You know, I love bicycles. They truly do make my world go round, but the down side is that even when I dont want to be, Im still up to my eyeballs in em. Sometimes its nice to take a break, sleep in, go float around a pool, and drink your weight in beer and catch up with some old friends while solving some of the worlds problems and maybe never even mentioning the word 'bicycle'. I make no apologies for missing the event. Besides, if Id gone, I wouldnt have spent the entire day with her

Life has a funny way of presenting you with simple solutions to seemingly not-so-simple problems.

But next weekend I think I wanna do this.

Im sure by now, everyones seen the footage of Burghardt hitting the dog, but Byron sent the Daily Mail article on to us just the same.

Now this is nether here nor there, but who wants a sock monkey?

Speaking of sock monkeys, Yafro sent this on.

"Ever read the book "Please Kill Me?"

Its funny cause seeing the MC5 video reminded me of the part of the book telling about how the MC5 were renting out this Frat house in Ann Arbor and the Stooges moved in because they were hungry. And the fact that I had gone to parties in that fucking Frat house my freshmen year well before I knew it was old MC5 stomping grounds.

And the record store Iggy worked at is now a fucking Starbucks.

You know, like I said, and as much as I dont like it sometimes, life goes on. Remember last year when I mentioned the spot in Downtown Denver where Tom Headbanger used to have underground shows which from time to time would turn into near riots? That houses a property investment agency now.

Ehhh, they probably needed it more anyhow.

And now finally, the cats at Urban Velo are hard at work on issue number three, and are always looking for contributions for their 'I love riding in the city' segment. Get busy and loan em a helping hand.

Now its time I make like a hockey team, and split.
Or is that a banana?
