One-inch-punch anyone?

I went to NAHBS, looking to find out if bike ogling is worth a long drive.

Why does a guy named Bruce Lee need a dagger, while delivering Chinese food?

Couldn't he just get it done with nunchucks, like the original?

Phil Liggett mistakes Caleb Ewan for Eric Zabel in TOC sprint finish? Or is it really Ewan Cabel and Zaleb Eric?

They have some cool stickers right now.

I need to find a projector to hook up to my MacBook for an event on Tuesday.  

Anyone have one I could borrow?  Or know a way to rent one?

at the race Sat morning.

Jp
what time is the event? If it was after office hours I may be able to help

FYI both B&H and Adorama rent a lot of tech.

Didn't know.  Thanks.

Is anyone else getting these really odd several year old kudos from Strava?

Prospect Hill is bummed and misses you. Obvs.

I got them a little while back.  Like a month or more.

Le Poem d'un Tour de Categorie Six

I rode my bike yesterday
in Manhattan instead
of taking the subway for meetings,
wearing a Kissena Cycling Club cap
without a helmet
on a Brompton folding bike last serviced by Redbeard Bicycles
our club's lovely shop sponsor.
Random strangers
gave me unsolicited compliments
about the bike
at every 4th red light that I dutifully stopped at
between 59th Street and E Houston.
On the way
home I cat sixed an unsuspecting commuter on Northern Boulevard in Flushing
overtaking him at the Taco Bell
I used to eat at
as a teenager
in the '90s
which was
a long
time
ago.

Best post of the season so far.

Really we should have a plaque.

I found a badge that is perfect, and awarded it.

@David Yang 

Fishing a bit here but we're going to be in NYC this October 16-20th and if anyone has place they're looking to airbnb (or know of a good one) pm me.

Team Van!

Who is in?!?

Current bid is $6500, guessing it'll sell for about twice that.

Damn it Eloy - you reintroduced me to BAT with your last post and now your just twisting the knife.

That's a beaut.

Ended up going for $37,000. Damn.

As I was finishing up today, a guy rolled up alongside me at the light on St. Nicholas and 145th.  He was on an e-fatbike.  He was talking about how heavy it was.

We both rolled off the light at the same time.  As it was downhill, I was chilling at about 23mph.  He passed me going at least 25.  I guess he has the kind that can do 45kph.

Sad cycling connection.  Steve Penny, former interim head of USA Gymnastics, used to be the head of USA Cycling.
