We all encountered this version a few years back:
I encountered this version today:
There’s just something about seeing a banana hammock when you’re buying a breakfast sandwich that just makes you want to never eat breakfast again.
Now, just so I don’t end up writing an entire post dedicated to thin pieces of material designed to suspend male genitalia precariously at the beach, here’s a little something I came across today:
These are awesome brakes. I assure you this is true. It boggles the mind how mountain biking ‘evolved’ from these guys to cantilever brakes. Cantis suck. I don’t care what you say, they suck. They’re hard to adjust, they’re even harder to adjust well enough so that the stopping power actually matters, and they are a staple of crap bikes nowadays…as a mechanic, I am bitter and angry when I have to work on them.
But cam brakes…well damn. A work of art right there. And they work…for the most part. Now if only we could design ’em so the posts are threaded…
These guys were attached to a Schwinn from back in the day when Schwinn didn’t translate into ‘Wal Mart Special,’ which aptly describes the way I feel about my ‘professional career’ right about now. I was a teacher. If you ever want to feel like a single sock in the ‘special’ bin at Wal Mart, try teaching. It makes whiskey taste better.
Hammock up, kids. And be careful out there.
yo, d2rded, you got lucky, okay? i’ve posted balls, fagballs, hballs, kitchen balls, all types of shit, okay? dirtybiker and i have heard the DC dialtone loud and clear. straight hanging up on our asses week after week.
you come dancing ineer like tony danza on ice and straight rack a bill of comments about cantilever brakes. let’s just say it were a little bit of team work. if our boy LJ weren’t such a science fair volcano, you’d be chatting back and forth with the crickets.
i’ll give you stopping power. toe those bitches in, d2rded; shit’s about to squeak.
Touchdown!
What SnakeHawk said.
At your acceptance speech I’d expect to hear lots of gratitude expressed to the Little people.
Like Francis.
He trys so hard.
this is so gay. we might as well skype with our shirts off.
“you come dancing ineer like tony danza on ice”
Mr. Hawk— Brian Boitano would kick Tony Danza’s ass in an MMA cage, word.
like a game of wheelchair whiffle ball. hits for days. i know, player. i know.
& Cheese ? do not get me started, I curd not see any whey that America has anything to be proud about about with the fermented curd.
I still shiver when I remember a Pizza that I got given in Chicago that frankly glowed in the dark
Fuckin’ A right CHEESE! I just returned from a LOVELY 40+ mile mtn bike ride in the land of the Cheesehead. Picked up some fresh mozzarella string cheese…the place I stopped didn’t have any curds…but I usually get fresh ones every time I deign to go “behind the Cheddar Curtain.”
I rode two bikes today, and neither had cantis.

All right, so we can say that Non Cantis like cheesse & canti riders just suck balls.
Onza cantis were cool, cuz you could run a 700 c wheel if you had the clearance and still have brakes. Super precise adjustment, too.
gruyere
Speaking of Cheeseheads, Holland are now into the semi’s.
Whoo Hooo.
(A fellow worker is dutch guy)
“mostly because nobody ever comments on my shit…”
to DB, say better shit
…onza ???…fuck me !!!…danny sotelo is, was & always will be one of the coolest mtb guys ever…
…danny…it’s been years but if yer out there within shouting distance, motherfucker, you & brian “skinny” skinner, john “yeti” parker, johnny grafton, jeff ringle’ & that whole fucking crew were as “aces” as it gets…throw in a boehmke, a storino, a hahn, an espinoza & whether it was so-cal, vermont, colorado, utah, wherever else the action was happening, it was an honor & a privilege for bikesgonewild to come out of his nor-cal hideaway to tip one back with the bunch…
A hundred bottles of beer on the wall
