  1. @rdouble Yeah, I call NYC home, but I wasn't a cyclist there. I can't imagine riding there in the worst of the winter.
  2. @olivercameron Hah! Now Google "Aero Helmet" for a good larf.
  3. @Chris_Randall Oh, right.
  4. @olivercameron Do you know how ripped I'd be doing 20 miles each way from Berkeley to Palo Alto? Wait, I'm convincing myself here...
  5. So, like, every town I'd rather live in (NYC, SFO, PDX) rates better on Bicycling mag's best cycling cities than TUS. Why am I here again?
  6. @willb You Category 1 guys are so cute, worrying about UCI-legality.
  7. @willb shush! The *only* reasonable solution IS TO BUY A NEW BIKE!
  8. @don_k_gunn @Chris_Randall The best thing is watching some fat guy's (like me!) eyes light up at shaving 800 grams off their next bike.
  9. Love you guys. I hope you're all happy tonight. instagr.am/p/LHErr1vt3t/
  10. @Chris_Randall If there's a steel TT bike, I'm in. ;-)
  11. @Tawnie Though I did stop Episode IV last night and ask my 4 y.o. "What rule did Luke break?" ... "He whined, papa!"
  12. This "First Wave" station on XM radio seriously has my deep-dive nostalgic number. Bronski Beat?
  13. @Chris_Randall I will *never* attempt an IM-distance without a TT bike again. (Did 2010 on a road bike, never again) I plan on renting.
  14. @Tawnie Sacrilege! If you talk any shit about "Empire Strikes Back," it's over between us!
  15. Discovered cracks in my road bike's carbon frame today. Darnit. Now I have to buy a really expensive new bike. For, you know, safety.
  16. bike snob NYC on Madison, WI: "Move there if you want to reside somewhere where uttering "Oh Shucks" qualifies as road rage." /cc @willb
  17. Unbelievably great day for a ride. Can't believe it's Tucson at the end of May.
  18. Watching Episode IV with Kid 1.0 to celebrate 35th anniversary. I was only a couple years older than her when I saw it in Taipei.
  19. @willb We keep having full-on HE'S COMING moments then an hour later it's all "you wanna watch some Sherlock or something?" #rollercoaster
