Feel like I can come up with a better, more plausible excuse for carrying the hammer I already own.

It's for your own safety.

Love how Olympic coverage ages broadcast footage from 1998 to look like the Zapruder film.

Monobob should mean it has one giant blade in the middle and nobody riding in it. #monorail

Ah, Bobby, Outside MegaOmniMedia’s 2025 Rider of the Year.

I'm sure George Hincapie is psyched that Armstrong's story is back in the news right as he's trying to launch his new team.

My work here is done.

Wait, is JBV coming in hot with the Tennessee Valley Authority? Respect.

Once wrote a piece for which I had to trace the shifting dates, formats, and identities of a bunch of Italian semi-classics, and let me tell you, it was a whole journey.

Thanks to the Olympics, I now know that XC skiing has its own Pogacar.

Having covered parts of this at the time, I feel like it was intriguing *then* because we didn't know for sure what was behind the curtain. Now that we do, it's just not that interesting.

It can be a form of cheering. Whistling (complimentary), if you will.

Every Olympics, a new cycle of Americans gets to learn that whistling doesn’t mean the same thing pretty much everywhere else.

a pair of white hands on a black background with the words ohmygif.net below them Alt: a pair of white hands on a black background making a rapid series of gestures, not unlike those of a bicycle vlog host discussing a history of stem bolts.

“Now let’s dig in to SRAM’s newest shifters…”

I don’t know how all these dudes with bike vlogs move their hands that much.

Yes.

Yeah. And none of the above is intended to discount the competitor mindset she has to have to achieve what she has, which I'm sure drives the decision-making as well.

Not too risky to guess that she has a host of contracts that only pay out if she at least *starts* at the Olympics, with performance bonuses on top. Those may be a lost cause, but the injury drama/narrative will deliver some value. Maybe moreso than results.

Fired up a brand new machine; it sounds like a chainsaw. Send video to the retailer.
"Oh, you probably just need to remove the front panel and either push the pump back or tighten the mounts."
My brother, I just like coffee. I am not looking for a hobby.

From what I've seen, the espresso machine business is the only rival to the cycling industry in terms of its expectations of customers.

Remember, empty CO2 cartridges are lighter than full ones.

Every review of TPU tubes I read is something like, "they're super unreliable and often don't even hold air out of the box, but I love having one in my seat bag for emergencies." 🤔

Bunch of cycling normies about to learn that Roger De Vlaeminck had a brother.

Road season started.

Del Grosso out there representing all of us who are not the children of elite world champions.

Do people on LinkedIn hear themselves?

Feel the globalization!

The hell with bike racing; doing all the workouts just to lessen the risk of being the guy who dies shoveling.
