“…lest ye be Twittered?” Doesn’t sound so bad. Certainly how I got a good deal of my traffic on the not shitty blog.

To paraphrase an age-old observation, Campy is incredibly reliable. Their gruppos will shift poorly forever.

The lower bar is less strong structurally. Its original purpose was to allow someone wearing a skirt to step over the bike more easily.

Helpful commentator. I was really hoping this wasn’t the goddamn reason, though it did cross my mind. Now accepting explanations as to why bikes are still being built for skirts. (via datingeveryone)
Not just skirts—long skirts. Any compact-ish geometry bike (read: all mountain/commuter bikes and most road bikes made since the mid 90s) is sufficiently easy to mount/ride in a modern skirt (or so I’m told).
However, the “girl’s bike” or “mixte” or any number of other lowered-top-tube designs have gained favor in the recreational/commuter market in recent years as many stiff, inflexible, fat, sedentary Americans attempt to
- get their leg over the bike, and
- balance on their feet while stopped
for the first time since childhood.

Perhaps My Most Esoteric Joke Ever?
Right. So, this is deep into Dennis Miller territory. To get this joke, you’d have to fairly deep background knowledge in both professional cycling and Christianity.
- The TdF started in 1903. So 90’s isn’t really old enough for the Old Testament.
- The Tours of the 90s are now known as some of the most doped up in history.
- The Apocrypha is a section of scripture of questionable divinity and authenticity.
- The Apocrypha is generally attached at the end of Bibles, making it some of the more recent material if you read the Bible as a history.
That said, I’m pretty confident that at least one reader in particular will get it. And probably comment on it.
It took me 90 minutes to get home today. Normally it takes 30.

I love it when I do a good Twitter on an account people actually follow.
Speaking of cyclocross…
My first real Wave!
Beardsley the Elder was responsible for the decapitation; I just spread ketchup on the neck wound to feign blood. Moonbeam had it coming, anyway.
Also, they ran a picture in The D of a strapping young man streaking with ’07s Ayesha Appa and Kathryn Funderburk looking quite
intriguedterrified in the background. Cosmo? Confirm?
I don’t think it was me. I generally riffed off the streaking motif (naked cyclocross runs through Baker/Berry, Ledyard Challenge, etc) but I suppose it’s possible.

I am bike racing here tomorrow. And psyched about it.
