Merry Christmas, or whatever you are celebrating today. All the best from all of us.

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.

When I meet people from the DC family out on the trail, the one question I get the most is “How do you know Big Jonny and how did you end up writing for the site?”. I am reminded of this story every year around this time, and today seems like the best day to share it. I always [...]

came across this tidbit whilst surfing… from the WADA website – paragraph 8 of the “code” SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED IN PARTICULAR SPORTS P1. ALCOHOL Alcohol (ethanol) is prohibited In-Competition only, in the following sports. Detection will be conducted by analysis of breath and/or blood. The doping violation threshold (haematological values) is 0.10 g/L. Aeronautic (FAI) Archery [...]

just gotta say..it’s quite a thing, this team that is growing… it is humbling….. from getting resumes from pro riders from all over the world (not so unusual apparently if you talk to elite or pro team managers) to having to respond hopefully somewhat diplomatically to riders that are both realistic and unrealistic in their [...]

From: el jefe Subject: I didn’t know hipsters needed area rugs for their lofts… So, when you own a home, you get on all sorts of mailing lists. I’m not sure how I got on the list for modern hipster area rugs, but I thought I’d share… If the neon on the cover doesn’t permanently [...]

This vid is getting knocked around the interwebs. Not sure what I think of all of the issue presented yet. Well, not in the sense that I can artfully articulate them aside from simple stating: bikes belong. But, we all knew that much already. Two simple words with a whole lot of gloss. Anyway, get [...]

For those of you who have never visited the fine burg that is Flagstaff, Arizona, there is a watering hole/convenience store/refuge for dorky cyclists known as the Pay N’ Take that is unlike any other establishment in which I have become inebriated. When I first moved to this town, I spent most nights sitting at [...]

I ran into the Gnome tonight whilst watching some old man softball here in Flagtard, AZ and he gave me some (lighthearted) shit about not posting in a while. I do apologize; I was on the east coast for a bit, and I haven’t done an especially good job of organizing my life since returning [...]

About 5 months ago, I told the City of Mt. Vernon and the Mayor, Bud Norris, in a very professional, well written letter, that the very busy boulevard College Way is dangerous for cyclists, while there is a bike path that is a gorgeous green bike haven parallel to it, in fact, a short cut.  [...]

So here’s a few topics for discussion: A) I basically have a new bike. Basically. I have had the frame for a couple of years now, and the wheels too, but over the course of the last month, a component has broken just about every ride. The first to go was the seatpost. Then the [...]

Shit. Hell. The discussion of reducing our reliance upon foreign oil and the demand for renewable and sustainable energy sources has been a hotly contested topic since, well, for over 3 decades now. Is there HOPE? Can we make a CHANGE? I like to think so. Saw a jaggoff driving a car the other day [...]
