No, it's not a Japanese monster movie from the 1950s, but just my impression of two tires I've had the opportunity to use recently.
The Panaracer Pasela is a tire much loved among my crowd (the iBOBs), but, after riding on them for the last 14,000 miles, I'm not sure why. It's durable and highly flat-resistant (I u ...

There's always something new to stoke one's cynicism, it seems....

Feeling a little under the weather today (though the non-metaphorical weather was, and remains, beautiful: crystalline skies, warm breezes).

This morning, I took the bus downtown for garment business--not because it was raining (it wasn't), but because I'd be walking from shop to shop for a good while, and didn't fancy leaving my bike locked up outside for a couple of hours in a neighborhood where bikees are cur ...

Today I suffered a grave disappointment, and I can blame it all on my U-lock.
I'd taken off early to ride one of my favorite Sunday loops. The sky was gray and cool, traffic was light, and I rode down LA's primary main drag, Wilshire Boulevard, west through Beverly Hills, past the country club to Westwood, and then ...
