Honestly those are kinda weird photos. I don't look that young normally.

Pcad, there are virtual children who read and participate in this thread. Do you feel responsible for influencing them one way or the other?

Is this the ask Pcad anything thread?

Smooth? A significant road bump caused his hand to slip off. Watch the two cyclists before him in this clip. You can see them bump up and down.

Embedded. I see the road seam but not the similar bump.

I hate watching this clip! If you go back and watch close at .46 look at the rear wheel of his bike, its not on the ground. As soon as it touches his front hits the painted line and thats all folks.

Bicycles are too dangerous.

Pullin' up a front row seat to witness Uncle Pcad's 40,000th post. I estimate it should happen by Wednesday...

I'm getting far too sensible and mindful of safety. On my latest pretty bike, I did the most fredly thing. I mounted front and rear lights. I don't want to get caught out in the dark again.

I also put electrcal tape on a sadle. I'm particularly proud of this one.

is sports radio ever good?

My old pal Ben is back in the local peloton. He is the Bike Schwag King. He is on a new Giant SL with Di2. But of course. He's shopping wheels, I think he's going to wind up with those very cool new Zipp 303 tubies.

God I wish I had ridden to work today. Staring out the window as the sun brightens the day is bothering me; why do you taunt me so oh gigantic gas ball?

He should get the new 404 all carbon clinchers. Schwag-tastic. I think they have the same wider shape that those newer 303s have.

Why, when perennial All-Star players leave their team, do they go to New York? How boring. It's like, 'Hey, I'm not famous ENOUGH yet.'

+1 - yeah, the forecast in the morning had the possibility of rain during the morning and evening commutes, so I decided to skip it... now, I'm wishing that I had HTFU.
