Tempo fugit

Yes, it’s that time of year again — the season of indoor cycling, which sucks a mile of yak dong but still beats ballooning to Orson Wellesian proportions due to one’s fondness for food and drink.
I usually bolt a lesser bike to my Cateye CS-1000 trainer for use in evil weather, but this is an [...]

Let’s us preserve the moment in pictures

Howler of the day: The infamous road-rager Dr. Christopher T. Thompson says he never slammed on his brakes in front of cyclists Ron Peterson and Christian Stoehr — he merely stopped to take pictures of them.
This asshole’s lawyer must eat a lot of Chinese takeout, ’cause he appears to be basing his strategy on the [...]

Blast from the past (and present)

The FBI croaked what it described as the leader of a Muslim fundamentalist group today during a series of raids in Dearborn and Detroit, Michigan.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the late Luqman Ameen Abdullah was the leader of a group that calls itself “Ummah, a group of mostly African-American converts to Islam, which seeks [...]

“What we concluded was that a lot [...]

Pick right target when shooting off mouth

Journalists, like cops, get to see people at their worst. This holds true even in sporting journalism, as I am reminded all too frequently.
Case in point: The boys at VeloNews forward me a letter to the editor from a Denver reader who is beside himself over a photo in the December issue of single-speeder/mountain biker [...]

A crunch you can’t get with the Cap’n

I don’t remember exactly when I first started liking a little salad with breakfast. It’s probably Hal’s fault — he’s more of a culinary pioneer than I am and has been known to eat all kinds of weird items first thing in the morning. Living at altitude 15 miles from a piss-poor grocery will do [...]
