I’ve been trying to get in touch with the local Kansas City lowrider bicycle club, but I’m damned if I can remember the name of their club. They do some awesome work, and I need to chat with a couple of those dudes and find out more about customizing a banana seat. I either need […]

Well, we made it down there and we made it back, and we had a good damn time while out of town. Joel, Christi, & I left out of KCMO on Friday morning around 8:30 a.m. We made it down to Blanchard Springs in the early afternoon, giving us plenty of time to set up […]

I was riding from my house to Landahl, I got caught in an uneven seam in the road, and subsequently saw the road coming to meet me very, very quickly. I ended up with a small cut on my forehead that bled with great enthusiasm, and road rash on my left cheek, left shoulder, left […]

Beginning at the beginning: Before I was old enough to do my own pedaling, I rode on the back of Mom’s bike. When I was a super-tiny Meetzorp, I had a mini-bigwheel. I also had rad tennies and stripey tube-socks. When I got a bit older, I got a tricycle. I also had a stylish […]

“Seriously, I am not joking. If I had the money, this is the tattoo I would get. On my arm, right here, I’d get a life-sized corndog. With a bite taken out of it. And there would be a GIANT silverfish crawling out of the bite.” – Justin E. “Can you make me a hat…out […]

Bonktoberfest for those not in the know, is the fortuitous combination of mountain-biking, camping, October, and Arkansas. It’s a great big long-weekend of fun in Syllamo State Park, near Blanchard Springs, AR involving riding the absolutely gorgeous trails out there, ingenious feats of campfire and campstove cookery, and shows of homebrewing prowess among the cyclists who […]

Man, I had about the best ride home that I’ve had in ages. It was raining, and the temperature was just about perfect. I was on my singlespeed road bike, and the stars aligned, the elements balanced, and it was jut fucking awesome is all. It was one of those nights when traffic was playing […]

Okay, maybe I need a kick in the head, but I did get another bike. For F-R-E-E-E. And you must admit, Hurcules is awfully pretty. Hercules was a little too small for Brian, so he gave Herk to me. I’m a lucky gal! (That is Brian in the picture, not me) Hercules is a 52cm, […]

As some of you might have gathered, I like to ride bikes…a lot. Having and riding a bike has been a pretty big component of my life for most of my life. And I think this has given me a different relationship with my body than many women have. I started really riding with a […]

Audrey, don’t tell Mom, PLEASE! So, Monday night, I played Friz for a couple of hours, which got a little rowdy, and per expectation, I fell off my bike a few times, but I didn’t personally incur any major injuries. Actually, only one injury of note took place, when Static re-sprained his wrist. I bruised […]
