So for the final weekend of having a thyroid gland, I decided to be a big roller and take my sister and I on a biking/hiking/kayaking trip at the McKenzie River Trail. Check it out – Rated #1 for having the best bike trails in America!! We’ll take lots of pics – I’m super excited.…
This shirt goes straight to the bad and ugly, but yet there is a certain tongue in cheek (hardee har har) element to it that is non typical of the snobby cycling scene. I bring you Cycle Buttcrack jerseys. The name is exactly what the product is. It’s a shirt that makes it look like…
High level summary: I hate this bike So while in Massachusetts visiting my family, I rented bikes for my friend and I. I could have rented the lovely Specialized StumpJumper, a $1700+ bike, for $50 per person, or a Jamis Hybrid, a $300+ bike, for $25 per person. I made a huge mistake in getting…
So after disclosing that I have Teh Cancerz, people kept saying I could pull “the cancer card”. So while visiting my dad the other day, we had the following conversation: Me: Daaad. I have cancer. Will you buy me a new bike?? Dad: Sure. What do bikes cost these days? A few hundred dollars? Me:…
So this is actually old news for anyone living in Los Angeles, but I thought I’d post this for the non-Angelinos. There was recently an event in Los Angeles lovingly referred to as Carmageddon.

While perusing cycling related stuff the other day, I stumbled across the following three items. Although I’m not a huge fan of Specialized,…
So last week people celebrated the day I was cut out of my mother’s body. It really should be a celebration for my mom, who not only had to gestate and birth me, but then put up with me for 18 years. One of my fabulous readers-turned-friend gave me some birthday gifts! I just recently…
Today’s post is merely a link to Cracked.com’s hee-lare-eous article on why the Tour de France is so great to watch. I completely agree with the last three reasons. It’s the reason I watch it! Right up there with hockey! I used to read Cracked (and Mad magazine) all the time as a kid. Good…
So not only is my life extremely interesting, but pretty darn humorous as well.* Here are some putterings from the past two days: –The most dangerous part of my commute is passing the McDonald’s.
