Quoted for truth. Carbon with flat tops or forget it.

Apparently the garden bamboo that invades like crazy around here is useless as a structural material. We need to import some pandas.

I'm not a fan either. Never had it on any of my bikes, but I've wrapped plenty down at the shop. My least favorite tape to install.

Was just invited to a touch football game with a bunch of elderly men this weekend.

It was an April Fool's prank. Not even the two-hand emphasis hipped me and I got all huffy. Such a chump. At least I was the occasion for some amusement.

I went back and rescued a bunch of mine. It’s been a while, I think it just let me drag them out.

Two seconds on or off, which includes time to find the right spot to touch it without getting dirty.

That water bottle clashes with your frame

I used to be able to click on a link and the picture would show up here or wherever I put it. Now, the best I can do is place the link, not the picture.
