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 [...]

Perhaps not a true cyclist in the terms many would commonly employ. But, the man certainly could ride a bicycle if and when he chose to. It goes without saying that he could drink (more than most mere mortals). And, boy could he write.

For all you Keystone State folks out there. From: AK Subject: Court allows Fracking in National Forests. I am passing this on because it is something you and others in the cycling community need to be aware of. Although natural gas extraction will have a very positive impact to PA’s economy, we’ve had many questions [...]

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 [...]

Every time I hear Sarah Palin speak, I want to throw things.  There’s a whole lot of crazy people with money who are already planning on making this crazy christian wing nut MILF our next president. I’d take Alvin Greene or a re-up of the old bomber.  Janet Neapolitan ice cream. Even John McFuckstick as [...]

Seriously, WTF is up with South Carolina? Is everyone there a distant relative of Forrest Gump or something? You guys eat lead-based paint chips? The mold and mildew eating away at your cerebral cortex? And I thought we had some assclowns in this state of mine. But fuck people, what’s wrong with you all? First, [...]

Remember when you could ride your bike and not have fear of being killed by an irresponsible dick in an SUV? Remember when you could have a discussion about politics without

I try to keep it bike around here, I really do. Sometimes things come through that aren’t very bike at all. This is one such item. This site is based in Arizona, as much as it is based anywhere. I’m in Phoenix and Gnome is up in Flagstaff. Things are a bit wacky around here [...]

If this place goes, so will a part of my heart, and the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people that know BICAS. I used to go ‘down there’ a lot, and many a Tucson cyclist found the rare part they needed at BICAS.  The incredible creativity that formed that place leaves a lasting impression [...]

I don’t get serious very often, but do you know why you REALLY have today off? From the  Letter From a Birmingham Jail to the famous I Have a Dream speech to the rest of his oratory art…the motivation and the follow through to take on The Man is simply remarkable. It was one part vision [...]

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, I suppose that [...]
