Not so very long ago, in the more hearty of my years, wintery riding was all of the norm. This is the part where I'd normally climb back into a bag of Doritos and flippantly dismiss mine lapse towards sentimentality onnacounta MTBR trolls and consumerization and mechanized polar bears, I would, if it wasn't for a more harsher reality. It hasn't been worth the effort. Layers upon layers upon layers. ...
Not unlike something more the norm, today has been declared an off day. While it has been determined a day of necessary rest, I am not entirely certain that it will be one entirely devoid of activity. In unrelated news. I swung by MTBR for a bit. I hate them. I hate this. I hate you. Just like I left it. And. Contrary to what you might think. Not remotely ...
A long long time ago on a garage floor not that far from here, our world-wide famous diSSent AL was crudely sketched in chalk and urine. A sample was run and (reluctant) testing began. At and around that same time, my thoughts and intents were laid forth at the feet of many a higher power on MTBR. While the offending thread is long since gone, the scars remain. 70mm bottom ...
DECALICIOUS - From the accounting files:"Moron. You do WHAT to every frame? You cut and weed and apply decals to every fucking frame? That's just a bullshit waste of your immense talents, find a better solution". From the consumer files:"Dude. Do something about the vinyl decals. When I smash my bike into shit or stuff it in the bike rack wrong they get all damaged". WE HAVE A ...
Short Story: Make up your fucking mind! Long Story: Help me make up my mind whilst I pretend the indecision is entirely yours! I have no intention of bantering about the same-olde same-as ideological rhetoric surrounding COUNTRY OF ORIGIN that I have countless times in the past...but I will. I have to. Truth be told, I better exploited this subject back in NOVEMBER. Trouble is, I don't feel any ...
Stage 7 of the Trans-Sylvania Epic went down almost exactly 27% better then we had planned. According to plan, we would steer clear of the looming fiasco in the GC. Despite being all professional, hair-less and supported to the gills it seems odd to me that these skeletal stinkers couldn't sort their shite out in the previous 6 days like everyone else. I suggest that you could presume it's because none of them ...
It is partially true, in a most flamboyant way. There was a half shot mobile update made upon that cancerous social networking invasion, MySpace But Better, that has caused some confusion. Mostly and essentially it was a cryptic message about a truck, burning buildings, bodily dessemblage and generally laying waste to Bolton and/or the Court of Dingle. Partially exaggerated in a most genuine way. There is truth. Details, like ...
Among other reasons, I hate you because of the offseason. Realistically speaking, the best one can hope for (during the offseason) is to impede a complete erosion of fitness. Many cyclists, too many cyclists, relish the affirmation that their season 'knows no end'. They declare with a heaping helping of superiority that, for them, 'cycling is a lifestyle'. These cyclists are duct taped grocery bag sock wearing idiots*. *And jerks. ...
Ultimate Gift Guide: Entertainment Top five must have material possessions to delight and enthrall the cyclist who could be you from the world of self absorbed attentions. In no particular order: Bicycle Design - MIKE BURROWS - 16$ Despite the obsession with couch bikes, it makes sense to know things. Plus, MTBR is in desperate need of another expert. PowerShot Digital Camera - CANON - 149$ Reliable. Adequate. Disposable if that's the ...
It is a locally know fact that potential products considered for inclusion in Psycledom evolve in an entirely juvenile, yet, totally patentable process. This process is nothing short of brilliant in its simplicity. Mere twinklings begin as crayola scribbles. Scribed in an intense fury of inspiration and glory on bar napkins or the back of past due notices. Ideally, the process would end here. Sitting quietly, content, admiring the vibrant ...
At precisely 23:59:59 Sunday September 6th a 30,000' spacial snapshot of LIESNSHITE psyclotraffic was obtained and archived. Peculiar and specific attention was associated to inbound link sources and volumetricies since 00:00:01 Monday August 10th. This is, understandably, a monumental task. For the past many hours an obscenely large and generally impressive sounding computronic device has been sitting diligently on the data. Intending to eventually be carefully crunching, crossing, absolving and analyzing the ...
Misfit Psycles has a moral and constructive obligation to surrender the recent findings of an unintentional poll. Cyclists are GEEKS. This is not news. This is a statement of fact. The news is, Cyclists are evidentially absurd perverse GEEKY FREAKS. Despite all the profesionalist newscastering going on and down at LIESNSHITE of late... Fat Cyclist PRS Email Overload Intermondisaster Team Acquisitions More Bars ...many of you seem hell bent on ...
Once SPAM has been sifted and filtered the actual number of reasonable and intelligible communications is down to a manageable whatever. Normally. Unless yesterday happens to be a fabricated holiday. Then that number exceeds the 8 hundreds. One of the fine points of residing in the Canadian Pseudo Socialist Republic of Communist Amerika is the residual holidays imposed by the ruling class to honor their proletarian brethren. Incidentally, most non-governmental and ...
Wandering a KCMO grocery I was reminded of something. I used to collect L'Eggs eggs. I don't remember why or what for but I do remember that I took them from my grandmother. Was that wrong? As a result of things, Albion is temporarily closed to mountain biking. For at least this week, we'll get a taste of what life would be like without it. I already feel like a ...
