No, you could only make that assertion if he was 20 years older. PBR is new and cool again, for the young’uns!

Can confirm that drinking PBR makes me feel totally cool and hip.

I thought I didn’t like red bikes until I saw that TCX. That “TRON Red” glows in the dark.

Oh great… now that you’ve pointed this out, I have to get a TRON Blue bike as part of my ongoing rivalry.

Well the good news is the TCR Advanced 2 seems like a lot of bike for the money. Fight for the users.

I’ve noticed that LSG has disliked my new blue racer steed. It’s a sure sign that he’s very nervous about both my bike jousting skills and bike TRON skills.

He’s now got all of them up. Like thousands.
I never get tired of looking at these pictures. Makes me wish March were 50 days long.
Oh, and Tania looks scared this week.

Bicycling Magazine ran a story and photos by Bruce Buckley, the photographer we see at all the events.
komorebi was quoted, and there are a bunch of great photos from the greatest underground bike races in all of the region, maybe the world.

Just read this and had to share:
So what exactly is it about racing towards an opponent on a horse galloping at up to 30mph while wearing heavy armour and brandishing a 3.6m (12ft) wooden lance that makes jousters so fit?

It’s why I’m so fit and sometimes work as a male model.
