I feel dirty. Probably the same way that Eddie Murphy felt when he was arrested for soliciting a transvestite bobbing for apples. Although not as drastic as tranny fornication I feel just as vile….I bought a mountain bike and I’ve been riding it….a lot. Some might not view this as perverse. I know of roadies [...]

I was enjoying an above average conversation with a non-cycling buddy when he proposed a valid question: “Why are all road cyclists such pricks?” Obviously this is a stereotypical assumption, but I have to admit this wasn’t the first time I said it… I mean, uh, heard it.

Austin mentioned that a few turds commented on my posts being “too edgy”. He didn’t name names, and I didn’t ask.

I’ve been sorting through a barrage of “Earth Day” spam mail from friends, family and others that I don’t really give two shits about.
