Why does the NY Mets Twitter page say "We believe in comebacks?" When was the last time they came back from anything?

While at the ToC yesterday and walking around between circuits, a bike fell over with a gust a wind as I walked past. I went over to pick it up at the same time as the owner. The bike was the latest C offering from Motobecane. Built up with Ultegra, I couldn't help but notice how truly nice it was. I explained that I owned the AL frame version for a time, and while the AL frame design itself was rather pedestrian, this CF frame was quite nice. A lot of engineering went into it. His response was, "It's alright for what it is." The unspoken message was, "Yes, I know it's a Motobecane, bought off the internet from BD. Whatever." See what BF has done?
Speaking of falling over, I witnessed two non-pro cyclists falling over while on the climb. One slowed too much to avoid hitting someone and the other one shifted and his chain got stuck between cogs, and they both couldn't get their feet out in time. The first one was on the ground for quite some time as he couldn't unclip, even with the help of some bystanders, and the other was gently lowered to the ground by a passerby.

I have to say that I like the Addict so much I don't ride the S2 anymore. I've created a monster.

The shame... better take the road bike out today, or you'll have to move to the MTB forum.

horse poo is better than dog poo. it doesn't stick to your legs as much. i put this down to the high straw content. Another example of why fibre in the diet is so important. Cleaner poo.

Bikes: Orbea Orca, Ridley Compact
This is the first time I've had two road bikes and both which I like so I must admit it's tough choosing which one to take out, though I must say the Orca is my favorite since it feels so much easier and nicer to ride. I rode my BMC yesterday and today and I don't know what it is but it takes more effort to spin up than it does with the Orca; the BMC is heavier but it's not a tank either so I'm not sure if it's the wheelset that's the difference.

I do wonder what will come first, Lindsay Lohan's tragic death, or a bottom to her drinking and drugging that convinces her to get sober?
I hope for the latter, my money is on the former. Very sad state of affairs to watch somebody so young and so blessed with fortune and fame hurtling towards the abyss.
Oh well. The band played on.
