If you’re gonna go, go in style. 5) Sorry not Sorry: “So often times it happens, that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key” … “But me, I’m already gone” 4) Honorable Mention: “I know it’s a shame, but I’m giving you back your name.” 3) 3rd […]

Everyone should have access to a slow-motion camera. And everyone should create something as epically awesome as this: !!BLAST!! Forward | Ride | Strava

Most every ride I do starts in the morning. And many of those rides last into the afternoon. This creates a need to be aware of the time so that you can update your greetings for fellow cyclists, knowing when to correctly change from “Good Morning” to “Good Afternoon.” Motivated mostly by laziness, but also […]

“I’d recognize that ass anywhere,” is hardly what anyone is expecting to hear yelled out from behind them.

It doesn’t matter how in-the-right you are and how in-the-wrong the other party is. Take the higher ground and don’t add fuel to the fire. That goes double when you’re on a bike and the other party is in a car. I had an inconsiderate driver cut me off. I chose to get up right […]

Eventually, as we approached each obstacle, we began asking “What Would Danny Do to creatively surmount the obstacle?” Clearly we have a ways to go in our skills development, because I’m pretty sure the answer to that […]
