The most cycle-y thing I've done since the spring is walk into the Rapha store and not buy anything.

Hi all, it's been a while, but I'm back.  I hope I made it in time for Eloy and Jules to start hyping cross season!
There has been some "I miss Yang" chatter at the races. Glad to hear your back. 
CAT 6 racing or "hipster racing" refers to commuter cyclists who race one another during their commutes to work. As opposed to CAT 5 roadbike racing, CAT 6 racing starts when a stranger riding a bike tries to pass another cyclist and the other cyclist speeds up rather than let them pass. This creates an impromptu "hipster race."

Nice to know I've been missed!  Had this stupid project that lasted for the last 3 months and all I wanted to do after work was curl up into a ball and drink.

Hopefully I can get my fat ass in gear and get some rides in with the squad.
why don't you scour ebay for a 30 year old steel Schwinn mountain bike and come ride with me in Cunningham?

What in the hell happened to Yakkity Sax while I've been gone?  Have I entered some dystopian alternate reality?
Whole heartedly embracing lawn guylands "suns out guns out" culture and has
commenced mtb ing to share said guns with friendly forrest creatures.

my advice is to use one of the many facebook groups dedicated to this. ebay is better in helping deal w payments.

craigslist is fine too, specially if you want a local buyer, and not have to pack and ship the bike. 

Just use common sense.
I am also happy to post your bike to my old triathlon team. every bike I've ever wanted to sell, I've successfully done through my old group. my old mountain bike, 2 hybrids, my TT bike, and a single speed fuji.
thanks Greg, very kind offer. i will PM you some details so you can let me know if you think there will be interest.

Will,
    There are certainly scams going on.  That written, they're mostly pretty easy to smell.  First one is when people promise you anything other than cash.  The second is when they want you to ship it.  You want to meet in a public place.  
This is literally the best pony of all time. Best. Pony. Of all time. Goddamn it, I love this pony! Look at its mane! It's wonderful!

This city needs more cowboys.

KCC recruitment rides be like
Am I the only one who thinks that Governors Island should host a crit? Its a 2 mile loop, so a bit long, but the pavement is in decent shape, the wind could create some drama, not to mention the race photos would be excellent with those views.
