Sorry if this has been posted….but it’s just too rad to not put out there.

Albe’s Zack Gerber Edit
A video such as this requires no introduction, no explanation, or back story. It is simply 100% bad ass. Thanks to Ben T. for sending it over. Kid’s so god damn nuts I’ll forgive him for wearing his sister’s pants. Looks like nothing gets between him and his Calvins. For example, brakes. Hear that, fixie [...]
Seriously? Bike doping…
I sure hope not. Check out the video, let us know what you think in the comments. I’m curious to hear what the DC nation has to say about this. I don’t really know what to make of it. My first instinct is to call bullshit. But at this point, nothing would surprise me. Here is [...]
Tuesdays with Dirty: Why are they called dog days?
Its official, summer is here. To most people that is a really happy occasion. Down here in the desert it just makes me agry. It means for the next 3 months I can’t comfortably ride my favorite trails during the day. Life shifts from all day rides with your friends to getting up at 4am, [...]
Friday as the end of one thing and the beginning of another
A new movie about immigration, Arizona, and, well, shit blowing up. It’s called Machete. Preview & info here: aintitcool.com. I cannot believe that is a real movie. As I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and live this immigration idiocy in real time, I don’t see myself sitting down to watch this one any time soon. My [...]

Farrar takes Giro stage
American Tyler Farrar just won himself a stage at the Giro. Wearing, what appears to be, only one shoe cover. New trend in the making? A must have for the upcoming fashion season? Something the swaggerific Hincapie Sports will soon selling? Read all about it velonews.competitor.com/…tyler-farrar-wins… & cyclingnews.com. In somewhat related news (i.e., another sprinter), [...]
Study break: nice job parking that ride!
I needed a break from looking at Commercial Law. I’d sooner throw myself down a flight of stairs… Anyway, this email from our man Legs did the trick. Look for him to be posting up on DC in the near future. He’s going to do just fine around here. I know talent. And this girl [...]
“two in the blood one in the mud”
#43 I thought it was two in the blood one in the mud. What a great last comment for the glove post. How appropriate for my post. Had to quote it. Thanks Batwing – is that you Lauren? This is my PMDD week. It’s very real. For all you guys that are married/have a girlf, [...]
Racing is as Racing Does.
One time i witnessed big kitchen racing, foaming at the mouth like a shitty science project. bleeding from the eyes. the hair on the back of his hands had turned green. his kitchen sink was clunking down the trail behind him, like a car bumper hanging on by a brake light wire. mothers covered their [...]
Spring Awards
Several hours in the air this weekend offered me a perfect opportunity to reflect on this year’s classics. Here’s a run-down of this spring’s award-winning performances. Rider of the Spring: How could we not give the Rider of the Spring award to Fabian Cancellara? Spartacus put on a display seldom seen, beating the best of [...]
I don’t like the drugs, but the drugs like me
Marilyn Manson reference aside (or maybe included), this shit is completely retarded. Franco Pellizotti, second in last year’s Giro d’Italia and winner of the polka-dot jersey in the 2009 Tour de France, will not start this year’s Giro after the UCI alleged that a check of his so-called biological passport found “abnormal values.” The Italian [...]
