The Chandler BMX park is a pretty amazing oasis of concrete in the desert. It’s right down the street from my work and occasionally I will go for a little “business lunch” to ride it. Flailing around doing straight airs and wall rides can really break up an afternoon of corporate America.  I always see some impressive [...]

Just got an email from my buddy AfghanBMXer.  Seems he has been hard at work snapping some pictures of the people on bikes in his “neighborhood”. Not quite sure why his photos motivate me to ride so much, but they do.  Too tired or sore to ride? Bike doesn’t fit right, saddle sucks, bar tape is ripped, cables are [...]

Back in my college days I had a roommate that had a lot of IF bikes. All steel, all campy, and all with custom paint jobs. We didn’t dare touch them or even think about riding them. But this roommate also liked Guinness beer, a whole heck of a lot. Whenever he would get all tanked on that [...]

I take photos, yo.

In the never ending search to find Snakehawk’s Daddy I stumbled across this gentleman. I think he might just be the man we have been looking for “I take all responsibility for my own reactions”  Ray is my new hero. *This message brought to you by the boys over at the Nashville Bicycle Lounge. They put some [...]

This video makes me smile and cringe (Sminge?) all at the same time. *poached from hellingham. A few months ago I posted some pictures from the 35th anniversary of Repack and this week we received a little helmet cam footage from that day. There is no editing and no music…but you get a great feel of the ride [...]

Well, it’s January, which means it’s time for my yearly existential crisis. This existential crisis means I recently applied for a job in a bike shop. Looks like I’m going to get it, too. I won’t whine about it, I promise, but I want you all to know that I am doing this under duress. [...]

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 [...]

I am on the road yet again and this trip finds me in Moab, UT. This place never gets old. Some try and say otherwise and I say those people are blind fools. It has fluctuated in popularity over the years but fun will always be had here. I remember the first time I came here, 10 [...]

Electric Grip Shift   Nothing quite like taking a part that is super simple and making it more complex.  Innovation?  I feel like this is something I would see over at yourbikehatesyou but instead I found it here.

Man, I just read all of your comments. I know for a fact I could rollerblade  down to your area and raise serious havoc on all of you. First I’ll come to your local bar and pee on all your shaved legs then kick all of the spokes out of your bikes and beat all your [...]

I cruised over to the DC Tumblr page as I settled in for my post ride recovery beer(s) this evening. Although I’m not quite sure what this thing is all about, I do know that Big Jonny does a hell of a job putting up badass images and commentary. This little blurb caught my eye: I have this [...]
