S-class: I have been negligent
August 18, 2008 | 1 Comment
I love artisanal bicycle caps. They don’t always suit me, but I always give them a try. Imagine my delight when my own hosting site gave birth to an interesting hat-making project in the hands of s-class, who has been making caps and giving them away anonymously around Boston.
Thinking that I would never, ever stumble […]

What I Think is tired. Bike shop, bike riding, finishing up writing projects, and now a brief (hopefully) spring cold - not to mention the season finales of “The Office” and the ongoing careers of “Lost” and “Battlestar Galactica.”
This makes me a bad blogger.
The mojo will return, I promise.

Look, everybody, all I was saying is that I was surprised to hear about a new bike race, the Bologo Heartbreak Hill Grand Prix, in Boston. Needless to say I am excited about it, and it certainly didn’t seem like “old news.” Of course I would expect to see info about the event posted on […]

Cool! Log your rides! For exactly no reason at all! Come on, you know you have all those hours at work you need to waste, why else would you be reading a blog?
Better yet, join the new Boston group right here.

When Facebook went wrong
December 5, 2007 | 1 Comment
I just got an email from Facebook with a “friend request” from someone I don’t know.
Okay, it’s possible that we once or twice passed through the same airspace, but this is just weird. I went to high school with said individual. Her last name is Shifflette. In Charlottesville, VA, the “S” section of the telephone […]

I love Urban Velo!

They put a link to my blog on their blog! (Well, I also linked to them, but they’re much bigger than me.)
Hey UV, can I subscribe to the physical version of your mag? At a price that would include shipping for X number of issues into the future?
More bloggy action from me soon, I’ve been […]

Follow-up on the World Cup pissing match
August 3, 2007 | 6 Comments
A few weeks ago, there was a bit of a flurry of activity – or should I say, accusations and insults? – on some cycling blogs about a cancelled/postponed/planned-in-future UCI World Cup cyclocross race aimed to potentially take place in Providence, RI. I don’t quite know how I got dragged into it, except that I […]

Belgian Knee Warmers and NYC Bike Snob
June 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Two websites I admire:
I spotted Belgian Knee Warmers only recently, through GeWilli. Good cycling writing, that’s awesome. Clips of races past? Even better. Where’d Radio Freddy get this stuff? I love it. Best of all, he’s put in a link to me! Cheers, man, and thanks.
NYC Bike Snob was pointed out last week on Drunkcyclist. […]

Lay the fuck off

I wrote this yesterday in this space:
“Once again, I am stunned by the world of blog. No one reads anything I say for, like, years, until someone gets all annoyed about it and then the flaming begins. Can’t we be a little nicer?”
Now the insult-slinging about this cyclo-cross event, postponed or no, has taken a […]

Shout out to CTodd
March 30, 2007 | 2 Comments
I met one of the Boston-area cycling bloggers last night. Mr. CTodd. He and I aren’t linked, but the folks to whom I am linked (GeWilli and Kerry Litka) do connect with him. (Then there’s Bruce, who’s blog I can’t actually seem to find right now.) Yes indeedy. Always interesting to meet real people in […]
