Adonis-type body on hold temporarily

The unique excitement of the TDH is on hold (as is my soon-to-be Mr. Adonis body), while I sort out my back muscle issues. Sorry to all those who were holding their breath for the next exciting addition to the ride blog.

Added little TDH extra loop

Added the Belle Isle Loop as an option to the TDH. Will insert some photos soon.

Father’s Day Fun

Had a nice spin along the TDH for Father’s Day. Even though I went through downtown around 11:00 am, people were already gathering for today’s Tigers v Dodgers game.

I’m guessing Hillary won’t be showing up for a Tour of the Hood

Well, since the towel she’s throwing in seems certain (she could always freak out at the convention), she can now turn her attention away from national issues like our crumbling infrastructure. (I’m going to post a series of exciting photos of crumbling curbs and street lamps soon).  So I can pretty much be sure she [...]

Dear Senator McCain…

Pretty pathetic speech last night, grandad. You are an honorable, distinguished American. But instead of attacking Barack for not going to Iraq, why don’t you join me on a bicycle ride in Detroit? This is our country, Senator, you need to be a part of it. We need progress here, too. (A couple of [...]

Fixed Gear-ness

I’ve been riding a fixed gear bike this season. It’s so flat here, the only reason you need gears is to deal with the wind. This is my Bianchi Pista, with some mods. 1) Nitto Stem and Moustache handlebars. 2) Switched out the black seatpost for a shiny aluminum one. 3) Sugino RD cranks. [...]
