untrainable

I bought a trainer a few years ago, and not surprisingly, it primarily functions as a bike stand. The weather lately has just been all over the place, so I haven’t been getting a whole lot of riding in. When I do ride, the fact that I don’t ride often becomes painfully evident. [...]

inspiration

Wow I really need to start riding. I should be logging consistent miles soon I promise. Til the, heres a neato picture for all of us to use as motivation.

bleh

Some days it just isn’t meant to be. Today I hoofed it around Gainesville College Trail just once before I had to call it a day. It was muddy…just muddy enough to be annoying and slow.  Moreso than the mud though, once I made it to the end of my first loop, I was really [...]

real style

 

Don’t get me wrong, I love all the incredibly difficult tricks that are being done on BMX bikes these days, but there is no substitute for classic style. Here we have Hutch pro racer Tim Judge demonstrating what style really means circa mid 80’s. Fully laid out tabletop one footer, with height…yeah, thats the [...]

it’s brrr time

Yesterday TWC forecasted it would get up to 45°F today, so when I went out around 3pm, I figured that’s about what the temp was, though it felt a bit colder. Wundergorund is showing it never got above 39°F today. That’s more like what it felt like. The sky was nice and [...]

no news

I just started the quarter at school and haven’t had any bike news to report.
It snowed here in Georgia, and I was gonna get out the mountain bike and go do some powerslides, but the snow didn’t lay on the roads around here…just on the grass and trees.
Can’t wait til spring….

gettin fixed

It’s been 6 weeks now since I built The Fooj. It’s the only bike I’ve ridden since then, as I intended to spend some quality time getting used to riding a fixed gear to see how I like it. Today I finally got out the old Scatmobile for a geared ride, so I’m [...]

road bike fever

I’ve got the road bike fever bad. Having a road bike with gears will round out my stable of scoots so that I never have to turn down a chance to head out with a group because I don’t have an appropriate bike. On one hand, I could always just try to take my fixed [...]

moist vs BMX

I knew this girl once who couldn’t stand the word moist. It’s very moist out today…hovering somewhere between fog and rain. Since I can’t ride, lets use the wayback machine to examine another stylin BMX bikes from days long ago

Ah yes, the classic Mongoose. Undisputedly one of the most successful frame designs ever, selling [...]
