Amazing classic Giro d' Itailia

 


     saw this on www.bikerumor.com this morning.  is an amazing informative video, my personal favorite is the part where half the peleton stops to a market and no one seems to care.  but of course, little can top his on the bike grace, Eddy Merckx at his finest.

sometimes we get bored in the shop, and things get a little bit weird. on this day things were gearing up well, Brendan thought we could use some entertainment in song form, the following is a great memory and if we hadnt been doing work on his bike i am sure he would have soon been showered with quarters or something.

rain rain go aw-something or other

  so it has been a while since my last post, been busy as well as lazy but have thought of all kinds of stuff for posting.  but here i am on a horribly rainy day and having lost my voice a couple days back, i have found my self writing much more as it is the only way i am able to communicate.  been using the wordpad on the computer to speak to folks, is interesting and says things like:

  so lots of rain makes it hard to wanna get out there and ride, waiting with bike in hand for that next moment of clear skies, or even that moment with no water falling out of it, waiting for spring to spring. as we sit waiting and getting fatter, tho Jason swears he is losing weight while having dreams about food and eating. 

  will defiantly be posting much more in the coming months.  product review, book reviews, and general goings on are in the works.  till then, ride safe and ride happy!!

There is some strange stuff out there

   was trying to come up with something worthy to write about for a few days.  then we got a post card from Proskin Performance, there was no information on the card about what their performance band actually does.  so after a quick trip over to http://www.proskinperformance.com we are still sitting here scratching our heads a bit.  this video is sure to give a laugh and maybe even peak some interest, watch for yourself:

  i think we may just have to watch it again, although im not so sure that is going to help in any way.  but seriously! who came up with the money to market this product?? the church of scientology?  and with Testimonials like "Its the best" and "My dog has severe arthritis and thanks to the Proskin holograms she is playing like a puppy again!!! Thank you!" how could it not be the real deal?  Check it out for yourself.
