yet. Yeah, I realize I haven’t posted in a month, maybe longer, I get it. It’s just that I hurt my fucking knee and haven’t been able to ride a bike or indoor trainer without considerable pain for awhile now, so I’m mostly just ignoring biking and pretending it doesn’t exist. Fox and the grapes type shit. Will return to my usual babble once I’m riding again.

This looks like it’d be the best $15 you’d spend on riding all year.
Click here to see the official release. Pretty sure the busket is going to be camped out in Whistler for a week this summer! Upfront disclosure: These are 2011 models. As they changed considerably from 2010 (longer cut, velcro cargo pocket closures in lieu of the magnetic ones on the 2010 shorts) the 2012 model may be substantially different than the below. Company: Fox Racing (or is it Fox Head now? Not sure which they go by these days, when my old roommate worked there it was Fox Racing) is ubiquitous among flat billing motorcrossers and their style biters, Fox Racing () has been around since 1974. Initially focused exclusively on motocross parts anc clothing they’ve since branched out into MTB, BMX, surf and other action sports. If you want their full story click here, otherwise let’s move on with the understanding that these AREN’T the same guys that make your fork and RP23. First impressions: My first impression when buying a pair of Sergeant shorts was ‘these feel like they’ll be a ball sauna, but I’ll try ‘em anyways’. They have a heavy hand to them that would keep your everyday XC whippet from picking them on the rack. However, if you’re looking for a short to do everything else these have some nice details.
As mentioned above have used a 2010 version of these shorts for over a year, and these will likely have the same positives (durable, comfortable) and negatives (garbage chamois, heavy when wet, fade quickly), but rather than assuming I’ll give ‘em a go and report back in time.  Full frontal  I think this colorway is called 'brain'  Mesh lined pocket, removable sunglass wipe  2011 shorts use velcro instead of magnets, which I could never figure out how they worked

And watch the vids/read the backstory. So fuggin rad and I’m NOT a roadie. And yes, this post sucks and is useless without video. Well here’s an unusual combination, Portland and bikes. Elly Blue is one half the Batman/Robin duo that put together this seen and has been known to espouse about the benefits of two wheels every now and then, so support what they are doing and pick up a few of these to comp to friends when they come to town. Don’t forget to check out their site and see all their PDX/bike related offerings because hey, it’s Friday, and you were looking for more ways to kill time at work anyways.
Word. Get your long weekend on y’all. FedEx Claus showed up earlier today to drop off my new wheels. Mavic Ksyrium Equipes. I think they are the 2008 model, not the latest and greatest. Yeah, they aren’t much relative to what some of you uberroadies are buying and using, but for someone who doesn’t race, doesn’t wear horrible team kit, doesn’t have a watercooler to brag about my latest purchase around, and doesn’t buy into all the bike industry marketing bullshit they’ll get the job done. Seriously these wheels cost about as much as the most expensive bike I own ($225 for wheels vs. $300 for bike). Oh when bikes weren’t the new golf!
Right now these are the same photos from ebay, but as they only have a 12 photo limit wanted to post here in case people ask for additional views.
