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 [...]

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 [...]

File this under “Damn the Man.” SPECIALIZED BICYCLES SUES FORMER EMPLOYEES WHO CREATE START-UP. Specialized is no different than any other large corporation. These non-compete clauses are very common, and they are ridiculous. I understand trying to protect  your proprietary developments in house, but honestly, the day a corporation owns my thoughts is the day [...]

You’re always climbing in Flagstaff.   Anyone who has ridden there knows the first hour of the ride, at least, will be all uphill. You may get a brief respite during the twilight of your ride, but you’ll go back to town, take off your bike clothes, stow your ride away, and it’s all uphill [...]

Ten years on, it hasn’t gotten much easier to get my head around the brutality and tragedy of that Tuesday morning. I’ve been blogging on this website long enough to show you what I did back then – I over-wrote the main html page so that all that displayed was this: http://drunkcyclist.com/archive/gallery_wtc.htm. Today I got [...]

Walking around Leadville I was starting to notice these things hugging peoples calves, so I started firing off some shots- I hope they help do something fantastic because they look ridiculous.

Image Source: http://www.amazon.com/Blackburn-01002-Bike-Helmet-Mirror/dp/B000BNTY58. Yes, you too can save yourself from the neck strain incurred when constantly turning yourself half-way [...]

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 [...]

In response to Judi’s last post regarding the inequality and piss poor payouts that female racers endure and are subjected to, I came across the following little gem. I don’t know if this if truth, fact or fiction, but it caused me to do a double take. File this one under WTF??? While some complain [...]

I almost hurled when I read this article posted last week on Velo News. Amgen Tour of California organizer AEG appears set to launch a women’s elite time trial to accompany the men’s event in Solvang in May. According to several sources, invitations for the SRAM-backed event went out a week ago, and the purse [...]

Who am I kidding? It’s not like they’d have me. (Can’t remember if I had even applied to that school. Let’s assume I did & they didn’t.) To quote the late, great, Groucho Marx; “I would not join any club that would have someone like me for a member.” Who and what? Zirbel now free [...]
