Yes, it's been a while. What started as a place to blog about single speed/fixed, and messenger nonsense...well, let's just say, any schmo with a computer and a bike can do it (and they all do), and Bike Snob NYC has pretty much cornered the market on alt.bike.news, to the point where I'm constantly amazed the guy has enough time and energy to bloviate on half the stuff he does. It's like those lifelong academics who can spend an afternoon debating formalism vs. de-constructionism. At some point, you're like, who the fuck cares? Ride already!
Plus I'm happy to hear from my bike shop source that the fixed gear trendsters are slowly moving on. I don't know what's next for the hipster masses, and I'm sure there will be a few left behind, but that's ok. One might say the same about me. I was about ready to hang this blog up for good, but surprisingly I still get a few hits on the fg vs. ss page. So anyway.
This post is not about my blogging needs, but about a teamless amateur who beat a bunch of pros in Argentina's Tour de San Luis. My favorite athletes never get on the Wheaties boxes. This was no ABR race neither, Team Saxo won the final day's sprint, and none other than Ivan Basso finished fifth in the GC. Read all about it at Podium Cafe.
