That was my Saturday!

 

[Road Guy]

did you see the article on the news where the Pro Challenge is still losing around $2 million?

 

[csb]

Better than the $10M it lost the first year?

 

[Road Guy]

This made me smile

looks like something I would do. We have to tell minisnick to keep his head up while riding his bike all the time. maybe I should show him this to drive home the point

1. I'm supporting a pretty sweet mustache.

2. You're damn right if someone "bumps" me with a CAR I'm going to beat the shit out of the car.

I had a van get next to me while I was in a bike lane and rev the engine. I then caught him at the light and stopped myself from saying some choice words into his open window. Bonus? It was a work vehicle for the city and had an easy to memorize plate. DB.

Id never intentionally bump a biker ( or a car) but I think everyone can admit there are a portion of these biker types are just assholes. Id love for one of these 80 pound motherfuckers to bang something on my car... insert "wish a motherfucker would" picture here <>

I saw this on Kickstarter yesterday, and thought some of you might like it (CSB in particular). I usually only ride my bike for exercise, so I don't need most of its features (headlight, theft deterrance, etc), but it seems to be handy for bike commuters.

That's pretty clever, especially if they could keep the price in check.

I think $99 is pretty fair for what you get. Retail is going to be $149 after the Kickstarter campaign ends.

This is why I weigh 100 pounds more than that.

Ooh! If only it would play music, it would be fully perfect. I like it!

my wife, in her quest to kill me, signed us up for this: http://www.tourofthemoon.com/

any one else participating / mourning for me?

 

[csb]

I'm super jealous! Say hi to Kevin Costner for me!

okay, soooooo, my birthday is in a few weeks and I was originally going to ask for a new bike for Christmas (mine was stolen years ago and I never bothered to replace it for one reason or another) but I think we are going to go the route of not buying presents and just getting ourselves some kayaks and missing gear (my husband always uses rental gear while I have my own paddle, life jacket and great gear since I used to participate in regattas and races in highschool).

He has a tricked out road bike with bells and whistles galore, but I'm more interested in trail riding. I do want to make sure that if I want to, I can ride with him on the road. I used to have a Raleigh M400 or maybe it was an M500 or something, and I LOVED it and I remember that I didn't have to pay an exorbitant amount (mind you I figure I'm looking in the $400 range since he DID get an Xbox1 for his birthday this year from me). Due to the history of present giving in our house, I would rather just send him the exact specs of what I want (while that doesn't mean I will get it, it will increase the chances).

So any recommendations?

BEST

CYCLING

MOVIE

EVER.

And not just because of ...

Okay, partly because of ^ ^ ^. But also because it's an awesome cycling movie. Except that no one could ride themselves into shape in two weeks. Except Jan Ullrich.

I found a copy in the $5 bin at the Kroger and snapped it up.
