I’m A Dead Head

Well, not really.  I didn’t drop everything I was doing in the 70s to follow them around on tour.  I did date a girl who did that very thing.  Close enough and I do enjoy their music.

I’ve had this song in my head all day.

Well, I ain’t always right but I’ve never been wrong.
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song.
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

We interrupt this bike blog…

…for musical brilliance.  Sit back and enjoy.  This is not a Top 40 track.

Tales of the ideal cyclist

One of my favorite bike blogs is Tales From The Sharrows.  The author recently published an article in Greater Greater Washington, titled The Ideal Cyclist. 

The Ideal Cyclist always wears a helmet. He wears it when he’s riding, when he’s thinking about riding, and up to 10 minutes after he has finished riding. He wears a safety vest and safety goggles. He cuts things with safety scissors. He rarely cuts things, as it might prove unsafe.

Giggle.

The Only Thing That Keeps Me Sane
