Crap I love: the Selle SMP Strike saddle

I’ve spent the last four years riding a handful of different bikes a few thousand miles total and in that time I’ve learned a lot about how my body works, what kind of bike feels most comfortable, and areas where comfort can be improved.
It took quite a bit of trial and error to find […]

Crap I Love: Muck Boots

This past summer, I finally started using Quicken and running a budget to see where all my money was going. The most important thing I learned was that I wasted a lot of money buying lame junk I didn’t need so I stopped. I cut back on spending but realized I still buy stuff that […]
