Great film about Tom Ritchey!

My first MTB was 100% influenced by my co-workers at Rodriguez Bikes.
- Breezer
- unicrown fork
- SunTour Superbe pedals
- narrow bars w/barends
- Phil Wood BB
- Ritchey post
- Hite-Rite

Ritchey had THE tires like the red 26x1.9" WCS.

@caseynewton.bsky.social OMG. I just listened to your Hard Fork pod about #ClaudeCode and I love your personal website! I am in exactly the same boat (in terms of coding knowledge) and am going to try the same thing immediately. Thank you!

Such a cool bike!

I never rode BMX as a kid so the appeal is extra strong. Way to go Cinelli.

I just discovered #SimonFordman.

www.youtube.com/@SimonFordman

His videos are not short, but they're like ASMR to me. The shots and angles he uses are truly incredible (how long does he work on a car?!).

There doesn't seem to be anything he isn't afraid to cut, heat, or modify.

Howdy. I like fixing stuff and making videos. I hope you enjoy. Instagram: SimonFordman

I'm not saying #JonnyMoseley didn't go to any fancy gyms but damn. This (and a 360 mute-grab) was obviously good enough for gold in Nagano.

Could Shanti be one of the best driving instructors ever? Quite possibly. She's one of the funniest for sure. Could this ever happen in Seattle? Hell no. Some parents would complain about the language or about the second-hand smoke, and she'd be fired.

Shelley has stood by me, sat behind me on a tandem, traveled with me, cooked for me, pretended to like all the things I love, stayed up all night for me, tolerated me, flown to meet me, and loved me as my wife for 18 years as of today. Did I mention that she originally asked me out? #winning

Welcome to (like we needed it), more proof that the White House is run by 13-year-old boys. Except they're old enough to remember what #Myspace looked like.

Nothing surprises me anymore. :(

What an amazing race! The #EliminationRace has always been one of my favorite track events and #EliaViviani is one of the most exciting riders. Such a great way to retire.

Interesting things you find when working on an old bike. 43/53 chainrings and 171mm cranks.

Shelley and I saw #Weapons tonight, what a great movie! #ZachCregger does an amazing job of playing the same scene over and over again telling you a little more each time. Each retelling is more tense cuz sorta know what's coming but each time he surprises you with another more horrifying twist.

Wow, the 2025 #SeattleMarathon route includes some serious hills and some narrow paths. And I love it! Looks like we run right past #SevenHillsRunningShop too. :)

What a freaking race (on a tough circuit)! And what a break for the win. You can count on Belgium to put together a proper course for their national championship road race.
