Late to this party, but what a win!
I’ll never forget these three wins. Was there in Richmond with wife who was just a few weeks pregnant, now our son is around 18 months and if I’m working on my bike, demands to hold the wrench. He also LOVES riding around in his trailer behind the bike. He’s at a really fun stage.
Sagan is such an amazing…

Thanks, guys. This is my commuter bike, so just cheapo Tektro V’s paired with Avid levers. Very nice pull action, but modulating with one hand/brake is NOT easy.
So sore can barely move my right arm and my right knee is swollen as hell. Very sore, but I don’t think it’s anything long-term.
It all happened so fast, as crashes usually do. Went…

I swear I’m shrinking from having a desk job and sitting too much, even though I make sure to get up frequently! Even saw a friend last week who I haven’t seen in awhile. I always thought I was taller, he seemed to be! And he doesn’t have a desk job!

Get jiggy. Wow, been so long I nearly forgot people used to say that. Now I’m just waiting for everyone to stop calling everyone “bro”.
Completely forgot this race was on! Was packing up after a family beach trip and heading home. If someone had told me how many things you need to bring a 15 month old to the beach for a week…good lord!
Watched…

The one funny thing about the Tour is how it gets people who don’t ride and don’t follow pro cycling to watch. For three weeks, cycling is cool to more people. Then it goes back to…”Get the fuck off MY roads. A-hole in spandex.”
Speaking of a-holes, what is up with the proliferation of boutique kit designers? Since when did road cycling become…

Ha, I have this weird issue where if I try to think about a route I haven’t ridden in awhile, I find myself getting confused. But once I jump on the bike, I find myself just going, not thinking, and getting it right. Relatedly, when someone asks me for driving directions I either a) can’t tell them how to go because I don’t know road names, as…

Great article! I love maps and still use them, considering I don’t have a gps device on my bike and still use a basic cell phone.
Oh man, the only way I can stand the frequent trips to eastern NC to visit the in-laws is by looking at all the country lanes running along the new highways, wishing I was on a bicycle and not in a car. With all the…

I hope we don’t see any haters around here, wiscot. One thing I find pleasant about cycling is that the fans/participants seem to be a bit more educated and open-minded than the average American ball sports fan.
With the scary political, environmental, and economic situations going on around the world, my need to care about personal choices of…

Hmm, I’ve very curious to see how I personally react to the Tour this year. With a 14 month old on hand, job, wife, grad school, etc. I barely have time to ride, much less watch cycling. I hardly paid attention to the Giro. I almost feel guilty that I’m not that into watching pro cycling these days. But, I’ve always been a person who tries out…

Was playing some futbol last evening when a guy rode by on a nice bike in some classy kit. I couldn’t stop staring and the other team scored on us (I was playing in the back), I didn’t let on what distracted me, in order to keep hidden the depths of my cycling obsessed from the footballers.
It was so refreshing! I either see folks in boring…

He actually hibernates most of the year, so he’s usually pretty lethargic when I let him out. Hey, just like with the Rules, I have my own standards. It was fun when people started wearing colorful, stripey socks and such. Now that people are trying to sell full white kits with unicorns and ice cream cones on them…I’m not feeling it at…
