That is smart.

Headline: New strain of influenza mysteriously spreads among bicycle commuters.

Cuz that's handier than a fucking foot.

That post would also protect any pedestrian standing there waiting for the light.

Expensive Indian...

I want that bike.

If your bicycle seat is at the proper height, that device is indeed much handier than a foot.

Ever wonder what Griff does in his spare time?

Mid 30's...

Bicycle leg...

Hurk.

I suspect this may be electric powered/assisted so you won't get that leg.

Is that a painting? By R. Crumb maybe?

That's pretty sweet. I'm kinda tempted to do a pump track here. Same thing less the jumps.

I can't imagine the work it would take to keep that track smooth... after every damn rain. :eyebrow:

There is a growing disparity in expectations for surfaces. The "park" kids seem to want things highly manicured which is fine in it's place. A lot of us want more of a raw experience. Naturally this leads to conflict cuz humans.

I had to go to Chrome to get that to open again.
My memory was right in that the ride is littered with a gazillion tarps to keep it dry when it rains.

As for smooth riding, I remember mentioning to a pro waterskiing friend how great a local lake had looked that morning, perfectly flat and calm.
He scoffed: "That's no fun, the bigger waves the better!"
He would regularly break himself in pieces on the ocean.

Danny solving the bicycle on a treadmill problem.

Danny has some skills.

I saw one the other night where he rides onto a tennis court, stops dead parallel to and beside the net, then leaps over the net sideways landing on his wheels and rides away. That's not possible, that's cartoon shit, that can't be done by humans... he's not human. :unsure:

The stunt where he ghost rides the bike up the springboard to the pommel horse and remounts on the flip took like 700 reps. The one he used was around the 500th try and he still didn't like it because of where the pedals ended up. He is a perfectionist.

I saw video of him with his childhood friends from Skye. They considered him unbreakable and always "used" him first when someone had a crazy idea.

Tried to get that on IE: "Unavailable."
Same on Chrome.

Damn.

I mean damn.

Some great moments in that clip.

Heh, looks like ya need a five year old Firefox browser.:cool:

Almost makes joining a gym seem like fun. almost

Worked on IE, no prob.
That is astounding! Here's more:

Besides, he has normal calves.
Where is the tennis net clip?

I like it!

I especially liked the framing, much better than most. When giving the viewer the perspective of the rider, it's very nice to include at least a little of the horizon. And they appear to be good MTB ambassadors, staying on the trail, walking/carrying sometimes. Realistic. And very pretty scenery.

Thanks!

I surprised they are allowed to use those Mt Washington trails.
I think it's unnecessary abuse of the equipment to ride trails like that but it's their shit.
I think I'd want a Bibendum suit. ;)

:lol2: Stop making me learn stuff!!

It's the end of the line for Dirt Rag Magazine. I don't know if they'll keep going on-line but sometimes the death of printed media is a bummer. This is one of those times.

Car magazines too, 14 last month.

Damn, that's quite a winnowing.

That's because there are a lot of magazines but very few publishers. Less magazines means less employees, smaller payrolls and the belief the subscribers will gravitate to one of their other publications. I found with that specialty publication it was the personality of the writers as much as the topic of the article. They set the tone and if their attitudes didn't clash with mine I'd stick with them. I subscribed to Car & Driver for 50 years, whereas my brother prefered Road & Track. They covered the same subjects but had a different feel.

There used to be a number of bike mags as well. Dirt Rag was nice because they were less about moving shiny new and more about lifestyle. Pete has been moving around food magazines as they keep failing.

Back when two wheels was getting sorted out and everyone was in the same camp.

what was old is new again

Gluttons for punishment. :eek:

Cotton Picker??

Cuz it's white, I reckon...

Yeah, but the rest are all Krates.

Here's a parking spot...

A softer ride? Probably not for off road.... come to think of it the condition of the roads would preclude it also.

We got bikes. Amanda got hers from Santa, I just got mine from me.

It's a good town for bikes. Just gotta decide what I want on my license plate. I don't eat honeycomb cereal anymore, so I'll have to make my own.

They're both single speed coaster brake normal beach bikes.

Yipes, don't ride that at night without lights. :headshake

Could go together...

I'm guessing the other forward pointing bars are the highway cruising pegs.

For grinding handrails when you take the steps.

Keep your feet from getting blendered on downhills.

I'd expect a clutch mech for that. An extra foot/body position is always nice on a longer jaunt.

For longer jaunts go to three wheels....

Hmm... 463 ft up and 476 feet down.
At the end they buried you 13 ft deep while Ben was ready to go again. :haha:

Usually its pretty close. Yesterday not so much.
