BURRITOS!!!

I've known about things like the burrito project for a few years. I think it's an awesome idea, and I'm sure it's appreciated a lot.

However, we never see any videos of the bums talking about the burritos. No one speaks of the flavor, or any pain they might experience in the lower intestines from them.

I'm not so sure I would trust some kid in skin tight jeans with a bad mustache and a funny looking bike to give me food. I suppose it's better than not eating all.

Keep up the good work guys!!

Mid-west ridding

I don't know how familiar any of you are with the mid-west, specifically ILLINOIS. So let me paint a picture for you. It's not totally flat, little hilly here and there. Further north you get patches of thick woods made of skinny ass trees. Run down farms everywhere, juxtaposed with brand spanking new empty strip-malls every where. For the most part, the area is open farm land. Open to the elements.

The weather out here hits all the extremes. -10 winters, 110 summers. Snow in June, and 90 degree days at the end of November. Because of this, the roads are torn apart so bad, it's like ridding down the back side of a cheese grader.

...and then there is the wind. Coming from all direction, often changing in the middle of a 40 mile ride. Mmm...head wind both ways. The wind can be so bad, your better off wearing goggles as opposed to sun glasses. I can still feel the tears running like rain down the side of my cheek.

I think the mid-west has the capability of producing riders just as "hard" as the Belgians or the northern French.

There is no real point to this, or anything I write. I just like the sound of my own voice, or keyboard as it were.

Remember BMX. I do. My knees sure as hell do. For what ever reason, the bicycle industry never really fully embraced BMX. Especially with all the $$$ to be made there. Kids will always buy what the pros got, no matter how ridiculous or the coast. It seems BMX is more like skateboarding than cycling. I guess that's fine, but all the freeride and fixie kids still reject that all they are doing is just another form of BMX. Dan Kelleghan said it best, "get a fucking BMX bike."



Who would have guessed road bikes would be the "new" bmx. I can't wait to bomb drop a 12 stair with 700x23c wheels, cant' wait.

A.M. ride.

It's hard to go out a get a decient ride before work. Especially durring over time when I have to be at work an hour earlier. Just a few shots of my AM ride on Friday. Yes, I know it's not cool to have a bottle cage on your fixie, but fuck you I'm thirsty.

Spring is in full effect around here in the mid-west, and riding on the river trail you get to eat your fair share of bugs. Wither you like it or not. Mmmmm... protein.

Here is a little of what I do at work.

Broken Homes.

Recently a friend of mine posted something on FACEBOOK about marriages not lasting. Granted her point was that people say homosexuals getting married would ruin the institution of marriage, when anyone and everyone could ruin it.

This really bothered me though. Fuck you and your broken homes, I say. Stop making new ones too.

My parents where together for 40 odd years through cancer, bankruptcy, kidney disease, a hart attack, and a quintuple by-pass. The only reason the marriage ended was because of my fathers passing. "Till death due us part"

That speaks volumes about the kind of people my mom and dad were. Hell even all the friends I have, there parents are still together. I think we tend to make friends with whats familiar. Which is sad then.

That means that everyone from a broken home, keeps hanging out with each other, and dating each other. You begin to think this is ok...it's not.

I don't' have any answers, I just want you to know that the easy way is defiantly the best way. Work it out shit heads.

Just a few shoots of the shop. That green bike is going to be the Farmers Market bike...get it, it's green. Old blue went to Lake Geneva Wi and back, epic ride. I'm thinking the next one I do will be from Aurora Il to Chicago and back. Can't wait to ride through Maywood.

It's Funny...

The 1st thing I posted was "The 1st time is the worse". Today I rode with a new group of guys, all kinds of different skill levels. Of course it was some one's 1st time out on a road bike.

Now this fellow was not it bad shape by any means, it just happens to be the 1st time he did more than 10 miles in the gym.

It was the best and the worst for him... with only about 3 miles left you could look back and see him rubbing the cramps out of his legs and a face that we've all had at some point. Pleasure mixed with pain. I could tell he had a blast! Even though the wind was blowing than Thor's hammer on Loki's head.

But the ride took it's toll on his body, knees where shoot and he was starving at the end...the 1st time hurts the most. I guess that's why we always remember our "first time".

1st time is always the worst.

Going to go on a group road ride with a bunch of BMX kids... mmm.

I started this to complain about everything and give adise to anyone who wants it... most for bicycles. My life advice isn't very good. I also plan on creticing things, art, music, movies, hamsters.
