mission STATEMENT

i am addicted to riding bicycles. I am starting this blog to document my cycling experience. i want everyone in the world to know the pleasure two wheels can bring.

something that i think took me from an ENTHUSIAST to an addict was group rides. The people, the energy, and the fellowship that grew was better than any drug. I am going to document group rides i participate in.

when i am out on a ride near a cool shop i usually stop in and say hello. when possible I like say hi to the owners. bike shop owners are rad, the quirkier the better. I love seeing what they have in stock and how they display it. I feel like every shop SPECIALIZES in something and i will share a little info about em' here too.

Riding a ton puts alot of strain on the gear I use. I am going to write product review for the stuff I use because If i am USING it than its either the best or good enough for my needs. I break alot of the stuff I use. I have had a few frames warrantied for cracking (one track bike cracked in the chainstay after I descended Mount Helix Brakeless) I have had lights, SPEAKERS, and GPS cOMPUTERS warrantied because the innards vibrate apart on my track bikes stiff cockpit. Last year I got a new Carbon ROad bike with 11 speed 105... poor thing needed a new bb and rear wheel (killed the hub) after 2000 miles and a serious headset adjustment. basically i am hard on the stuff i use so if you ride hard or ride alot than you might like what I have to say. 

APRIL IS AROUND THE CORNER AND THAT MARKS THE START OF TRACK SEASON ON THE VELODROME. EACH WEEK I WANT TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE THERE. RACE RECAPS, RACER INTERVIEWS, LOTS OF BIKE PORN. TNR AT THE SAN DIEGO VELODROME IS ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL.

Being in the bike industry lets me see some cutting edge EQUIPMENT that i will share with you as well. I call it bike porn, you know it, all those crazy parts we cant afford but want to see... When I get a chance to see something that gets me goin I will surely share it here.

MY WORDS ARE MY OPINION, I AM SORRY IF I OFFEND YOU. this is an experiment and a constant work in progress. please if you have any suggestions or comments leave them below.
