BSNYC Lousy Generic Supermarket-Brand English Muffins Totally Lacking In Nooks And/Or Crannies!

Firstly, this blog will be closed on Monday, January 20th in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  Rest assured that I will be using this day to teach my seventeen (17) children the true meaning of this holiday, which is of course big, big savings on locks, access control, safes, surveillance equipment, padlocks, bike locks, binoculars, night vision goggles, survival guides, manuals, depository safes, gun safes, file cabinet locks, fire safes, door hardware, electronic keypads, and more:


Yes, Dr. King had a dream, and it was all about hoarding valuables and armaments for the coming class war.

Anyway, I'll be back on Tuesday, January 21st with regular updates.

In other news, Portland continues to be America's wellspring of important cultural contributions, and their latest ambassador is the "Portland Unipiper" (via BikePortland), who recently made what I assume to be his national television debut:



Presumably he'll be back in town by Monday, where he'll serve as Master of Ceremonies at Portland's MLK theme ride, widely regarded as the most tasteless and offensive Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration in the United States.

And while I may be scared of unicycles, I find it oddly comforting that in 2014 you can still head over to Craigslist and buy a complete fixie starter kit from someone who's moving on to Rollerblades or something similar:


RALEY FIXED GEAR - $350 (Chelsea)

GREY RALEY , EXTRA GREEN TORELLI WHEEL NEEDS TO BE RESTRUNG , MESSENGER CRANK , OLD HOLD FAST STRAPS , STYLO TRUVATIVE HANDLE BARS, THE BIKE IS IN GOOD CONDITION SOME SCRATCHES NO DENTS . BERN HELMET INCLUDED 
CONTACT ME AT 917XXXXXXX

What's a Raley, and how do you re-string a wheel?

Also, he misspelled "helment."

Speaking of things that were relevant six years ago, remember "Murder of Couriers?"  Well it's the "Apocalypse Now" of messenger documentaries in that it's been in production for something like 20 years, but the filmmakers seem to have finally made a trailer that strikes just the right balance of self-importance and stupidity:



Come on, guys.  Stop taking yourselves so seriously.

You live in Canada for chrissakes.

And now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right then good for you, and if you're wrong you'll see how to be a good little cyclist.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and check your wheelstrings.


--Wildcat Rock Machine





1) It took a few months, but Chris Horner seems to have finally found a team that believes he's not doping.

--True
--False




2) Or maybe not.

--True
--False





(Dustin Hoffman would also make a great Bill-Clinton-Awkwardly-Lifting-A-Bicycle.)

3) Dustin Hoffman will play which role in the upcoming Lance Armstrong biopic?

--Eddy Merckx
--Greg LeMond
--Sheryl Crow's overbearing Jewish garmento father
--???





4) Order by Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to get 50% off my new coffee table book, "United States Presidents Awkwardly Lifting Bicycles With One Hand."

--True
--False






(Lost, drunk, and stupid.)

5) If many of the cyclists you encounter seem to have their heads up their asses, it's only because:

--They're drunk
--They're lost
--They're stupid
--They're crafting stupid wedding proposals as part of viral marketing campaigns for Strava






6) Pants schmants.

--True
--False





(When Strava is not paying people to write messages the results tend to be illegible.)

7) What does this Strava message say?

--Will you marry me?
--Will you blow me? (in Arabic)
--Will you divorce me?
--Will you please take me to the ophthalmologist?

I am pretty certain that Lampre doesn't give a shit as to whether or not Chris Horner is on the dope. I am guessing that the way they figure it is something like the following: if he's been at it this long, he must be pretty good at it and he is unlikely to get caught.

I'm nonplussed over the total lack of concern on the part of anyone over the tridork crashing. Even the fellow tridorkians just rolled on by without so much as a shout of encouragement. Even wild animals will come back to sniff the carcass of their dead compatriot if one of the group is run over. Scranus

Anonymous said...

@mikeweb,

Depending on how much work you want to do, and how badly the freehub is worn/grunged up you can try removing it and soaking it in mineral spirits. You have to remove the axle to get to the 10mm hex bolt that holds the freehub body in place. After lots of swishing in the spirits a little light oil and it's either good as new, or destroyed.

And you probably new that anyway.

babble on said...

Oooooooh! Ouch!! No, I expect not. Prolotherapy is designed to simulate the inflammation of injury in such a way as to stimulate the body's healing response, which results in the creation of another layer of that white connective tissue "sheath" that surrounds the ligaments. Makes them tighter, stronger.

As for the Irishman? Probably the best he could do under the circumstances was to distract himself. I hope he encountered a willing lass or two along the way...

It was an anti-inflammatory tea with rue and a few other herbs in it. I can't take ibuprofen cause it makes me see double, and with my connective tissue issues my ribs often subluxate, which makes breathing difficult. I have a medical marijuana prescription, but I was hoping to find something which would provide the same benefits whilst allowing me a clear mind. Turns out pot is waaaaaay better for me than rue, though.

Ok I see. Just wondering. I'm a tea drinker- herbal and traditional. recently started drinking a brew called Rooibos, or red tea from S Africa.

Fair enough. Rooibos is awesome... I love red tea. It is loaded with anti-oxidants.

This concoction came from a friend who dabbles in herbalism, and it's actually a common, time tested remedy, but one in fifty thousand people react to rue and I'm just that kind of weirdo.

This is an internally geared Schlumpf hub specifically designed for mountain unicycles, and is totally fixed when in both 1:1 and 1:1.5.

CC - That's ok. My body doesn't always make sense to me, either. The poison control center said that brachycardia (sp?) is a rare side effect of rue. The cardiologist said that I went into sinus arrest in emergency and they gave me atropine to induce a regular heartbeat again. They figured I was going to need a pacemaker when it happened because my heart rate dropped to 28, but my blood pressure came back toward normal and my heart rate stabilized at about 40 overnight, and they said it was just a reaction to the rue.

And I believe them cause I feel much better now, blessed be.

The seizure is just my body's response to pain. They don't happen often but I've had them my whole life.

I have medical letters after my name, too. Be careful with supplements.
Get better soon, Babble.
Rollie for the overall four day win.

WHAT!?! NO BJ's?! That's just harsh.

Thank you, gentlemen. My heart is perfectly fine. I am 100% recovered now and I will ride on top if I want to!

My elder son is smack dab in the middle of drinking the kool aid in pursuit of his medical letters. We have plenty of discussions on the nature of the body and how it heals. Even though he doesn't share my naturopathic beliefs, he is the one who pointed out to me precisely how oxidation is the cornerstone of ageing and disease. Bless him. And really, it isn't so much the consumption of anti-oxidants, but rather the body's ability to produce the enzymes like telomerase that use the anti-oxidants that counts. Right?

My condition is progressive and degenerative, and I want to see my great grandchildren, so I spend a good deal of time and energy in pursuit of health and wellness. THAT's why I ride. :)

Anonymous @ 3:56; I use a Schlumpf speed-drive on my ride and think it's a marvel of engineering. Did you know that they also make a time machine?

McFly, I usually have Babble from behind because she is a stomach-sleeper.

What a coincidence! I have medical letters after my name, too.

I never went to med school or anything. Ironically, they came for free from the Canadian mail-order pharmacy when I ordered my boner pills. I just had to pay separate shipping and handling.

And dearest BabbleOn, everybody knows that certain herbal teas can cause bradycardia, except for when they cause tachycardia, except for when they do neither, in which case they will turn your urine florescent yellow.

Either way, in my book you are still a winner...but I can't help but observe that if you lived in the US, based on your two recent hospitalizations, you would likely be filing for bankruptcy right about now.

Wiwm, my right hand man at work is having to put up his Kia as collateral because the local hospital is suing him for 6 g's and we HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE but it sucks that bad. His wife had an appendectomy last summer and it was that much out of pocket.

Yeah, you guys have some crazy costs associated with your health care. You pay more than anyone in the industrialized world for not so great outcomes, and it's all cause you don't have one central buyer like civilized nations do.

Shame on you.

Babble,

They are breeding the weed that only has the medicinal properties, with no THC, the shit that gets you high.
I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT.

My dealerbro gave me some tincture in gel capsules. I gave them to my artisanal woodworker peter pan buddy who has 6 softrides (he's a kook). He fucked up his stomach from eating ibuprofen like candy. No insurance. USA SUCKS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, SEATTLE IS IN THE SMOKEABOWL vs. DENVER.

SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY

Present. I think Snob quietly enjoys all the sexy talk in the comments section, otherwise why would he give so much fodder in the form of Tits and Ass pictures?

Babble and Grouch - heal quickly! Spring is only 57 days away!!!

babble on said...

Thanks, doll... I'm healed! Yesterday's ride garnered six more of those little crown thingies so I know my heart is A-OK.

Glad you're feeling better, Babs. Here's to you holding your great grandchildren!

And to the anonymous-coward death-wisher: you are lower than a snake's cloaca.
