Dan Maes, some crazy ass politico from Colorado, thinks bike sharing is a gateway drug into a socialist bender. I remember when I was in Denver and I rode one of these B-Cycle Bikes. Unbelievably, I found it hard to ward off thoughts of... Read More

I dig this track and thought it had an apropos message on election day. Get Ready It's a New Day, so Get out and VOTE! Also it is totally bike related because Ash Roth is rocking a fixie in the video. A slightly undersized fixie, cmon prop... Read More

This is one of them. Although, I question the girl's ability to actually ride this bicycle without her onesie/sweater or whatever the hell she's got on falling off. Not that I would object to such a thing, but there might be children around. ... Read More

Do you need a good reason to bike? After reading this article I never want to buy another drop of gasoline again. Check it out here: How America is being bought by Middle Eastern Sovereign... Read More

I always though nothing cool came from the east coast.  Mostly because Washington DC and New Jersey are located there. Thankfully I've been enlightened on both fronts by two things, the fabulous TV show "Jersey Shore" (i also highly recommend... Read More

Cannondale OnBike Final Design

Cannondale onBike straight up pushes the bike design envelope. Cannondale replaced the seat and chain stays with an enclosed single sided chaincase. Pretty awesome.  The... Read More

The BP, Halliburton, Transocean, MMS Gulf oil spill irks me beyond belief.  I'm now certain that being a liar and asshole is a prerequisite for running a large corporation.  That along with an ivy league diploma...   I see... Read More

Missed a few weeks. Mostly was trying to get my shit together and watching Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But here is a BOTW to redeem myself, if that's possible. It's the Affinity Kissena, a sweet and sassy track ride I'd like to wrap my... Read More

Well, here is another European babe on a bicycle. This is actually actress Famke Jansen, Dutch, and a Bond Girl.

If I was this hot I would be wearing a full face motocross helmet.  Gotta protect the money maker!

If I had to live in another country Sweden would probably be near the the top of the list. 

Obviously this photo is staged, but staged quite well.  If I had to imagine an idyllic summer day, this picture would include many aspects... Read More

This is a bicycle manufactured by Calfee.  The awesome thing about this bike is that it's made of bamboo.

Wow, this girl is my dream girl. I've got a thing for tats, so one whole arm is like whoa, omg. Plus she's rocking what looks to be a bad ass Bianchi.

Hola muchachos! Here is the bike of the week and holy shit is it badass. Custom build by Icarus Frames.  Who needs a seat tube!  Like whoa.  Love the internal cabeling too.

This is your prototypical European bicycle babe.  She's probably Dutch or maybe German (I think it says something German on the fence), but definitely European.  An occurence such as this is common in the bike friendly cities of... Read More

I lust after this. Sometimes a fixed gear isn't really all that.  I know people rip on Trek sometime because they think European bikes are better, but fuck, Trek makes some sweet rides.  Go USA!

This is the kind of bullshit that pisses me off.  You know this chick hasn't ridden a bicycle more than 100 yards since she was 12.  It's one thing to put a token hot girl on a hulking mass of metal like a Harley or a Ducati as... Read More

So sex sells right? The mantra of many an advertising executive, and i'm going to use it as an excuse to start the "Weekly Hot Girl on a Bicycle".  Read on for an in depth analysis of this picture where I make a lot of outrageous... Read More

I consider myself a purist when it comes to cycling.

Something about a simple steel frame road bike makes me feel warm and safe inside. I have strayed away from that pure and simple concept of a bike on two occasions, my xtracycle, which... Read More

I've been lugging around a backpack or messenger bag with all my daily necessities (computer, snacks, booze, prophylactics, books for readin' etc.). But this week I've experienced the revelation that panniers are amazing. No more sweaty back to... Read More

Maybe some of you think that Joe and I live in the attic of some apartment somewhere and all we do is compliment each other and talk about bikes. In fact this is only partially true. Joe and I compliment each other often and our main topic of... Read More

So I've been thinking about getting a touring bike for awhile now, especially since I have had a pair of paniers laying around for two years. I started browsing craigslist last week to see what I could find.  I saw a sweet old-school... Read More
