If I had to be in a place where it rains as much as it does here, I’d like to be in the woods. fuckyeahmountainbiking: Riding The Shore + Flying Lotus music

2012 Mountain Bike Ambitions
There are trails to be traveled and places to see on a bike in 2012 and there’s a lot of things that I want to do. I’m going to be 40 this year, and one thing I’d like to do is do a race of some sort. This means I might just join a club. I was thinking of getting in touch with my old club OC Cycliste Cessonais, but it’s been so long I don’t know anyone there. They...

Folding bike startup company in Rennes →
So a new startup company in Rennes, Isocycle, claims to have an 8 second fold on their bike. My curiosity is piqued! One of my constant day dreams is to start a bike company here, even though I wouldn’t know the first thing about how to do that. I’ve got to contact them and see what they’re up to. All I know is that I’ve got a bike that can fold in less than five seconds....

Eight Kilometers of Bike Paths →
Whoo hoo! Rennes is getting 8 kilometers of new bike paths in 2012! …Wait, is that it? There are 415 km of needed bike paths identified in the Metropole’s Schema Directeur. At this rate, it will take more than 50 years to complete the bike path projects. Do they really want to install bike paths, or just congratulate themselves for a few kilometers of stripes?

29 ways  →
So one of my favorite bike blogs, The Lazy Randonneur, put up a post comparing hard tail single speed (or internal gear compatible) twentyniners. This is a coincidence of sorts since I’ve been wanting to improve or replace my Kona Unit 29er. I’ve gone so far as to make an excel file of the geometries of all the current steel single speed 29ers that I could find, and was going to put a...

I’m being followed by “fuckyeahmountainbiking” now. It seems that when you’re followed by “fuckyeah<whatever>” you’ve made a name for yourself in your little part of the blogosphere. I’m hoping to be soon followed by “fuckyeahbikingtowork” and “fuckyeahtheboringlife”. In any case, it’s better than being followed by...

Last Rando of the year... →
The last mountain bike randonnée of the year for me will probably be this sunday at Saint-Thurial. Ideally situated near the Broceliande Forest, the single tracks should give us the spectacle of the last leaves of fall. So who’s coming with me? …or should I say, “ALORS, QUI VIENT AVEC MOI?!!!!” …old guys apparently.
