Greatest line since the infamous Kobe comments – “there is no I in team but there is an m & an e”.
How can we make this go viral?

I don’t know how… if only there was some sort of ‘web’, that was world-wide…a type of ‘net’, that was international. hmmm, think I’ve got an idea!

Grrrrr. I’m sick with jealousy that I didn’t come up with that line. Brett is a genius. That’s why he is a professional and I am not. It’s beautiful.

Yeah, and wait ’til he realizes there is an “I” in “Team Radioshack”. Then what?

Monikers of the Giants

by frank / Sep 7 2010 / 32 posts

It only takes the most cursory glance through the Lexicon to realize that we have a special love for nicknames here at Velominati. I’m not sure what it is that compels us to call things by some made-up name instead of the actual ones; it almost seems like we’re bragging that we kn… Continue reading

Beer in the Bidon: Field Test Update

by Joshua / Sep 5 2010 / 33 posts

Initially, “Beer in the Bidon” was to be a single, definitive posting, an authoritative ranking of the single best variety of the single best and most important cycling performance beverage yet devised by the hand of man: beer. “Beer?” you ask. That’s right, beer (and say hello to y… Continue reading

Study of a Toolbag: The Assos Guy

by frank / Sep 4 2010 / 32 posts

Until I started wearing the sacred threads of the V-Kit, I believed firmly that Assos produced the finest clothes in cycling. Their winter clothes are toasty-warm and lack the bulk of most winter garb, while no epidermal cell has ever been lost to chaffing while wearing a pair of FI.13 bibs.… Continue reading

The Meaning of the Word Respect: The Beartooth Challenge

by Joshua / Sep 3 2010 / 12 posts

This past weekend I learned a number of lessons here in my new home state of Montana. Or perhaps relearned these lessons—lessons of my own mortality; of my fragility; of my limitations. Full of hubris and vigor I entered the 2010 Beartooth Challenge, an 8.2 mile uphill run over 2,500 vertic… Continue reading

Velominati Interview: Garmin’s Kris ‘Grom’ Withington

by Brett / Sep 2 2010 / 11 posts

With La Vuelta in full swing and the Worlds only weeks away, there are more than a few riders who will be feeling the effects of a long, hard season. Months of training, travelling and racing take a physical and mental toll that we, as mere mortals, can only begin to imagine. But without th… Continue reading

The Dotted Jumper

by frank / Jul 12 2010 / 15 posts

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m too fat to climb and therefor admire those who aren’t, or if it has something to do with the masochistic nature of sprinting to the top of every hill during a three-week race, but the competition for the best climber in the Tour de Fran… Continue reading

Italian Thoroughbred, Hand Built with Care in China

by frank / May 11 2010 / 30 posts

While walking about town, one of my favorite things to do is to puruse the commuter bikes locked up outside stores and study some of the gems being ridden around. Sometimes, I come across a really special bike, and marvel at the notion that the bike’s owner might not have any idea what… Continue reading

Anatomy of a Photo: 1995 World Championship road race

by Brett / Aug 19 2010 / 23 posts

When I first feasted my eyes on this photo over at lagazzettadellabici.com, it was the steely stare of Il Pirata that commanded my attention. That look says it all; ”I’m suffering like a dog, the altitude is fucking with my mind, my lungs and my vision, but there’s rocket… Continue reading

Know Your Limitations

by frank / Aug 17 2010 / 31 posts

I always strongly consider observations from anyone willing to wave a 44 Magnum in people’s faces. As such, I’ve always appreciated Dirty Harry‘s recommendation that a man know his limitations. For example, I can appreciate that I am not an elegant creature and it is best… Continue reading

Old School

by Brett / Aug 14 2010 / 19 posts

We, as cyclists, as Velominati, may share a common passion, yet invariably have our roots planted in differing turf. Some may be late bloomers, coming to flower in our adult years, when we decide that a sedentary lifestyle, an expanding waistline or the realisation cycling is indeed more than… Continue reading
