Hey @SouthwestAir when your employee asked me to list a few items in my bag you lost, I didn’t realize I needed to specify the Bluetooth speaker and medication in order to keep your employees from stealing them. Lesson learned.
It’s January. WTF?!
I've devoted myself to cycling for more than 30 years. Part of what keeps me in the sport is what it teaches me about larger lessons in life. cyclingindependent.com/the-protected-…
Bike geometry is pretty easy to digest once you understand two numbers: bottom bracket drop and trail. I've often been told that trail is too complicated for riders to understand. That's bunk; the math is hard, but the effect is straightforward. cyclingindependent.com/the-angle-what…
Before there were lock-on grips for mountain bikes, we used Aqua Net hairspray to slide the grips on. When there were lots of bikes to assemble, the bike shop smelled like a hair salon. cyclingindependent.com/at-the-bench-a…
Good news: @UnitedAirlines has dropped its bike fee, like @Delta and @AmericanAir but flying with a bike still is rarely charge-free. cyclingindependent.com/united-drops-b…
When I worked for @DICKS we sold bikes from May to September like someone hawking hotdogs at a football game. That was more of a problem than it sounds. cyclingindependent.com/at-the-bench-w…
It was billed as a chance to bring bike shop quality to mass-market consumers. Working for @dickssportingss proved to be quite different. cyclingindependent.com/at-the-bench-w…
In my latest installment of The Angle, we continue our discussion of forks and details to consider if you're going to look at an aftermarket fork, not to mention what a goat parade the aftermarket fork scene was in the 1990s. cyclingindependent.com/the-angle-fork…
There is a longstanding practice among bike mechanics to "stretch" newly installed cables. But you can't stretch steel. So just what is happening? Our man Padraig explains. cyclingindependent.com/at-the-bench-s…
In Part II of my look at forks for The Angle, I dig into one of the more interesting aspects of experiencing different bike geometries: threshold of perception. cyclingindependent.com/the-angle-fork…
At the Bench: cup-and-cone bearings have gone the way of the dodo. Is that a good thing? cyclingindependent.com/at-the-bench-c…
Of all the dimensions in a bike's design, few can rival fork rake for impact on handling. In my latest installment of "The Angle," I look at just how it works. cyclingindependent.com/the-angle-fork…
In my latest "At the Bench" I look at how the bike you want doesn't always line up with the bike the shop has, even when there's not a pandemic on. cyclingindependent.com/at-the-bench-t…
I'll put it this way, Tyler's bike from the Tour de France is sitting in my bro's garage. From the archives and with a tip of the hat to @RedKitePrayer bikehugger.com/posts/pro-raci…
In the At the Bench I examine the minutia and vagaries of bike assembly. Everyone loves minutia and vagaries!! Also, a small tribute to Anthony Bourdain. cyclingindependent.com/at-the-bench-a…
Just posted a photo instagram.com/p/CS7rSzHBahV/…
Sometimes, working on a bike isn't really about working on the bike. cyclingindependent.com/the-zen-of-the…

Truly saddened to hear of the passing of Dean Young, a kind and generous poet. We really don’t have his kind of brilliance to spare. Rest In Peace.
@PoetBrendan The same, deeply saddened. Was a major influence & I'm better for his critiques and insight at the '92 IU Writers Conf @Helena_G_Mesa @RedKitePrayer
Did not expect my first encounter with one of these in North America to be in Memphis!
I have a friend who always texts me after we hang out, sending links to the various podcasts, books, articles, people, and other miscellaneous items we discussed. I've begun referring to them as "show notes."
@RedKitePrayer Yes. Because when they wear out you pop them out and replace, good as new. Whereas cups wear till dead then it’s a whole new hub or more likely wheel for most folks, as the hub + rebuild labour exceeds the value of a wheel.
I'll put it this way, Tyler's bike from the Tour de France is sitting in my bro's garage. From the archives and with a tip of the hat to @RedKitePrayer bikehugger.com/posts/pro-raci…
@bikehugger @RedKitePrayer I've said it before and I'll say it again, I watch it with the same enthusiasm and credulity as I do professional wrestling.
@RedKitePrayer Lovely. The craft and the art that lifts something from a task to creative act.
@Ge_Willi This line kills: "Then Tyler tested positive, his twin vanished and his name appeared in records of Operacion Puerto." Great piece, thanks for sharing. That @RedKitePrayer can put words together.
