Yeah too bad he had to go up against Contador. I think he stopped riding well because he stopped using a good doping regimen not because of injuries.

I liked the bit where he was looking down at the rear wheel and then the bicycle popped into view with the rear tire completely off the rim; that must have been when the tire finally gtfood’ed and his machine stopped sliding around like the rear end was on ice.

Fred and I met them at the first Oregon Outback. I didn’t actually get to ride with them but they were super friendly during pre-ride festivities.  
Bought a SWALLOW bike jersey from them and they were super accommodating with my sizing shuffle.

Pretty sure they had a tent with hot cider at Cinci3 races. If you got there early enough, it had whiskey in it.

S/O to the lady on BGT, in nursing scrubs, sandals and no helmet, pedaling an old ten speed no hands while reaching behind her back to fish something out of one of her two giant shoulder bags, signaling turns with her banana-eating hand. Made my morning

i ride no handed all the time. unless i’m on the basket bike, because unsafe.

the other day i was riding no handed, listening to my headphones, forgot i was in public and was like singing or dancing or something and some kids saw me, but they gave me a look like i was cool, and not a total dork, so i was cool with it

I feel like a total herb when riding no handed. I enjoy it but always feel slightly guilty.
