I'm really happy to hear Google launched their support of bikes in their Maps app today.

Off to Interbike
_DSX3108.jpg, originally uploaded by Hugger Industries. Near the end of high school, I finally scored a job at a local bike shop, fulfilling my dream to have fun while making $3.35/hour. It was 1989 and every year then and after, I secretly lusted after the Interbike passes my friends deeper in the bike industry would …
BMX Nostalgia

I can’t believe Blyther can still do decent airs on a tiny quarterpipe. I can’t believe Ron Wilkerson tried all those crazy drop-ins he used to have down pat. I can’t believe Dave Nourie can still do every flatland trick in his 80s routines. There’s nothing …

Cycle Oregon 2008
I finally wrote up my experiences of riding in Cycle Oregon this year. There is a small sampling of the photos I took and the lessons I took away from the event. It really was one of the best vacations I've ever done and was easily the most fun I've had on a bike. I'll …
August cycling/diet update
In August I hit two major goals I set for myself on January 1st of this year, and they were two goals I didn’t think I’d achieve. I surpassed 2,000 miles ridden and I did it just before completing my first century (100 mile) ride. Up until this year, I’ve always ridden about 600-800 miles …
