As you're probably tired of hearing by now, this evening at 6:30 I will be visiting the Rapha Cycle Club in the Bowery, which is a once-gritty and now "douchey" area in Manhattan ... Once there, I will display images loosely connected to the theme of "epic." I will also give away a few t-shirts and other random items I have in my home (who wants the toilet plunger?), probably by "curating" a game of "Rapha Price Is Right" in which people must guess how outrageously priced certain Rapha garments

As I mentioned in my Wednesday Bonus Blog today, having acquired Alberto Contador, Bjarne Riis (known as "Mr. 60%" during his riding days in reference to his hair-to-scalp ratio) announced that his new charge will attempt to pull off the so-called "Grand Slam." This, of course, refers to the feat of winning the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France, and the Vuelta a España all in the same season, and not to the popular Denny's breakfast special of the same name ... It's unclear what Contador

We will soon be receiving our first delivery of Singular Cycles frames. Singular is best known in the MTB world for their simple steel quality beauties but we're very excited to see what we can do with them in the city. For starters the Peregrine, their 700c frame on the bottom image, might be the most versatile frame I'v seen since the Surly Cross Check. But unlike the cross check it builds up perfectly into a tourer & the finish like all the Singular frames is as high end as they come. How

This year has been chock full of ups and downs, mostly downs ... I went on a 3 and a half month hiatus of riding my bike to work ... I have no excuses, I was just consumed by the convenience of having a car again and sort of forgot that riding to work may take a little longer, but is far more entertaining and less stressful to boot ... I'm more motivated than I have been in a long time, and with that, I almost want to reward myself and/or motivate myself even more by maybe investing in a new

I opted for a smaller group this time, as you can tell. Almost half of the people who had initially said "Yes" to the ride bailed out yesterday (for completely legitimate reasons), leaving eight intrepid souls to take the ride. I'm bad with names, so I can't remember Drew's guests names, but there was also Badger, Darius, Eric, Ben and myself ... Eric was rocking his brand new Surly LHT, which he's just picked up. I'm jealous. More and more of my serious commuting friends have some kind of nice
