Most people who do work on their bike themselves have come across a place like this. The garage is stacked high with every bike part imaginable. You know what your looking for is in there, you just don't know if it will take 1 hour or 1 week to find it. Reminds me of crate digging for vinyl records. 

Love this picture of racing in the snow. The rider is dressed the same as he would be for a race on the sunniest day of summer. It's everyone else that is having trouble with the conditions. 

Bike of the week goes to this old Raleigh from the 70s. Steel frame, sturmey archer 3 speed internal hub, brooks saddle. This bike has definitely stood the test of time. And prob still rides better than half of the stuff on the road. 

Some days you don't have time for a long ride, but you still feel the need to get on your bike. Other days you're out for a leisurely cruise, but you still need to put a little work on. No days off. 

First off, I love this bike. It looks real comfortable and is super stylish- a perfect city bike. Second, I love the outfit and its juxtaposition with the bike. It's cool to see someone commuting on this bike to, what I imagine, is work since it seems like a bike one of the kids from Sandlot would ride to a pickup baseball game. 

Many people look down on skateboarders. Many people also hate bikers, in the city at least. So therefore, many people must really hate biking skateboarders. However, I'm all about it. Mostly because watching someone ride a bike to go skateboarding is a perfect exemplification of bike utility. Sometimes, the favorite wheels you ride aren't on a bike, but you still understand the importance of having one. 

I chose this girl purely for the badass look of determination she has to whoop the ass of whoever is across from her. Each time I look at the picture, I get a little closer to pissing my pants in fear. 

Sometimes you can't make it all the miles to the next store. It's hot, you're tired, and the nutrients are on the road right in front of you.
