‘Cause I’m about to blow your door clean off. Today was not the first time Lance Armstrong got his door blown off at the Tour de France. All you folks that never heard of cycling until Boy Wonder was on the cover of a Wheaties box need to pay attention. It was the 1994 Tour [...]

Wow, sparks and tempers were flaring after today’s stage! Nothing screams “Lil Bitch” more than a couple cyclists clad in lycra and funny shoes tussling in public. And to make matters worse, Quick Step rider Carlos Barredo used a spare wheel to aid in his bitch slapping. You wanna kick dude’s ass? First take off [...]

The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an internal investigation after one of its officers was caught on camera apparently kicking a cyclist during a protest against oil giant BP. Read the rest: rawstory.com. Critical Mass rides always bring out the best in the cycling community and in law enforcement. And by “best” I pretty [...]

I had a conversation with a friend the other day. She asked about motivation. Where does it come from? I had to ride on that a few days but this is what I came up with. Losing fucking sucks plain and simple. This post has taken me a couple of days to write. It’s been [...]

Found these two time-lapse vids on facebook. A guy named Keiji Iwai put them together. You can see his website here: www.keijiiwai.com. (Note: music will play on homepage. Might want to turn down your speakers first.) This is the first video: www.keijiiwai.com/Clients/SchultzFireSmall.mov. I can’t look at that without getting a lump in my throat. I [...]

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

This one was talked about at length by the fine word smith knows as Bike Snob NYC no less than three weeks ago. Three weeks is like seven years in webtime. Whatever. We’re not relevant or timely or young or hip. Tell me something I don’t already know and embrace. (Update: Judi tells me she [...]

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 [...]

The building is our civilization. A fire is consuming the building, at a pace of such slow and corrosive nature as to not make us think ‘fire’. The fire is our addiction to fossil fuels. It is going to destroy our home

I am sure you are going to want the 18″ MTB. Bring $170 and bring your son’s bike for a free adjustment. If it needs maintenance, such as a part replaced, or pulled to get to an internal bearing, then it will cost; about 1/2 of what you pay in a bike shop, labor wise.

It’s Sunday and sunny and 75 degrees outside and I was supposed to be RACING today. I’m sick. What a BUMMER feeling that is. (and now all the Facebook updates are coming through). Last Tuesday I rode my 1st century, felt great! Thursday woke up stuffy. Chalked it up to allergies and did my interval [...]
