MY FIRST BIKE
WAS : A blue
Schwinn road bike, circa 1982. I can’t
remember the model…but it was glorious.
RIDING OFFERS ME: A
way to clear my head, after a long day of mindless
chatter.
It’s funny, I realized it most last summer.
I was on my fixie commuting home from work,
rolling by tons of little summer dresses and
trendy outfits getting ready to hit the town
for the night. I was heading home to get laced
up in lycra.
I’m zipping by all the hot night spots
on my bike while 99% of people are getting ready
to forget the rest of the night. It feels good
to have that burn in your legs and just want
more. Differences – and I wouldn't give
it up for the world.
I WISH I NEVER SOLD
MY : Tony Hawk
/ Powell Peralta skateboard…it even ran
the old Slime Ball Speed wheels!
THE CYCLING WORLD NEEDS
MORE: Drama…I’m
talking more politics, more doping scandals,
you know, all the stuff that makes a sport truly
“interesting”. Step it up guys,
I mean come on!
I AM INSPIRED BY: People
who don’t quit…plain and simple.
ONE DAY, WHEN I WAS
RIDING : With
a friend, a guy came shooting up between us
screaming “UP THE MIDDLE!!!”…it
was so random.
IN THE OFF-SEASON,
I DO A LOT OF: Whatever
the wife tells me to do. Everything that gets
put-off during the season gets scheduled for
the off-season. We all know that’s the
way it goes.
I AM CURRENTLY LUSTING:
A Swobo Sanchez….clean
and tight.
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY:
Long rides require
chamois cream…don’t play around,
this is serious.
SPECIAL TALENTS: Mad
skills with any brass instrument. You name it,
I’ll play it…and well!
