If you were a participant or a spectator in the Mellow Johnny’s Classic mountain bike race this weekend, we’ve got some photos for you.
The first group is our Flickr steam of some images from the event.
The rider, already caked with mud, dropped down the slope and followed the line into the puddle just as many before her had. A thick plume of brown water shot into the air, coating the tires with another layer of muck. Clearly, the race wasn’t [...]
The Hare Krishna have co-opted so much in the world—shaved heads, chanting in the streets and being a lunatic all had their own meaning, but the HK’s have really taken ownership of all that.

When most people start bicycling, they'll do anything to avoid hills. Sometimes they'll ride miles out of their way to miss a climb, or drive their car to a flat area to ride.
As they get stronger and learn how to use their gears more efficiently, hills are a challenge to be [...]

When did this record come out? May? Jeez Louise, it really takes some time to get around to these things. I meant to pick up Viva Voce’s Rose City when it was released, but I never did; and not until after their excellent show [...]
Rivers Cuomo is either really into infomercials or is a huge fan of Sky-Mall (and who isn’t?!). One product in particular has apparently piqued his interest. He and the rest of the Weezer gang have become the #1 advocate for Snuggies. They like the snugglie blankie so much so, Cuomo [...]
When two girls, aged 11 and 10, on bicycles were struck and killed by a van driver in October 1987, the people of Davie resolved to make the small south Florida city safer for bicyclists.

Uhmemba the Cops? That frenzied, Clash-loving, back-alley punk band? They disbanded at the end of last year. I wept (internally). Not one to sit on his laurels, scrappy guitarist/vocalist Mike Jaworski—who also owns and operates local label Mt. Fuji Records—has created a new [...]

It’s really been a long time since I was a mountain biker. My first “real” bike (after a hand-me-down clunker I used to get into shape in college) was a GT Avalanche. I saved and saved for that bike and the night before I went to buy it my [...]
In this version of “The Odyssey,” Hermes, the messenger god of Greek mythology, gets around not on winged sandals but rather on a Schwinn.

When we last left two-time Race Across America champion Danny Chew and his nephew Steven Perezluha, the pair were rejoicing after traveling 5,115 miles by bike to Alaska.

You squint, Google, cross reference, and determine that slightly-out-of focus bike in the background is a Trek Top Fuel WSD.
You later notice Eliza Dushku’s thong. Eliza’s show, the Dollhouse, was cancelled by Fox last week.

Traveling often shifts your worldview, changes perspectives, and the way you look at things. Back from the Mobile Social Worldwide, I’m just starting to parse all those thoughts into posts. I’ll get to stopping for a Holy Man and riding a Bubble of Curiosity in Delhi later.
