Those are absolutely hysterical, but the murder one is rich.
You can NOT put a price on that!
I would be remiss not to add:

Sorry to burst the Strava Bubble but looks like some young whippersnappers are about to eat their lunch

Ryan actually used that to map some of the rides in cali.
I've been using this to preview races including battenkill. It's excellent, you can search for rides by keyword and location and create your own, most races (killington, quabbin, catskills etc.) are actually mapped out and profiled by other cyclists already.
Just a bit more expensive than the McLaren Venge. I guess you know your neighborhood is gentrified x10000 when someone parks a $230,000 car on the street next to a faux-dive bar.

It's a Maclaren MP4-12C. Recently featured on an episode of the British TV show, Top Gear. Carbon fiber chassis. Blazing fast. Totally makes sense for Brooklyn...you know with all those open roads.
I want one!

Looks like MacLaren is gonna fulfill my childhood dream of owning my own Bat Mobile.

All I have to do is sell my bike... Oh, and my house, car, wife and children... That might cover it. What? Gas and insurance are extra? Damn, what do you have to do to be Bruce Wayne, rob a bank?
*Be* a bank...
Just thinking...

would be nice to have L&C results and standings regularly posted on our website and/or FB page. Would definitely help drive traffic.
Right! 0-60 in 3 seconds getting to that next light!

Can't wait till the angry teenagers key it.
Good idea. Done on FB
The next compression sock?

How awesome would it be if we could organize something like this in NYC?
Straight rip from Gizmodo; but too awesome not to post.
bikeNYC.org just launched.

Right now, the big draw is Bike Month events.
If you really need to slam that stem and are having trouble finding a top cap that goes low enough...

Rad! I had to have Purdy rig a Cane Creek shorty 40 b/c the sizing is so weird on the CAAD 10 and the topcap that came with it was a fredly 2.5 cm. It doesn't actually go all the way to the edge of the headtube, so this looks better.

Thanks, JP.

serious question:

why dont we have a nickname for JP?

i mean . . . i know his regular name is short and all, but he needs a badass moniker

and not Rapunzel . . . Marc's already covering that one
Posted By: WilliamDCserious question:
and not Rapunzel . . . Marc's already covering that one
FALSE. For JP I thought his nick name is Mugwump, or wump for short.

Now for Marc. I don't believe he has a nickname. But there is a simple formula for these things.

1) Pick attribute about Nicknamee that stands out.
I would pick his long beard and hair from this winter.

2) First thing that comes to mind about said attribute.
So with those two attributes selected first thing that comes to me would be Grizzly Adams. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_"Grizzly"_Adams

3) Shorten first thing that comes to mind into something cool
Here I'm thinking we definitely drop Adams because it makes no sense for Marc. That leaves us with Grizzly. So I shorten that again in to Grizz.

4) Add "the" before final solution of step 3 (Step 4 is a tricky one and isn't a universal rule)
"The Grizz"

5) Run new nickname by nicknamee
Marc you cool with your nickname being "The Griz"?


Now to sit and wait.
RIP MCA!
