cyclist injured in hit and run video shows how complicated an accident scene can be

Don’t get me wrong, I feel kind of bad for Anthony Jackson. The video of him getting hit by a minivan is circulating the intertron, no doubt causing outrage from biketivists everywhere. Rightly so…the driver should have stopped.
BUT…
What the hell was Anthony thinking riding his bike right across the front of the pumps at a [...]

Giant Modem 2003 and Danny Way is sick

I bought the 03 Giant Modem from the guy down the street from me. It was in about the shape I expected. I had to have the guy tighten up the front cones. The wheels are a little bent…even though this guy has not one but TWO truing stands at his garage workshop. I think [...]

park morning and clear juice

Yesterday I headed over to Addictive Cycles to pick up a tube for the ol GT Performer. While I was there Hodge sorted me out with an ancient used tire…in fact he handed me the whole wheel from some repair they must have done a zillion years ago…it was some sort of metal mag wheel! [...]

broken Mongoose frame update

Took my 07 Otero Super out to the Performance I bought it from, which is a zillion miles away from my house. The whole way there I rehearsed the scenarios I expected to be met with when I rolled in and said I expected the cracked frame to be under warranty, but it turned out [...]

blowout comb

park rash update

Well, as is par for the course with a road rash type injury, it looks worse now than it did when it happend. I have found (the hard way) that scraping/abrasion cuts tend to take about 6 hours or so to -develop-, as if they are some kind of photographic film or something. Following the [...]

dragging on…

Okay, so there has been -some- improvement with my arm injury. I have managed to slowly lift it all the way up over my head, and also slowly use it to work the drive up ATM. It’s a little scary that moving it under it’s own power is coming back at the rate it is. [...]

only half a noob

Something funny happened today. I was over at Chicopee Trails, having gone over with my buddy G-Dub with the intention of riding from the Nature Center through the golf course and up into the neighborhood that adjoins the entrance, keeping to the road since my arm injury makes trail riding impossible. As I was milling [...]
