This needs more stars. 

Welcome back! Very glad to see this, and to see that you are ready to get back to doing rad things on the intertubes. 

This is the correct take. Werder’s implied racism is bad and dumb, and it ignores the generational socioeconomic imbalances that cannot do much even if people have “more and better parenting”. If you grow up in a shitty environment with the best parents you very well might turn out to be a shithead! Parents can only…

How are they going to compete in the already crowded adventure segment? HD has sold bikes on the strength of their brand for a generation, which won’t take them very far in the adv market where every alternative is probably either cheaper or better (or both). Who is their competition? At the high end BMW and KTM will…

Good point, and it is an important distinction. Credit Cavendish for pushing through.

Gaviria, Greipel, Groenewegen and Cavendish all abandoned the race and went home early. Craddock made the time cutoffs with a fractured shoulder blade and finished in Paris. Legit hard man stuff. 

Came for this, was not disappointed.

This is good. I laughed at the idea that you ‘deprived your daughter of her grandfather’. Deprived her of what, exactly? As you explain, you deprived her of a relationship with a selfish asshole, which is good parenting. What are you supposed to do? Ignore and enable the selfish, destructive, aberrant behavior from…

‘Corny’ is exactly what it is. It’s corny as hell. But so is Drake, and he sells a lot of records, so what do I know? 

I agree - this is not about the drugs. This is about being a truly terrible human being. He was a bully and an asshole, and he deserves to be a pariah. The drugs are not the issue in the cycling community, it’s that he was, and is, an awful person.

Armstrong is one of the best riders ever to participate in the Tour de France. He got railroaded by the UCI, and then again by the Feds. It is absurd that people avoid talking about him when they talk about great Tour riders (GCN does this often). They bring up Anquetil, or Merckx, or Indurain, or Hinault. Armstrong…

So dumb. Hyphy sucked and E-40 is bad.

Marvin the Martian is is better than your list.

It’s more than a little disturbing that a twenty-something year old man who has already been credibly accused of rape needs to ‘learn’ that you shouldn’t grope a woman and then lie about it and then agree with your friend that he should also lie about it.

I read this as “The good news is that Satan’s now qualified for...”

Mervyn’s would like a word. 

Oh we’re doing the hot old-school jams? Yes. Yes we are.

How good has Roglic been!? So good!

What blog topic/content gets the most unexpectedly insane emails?

The ocean, easily.
