No words needed for this one

Gotta love vintage cycling footage!

Same goes for this.

You're probably wondering how a human could possibly ride that bike. However,  with some image rotation courtesy of EuroJosh over at Tarckbike, it becomes clear that this bike was made for some serious climbing.

 

If only it was this nice here

I'd also like to introduce you to my next cross/mtb frame: the Drakkar

Yikes! the rest is here

Vintage cyclocross video

I think races need more log barriers. Cross doesn't seem to have changed much over the years.

Be There!

Is this a joke?

Holy shit, this's a lot of logo.

First chance to ride in show (hell yes)

This was an impromptu 20 minute ride on the bmx with the bmx. Dropped the tire pressure to get some tractions. The only thing bothering me was the falling snow because I didn't wear any eye protection. That became very obvious when I 'bombed' (coasted down, ended up almost losing speed) and could barely see. The rest of the ride was fun. Ended up getting called a 'retard' by some super cool middle schoolers in a church parking lot. I had a couple of come backs in mind but decided to take the high road and ignore them and continue on my way.

I would recommend this. Especially if you can do it within sight of others.

Road ID elite

Back in November, I got a Road ID Elite for my birthday. It came with the o.i.r.s.o.s.s.t.t.(online identity response system or something similar to that) for first responders if you ever crash. I got the green band. It's adjustable to any wrist size, but be careful with cutting it, once you cut it, it's that length. It looks good and is high quality, almost like cycling chic (something like that). Can't speak of how well the o.i.r.s.o.s.s.t.t. works, but that's definitely a good thing.

Question of the day

If a car has an aerodynamic bike(aero wheels, frame, ect) on top of it, does the car become aero by association?
