BGR was telling me about this one the other day. Kid outta nowhere makes it big in the city. Or something like that.
While out on a trail ride, a group of bicyclists spy a small blaze and douse it, stomp it and build a fire line around it.
Firefighters dubbed a small blaze near [...]

“What’d he call me?”

At 34, I once again set down the wrenches and walked away from another tour of Shop Life. This time, it was only 6 months long and it bridged the gap between a failed Tucson design gig and my new life as a member of the biketrailershop.com family. I was happy to be back in [...]

When…when…when the fuck will we finally get past all this bullshit? I mean fucking REALLY?
Johnny Telvor was not happy about Barack Obama becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. Not happy at all.
Standing outside the sturdy courthouse in the sweltering heat of a West Virginia afternoon in the small town of Williamson, Telvor smoked a cigarette and [...]

Another day, another dollar. Another week, another five bucks.
Can’t say I’m sorry to see it gone. At least I’ve been riding my bike to work. Nothing beyond that, mind you, but to work and back each day. And that is quite nice.
And, as an upside, I’m back down to 210 lbs. [...]
