This cyclist endorses Barack Obama for the Presidency. Because he’s clearly a long-time cyclist and his platform actually includes a bike plan. Actually, that’s not my only reason for endorsing the man, but I’ll post about that at a later date.
You know, I love the Caturday/LOLCat humor. It’s so simple, so retarded, yet so…hysterically funny. It really cracks me the hell up. And that said, here’s one I found today that I love: What are your favs? (Embed in comments.)
So I’ve narrowed the field to three possibilities: the Blue TR250 frameset the Fetish Attack frame the Trek T1 frameset Right now, the Fetish is leading the cost battle. The Blue is winning the appeal battle. I need to go get working on the spreadsheet that determines what we’re getting here. Figuring out parts and [...]
There is no better way to deliver righteousness than through humor. I agree with everything the dude says, by the way.
Okay, so I’m starting to narrow down my choices for a track frame: a Trek T1 frameset a Fetish Attack frame telling financial common sense to go “fuck itself” and buying a Bridgestone Anchor PHM9 (pictured, click for larger view) Obviously, given that this is my first season on the velodrome, I’m not dropping the [...]
Odd title for a post at the end of February in Minnesota, isn’t it? This morning when I left the house, it was warm enough for a light jacket, and there was a haze of fog in the air. Dirt was showing through patches of snow in the area between my apartment building and the [...]

So last year, I made my comeback to racing on July 4th, at the Northfield Criterium. I DNF’ed (did not finish), as I was way out of shape and in no condition to race. In another of my blogs, three days later, I wrote a piece about the experience and why, at the age of [...]
So I have an awesome idea for a cycling product, something that will improve aerodynamics while still falling inside the rules and regulations. I’m going to need to take out a patent on the thing and bring it to market. The awesome part is that it’ll be relatively cheap/easy to manufacture. Tri-geeks and triathletes everywhere [...]
So recently, sci-fi author Steven Brust released a Firefly fanfic novel as a free download. A friend who is making strides in the business of being a sci-fi writer, if I recall correctly, cut her teeth by writing fan fiction. I’m reminded of John Scalzi and his adage about “paying work gets written first.” It’s [...]
