on how to go really fast. Read the full article…
Merry Xmas, fools.
I don’t know about you, but clowns still kinda scare the shit outta me. Yes, in case you’re wondering I am a grownup, but clowns and midgets creep me out. Midget clowns? Forget it, I’ll have nightmares for days from that. Killer Clowns from Outer Space. Best bad movie. EVER.
Taking it on into the weekend:
Being the dirty old skateboard and bike addict that I am, I tend to watch a lot of videos. Back in the day, it used to be dubbed copies of Curb Dogs and H-Street videos. But now its sitting in front of a computer at work watching the newest (and oldest) stuff online. There are a few videos Read the full article…
Wine and the acquistion of better wine
Living in the city has taught me one thing: If you want it right, go to the pros. Go to a specialist. It may in fact be the only option sometimes in the Urban landscape. You want dog food? Go to a dog food store. You need shoes repaired? There are many to choose from. Read the full article…
Tuesday depresso-link dump
Because, why not really? First up we have some excellent reporting on what BJ has been up to… Men would be holding hands and walking naked, blindfolded, through a forest. Then they would sit nude in groups of 30 to 50, passing around a wooden dildo and giving lurid details of their sexual history. Eggleston Read the full article…
Seattle v. Portland? What’s the best bike city in the US?
Both cities have more than ten bicycle shops. Both have a sharp business dude importing European bikes and selling them for a huge markup. Portland has more framebuilders; and therefore has more out of work framebuilders – due to Portland’s proximity to Oregon. Seattle has nuances that keep it interesting, and so does Portland, but Read the full article…
