You're never going PRO, get over it.


Guest author: SGM


Why is it that a certain Singlespeeder at Short Track thinks his race is more important than mine? I thought last year's behavior -- when he yelled at every woman that he was about to pass to get out of his way, to move left when there was no left, to sacrifice their cadence so that he could take their line -- was perhaps an anomaly.

Judging by his behavior on the track last nite, it seems to be the norm.

Here's some news: the next time you yell at me to move over so that you can have my line, I'm not only going to roll steady, I'm going to block your ass for as long as I can. Deliberately and deliciously. Every time. Know why? Because my race is just as important as yours, just like every other loser on that track's race is equal in importance to yours.

You're old Tim, and aggro testosterone doesn't equate to PRO, bro.
p.s. You lost.

Can any bike show organizer win?

Is it possible to "win" as the organizer of any event where so many are so creative, so competitive and so guarded?

I know that Don is pretty much Golem of shows, but maybe he's not so bad (dress aside)?



So, let's say a bunch of builders were together and agreed to what a different sort of "show" might be. But still, somehow, for some reason, they aren't all immediately getting behind it and helping to get other like-minded and equally talented builders engaged. What's up with that?

Tan lines are cool.


I don't get why it is people work so hard to look so dumb. One of the things that I like best about cycling is that when you've got your shirt off is that you have wicked tan lines. Your torso is meant to be bright white, and your limbs dark, dark brown. Anything less means you haven't been riding enough. So, why on earth would you even bother to do this? Be proud of who you are.
