Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. So I just laughed 'til I cried. That was amazing.

I'm a big fan of the 56 x 11 and his reccomendation that kids "shouldn't worry about helmets" because they "cover up your cool doo-rag"

Best local legend ever. That guy is truly hilarious to ride with.

First time I did the 'shootout' (the sat AM group ride in Tucson) I was hardly alive dragging myself back home with the pack when that dude's antics put a smile on my face and woke me right up.

Watched the video with Will Frischkorn - that is one of the worst interviews I've ever watched. Unbelievably crap.

[edit: the interviewer I meant...]

Alright, flame away, but after watching all 15min, I can't tell if he's serious or not. If he's joking around he's one lucid grey wolf. If not, then we should get him to go around giving his doo-rag talk to all the inner city schools, bring a new level of cool to the doo-rag.

Truly the OCP King. Sorry Pcad.

And he's right; Screw helmets. They just ruin a perfectly good do-rag.

seems to me we've found a perfect test subject for the new LEW pro VT-1 wheels, if he's using em to haul 40 pounds of groceries, it ought to be a good test to see what fails and when.

The interviewer displayed remarkable restraint. Perfectly understated.
