Why the hell is this thing on Bonktown?

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 suppose someone will use them after crash, during sleeping in hospital. I guess you cannot use big speakers in hospital.

It says you can "Rock the Skullcandy Skullcrusher Subwoofer Headphones on the slope or at home". I assume that means ski slopes, which sounds much safer.

I'm bummed I missed out on the ls wool jerseys for $30 shipped yesterday though. They had some good deals running, but I just wasn't quick enough to pull the trigger when I saw them late in the timer.

Yeah, they're those Castelli bibs again:


I like how they're described as a "contemporary, timeless design" that "ensures your kit is still in style next year" even though they don't match a damn thing I own.

That's why they're timeless. They won't match a damn thing you own next year either.

Backcountry has a thing for SkullCandy. I think it is that they are both SLC based companies. Maybe they are to go with the running shoes they keep offering.

there was a thread about why people wear black jerseys. I suppose a plain all black jersey might match it.

Ooh, now they've got some earbuds on there so we can have that whole discussion about whether or not it's ok to ride with them. I don't think I've done that yet today.
