If I were Joerg, I'd be after steel belted tires. I'll settle for
a flat once every couple years. (it actaully took half a block to
go flat, I could hear something hitting the chain stay, but
couldn't figure it out. The 'pssst' gave it away a few seconds
later.)


Tank tracks. If the bicycle manufacturers only understood how to
build bikes, they would spec them with tank tracks. This one little
company got it right.

Lunacycle has great products. You can build a more bold version though,
see at 2:03min:

They forget the MP3 player and the cup holders though.


... I've been
doing that on my own for years -- with a solid rubber front tire. If
you want it done right, you have to do it yourself. It's just like
making beer. Did I mention I make beer? Did I mention mountain
lions? Scared cows? God-fearing country-folk? Hors categorie gnar?


Just brewed up another Pliny clone and for the first time a Belgian
Quadrupel. Got to watch that Belgian though, the fermentation is going
almost "nucular". It should clock in above 9% but will need 12 weeks
until done.


I doubt you can get the same hops or the proprietary yeast -- to the extent that matters.

You should skip the Clorox fest and go watch the Tour of California. Stages 5-7 are in your neighborhood. The Friday stage starts in Folsom. You should go and touch Peter Sagan. "Nyes, the legs, if they work, maybe it good, but you know?" I want to learn to interview like Peter! Some of the best Europros who decided to skip the Giro are there You can go talk German to the Germans. Shoot the sh** with Marcel Kittel. Ask him for hair care tips.
