There's an interview up on BikeRadar.com with FELT founder (and namesake) Jim Felt. I met Jim at Interbike last year as I was looking for a new bike sponsor. The DA, the bike I now race, was the big attraction to the company, but after spending 7+ months working with the folks at Felt, I … Continue reading This Man Built My Bike
Do What You Love. Love What You Do.
I suppose if I were to really, really like that quote, it would have to be "Do What You Love . Love You What Do." Or, maybe "Do what you love.evol uoy tahw oD" except for making no sense at all. I am, by my own admission and I think my own dubbing, since I'm … Continue reading Do What You Love. Love What You Do.

Real Men of BAMFness: Rickey Gates
Today we have our first mail-in real man of BAMFness. Today's BAMF comes courtesy of Adam Campbell, who I first met back when he was a triathlete. He's now a crazy mountain runner.

The best part of what he write comes, like all good things ought to, at the end. It's a wonderfully succinct message, and I think it's even more … Continue reading What Are You Staring At?
Rogge & "The Magic of the Games"

I hope that the magic of the Games does prevail, but not in a way that allows the issues to be hidden away or ignored. Rather, I hope … Continue reading Rogge & "The Magic of the Games"
Company Policy
This will be sort of a departure from what I normally write on here, but every so often you read something that begs to be passed on. In this case, it is Lewis Lapham's "Notebook" (subscription required to read, sorry) from the July issue of Harper's magazine. The title of this particular Notebook column was … Continue reading Company Policy
Real Men of BAMFness: Mike Curiak
If you ride 29ers laced up to 4" wide Surly Pugsly tires and you take those wheels and stick them on a bike that you ride on the snow covered Iditarod trail on a self-supported solo journey during the middle of winter, you are BAMF.If you go for a ride on your bike, and it … Continue reading Real Men of BAMFness: Mike Curiak
