So, um, you're slightly late. Then again, apparently, so is my prize—it got mailed to Proteus on a wing and a whim.

But:
There's a lot of talk about "slow coffee, good coffee" these days, but...

Hmmm...preeety sure I can get my prize mailed to bikenurse or greenbelt to deliver at final HH (it takes what, a week? We've got what, a week?), but I've had it on my desk since the Barista...

LAST ORDERS!

It's time to switch to lemonade now that it's summer, so any last coffeestories need to be posted Stat. There's a couplefewfolks still in the running, so Last Chance...

It didn't seem quite fair to borrow a noncontestant's kneehigh celeste-and-pink unicorn socks—even I have standards of competition below which I will not slip—so y'alls are welcome. All socks used in...

They're catching on to my #sockgame here at lahskool. I had to explain this...thing...to a colleague who noticed that I "sure own a lot of socks."

I think I was at 11.5ish each way when I worked at Bikeyspace—and people looked at me like I was Nutz. Think I held the trophy for longest bike commute during most of my tenure. And, truth be told,...

Are donuts better with coffee? Yes, but I pretty much hit my limit (really) earlier at Coffeechamps . . and it was 80-something degrees outside. So just Little Lucy's (Dog-themed!) Mini Donuts, fresh...

Zeke's DC has been doing some good stuff recently—gradually shedding their (not entirely fair, but I know where it comes from) reputation as Burned Beans R Us thanks to some real gems like that one....

Hey, we have four seasons!

December, January, February, Summer

Trying to explain that I would ride in 10º weather usually begins by first explaining "10º" to people who have seen snow once. I'm...

As of now, there are half as many people from the Austin/Round Rock MSA (pop. ~2 million, supposedly a Mecca of bike culture) as there are from College Park, MD (pop. ~30k, "you have to have a car to...

It's very Giacometti-esque: the Walking Man

Sure you don't want to add an extra rule? One that would keep you from having to pay postage and ship those beers to me? Much as I may love me some tasty tasty Bells, it doesn't quite seem sporting...

Yeah, I looked at that list and laughed. Arranged by bump percentage, I'm tenth. Think I'd break it if I were even remotely eligible.

Just so we're very clear about this, you should all be very,...

Anything that gets people actually riding bikes rather than going insane in the Hamster Wheel is good in my book.

I assume that biking doesn't count as rolling on Shabbos—least of all if you're on one of these?

So here I am in South Texas, working on this pro bono project over the break doing immigration law/asylum applications/interview preps in the detention centers.* And, in the interest of keeping some...

Lone Stellar Dendrites?

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!

Cycling is the worst way to lose weight ever. You pretty quickly find all the best ice cream, pastry, sandwich, and beer places, and make excuses to visit them. Lord...

You know what goes well with donuts?

Coffee.

Lots of really lousy black coffee that somehow magically becomes perfect and wonderful when there's a donut.

Just a thought.

Yes, "Coffeecatting." Like an alleycat, but with coffee. Why? Eh, could be that I don't want to swaggerjack Daily Rando anymore. Could be that coffeeshops are often urban, alleycats are urban...

This is going to end very, very badly for the folks at the local pool. Lost Rhino BikenetiCX prize boardshorts + obnoxious knee-high socks + pasty cyclist complexion = "sir, we're going to have to...

If by "Enlightenment" you mean that very particular feeling of "WHY???? WHY AM I STILL HERE???? WHAT'S THE POINT? OMG, I've started counting manholes out of boredom. IHTFP! Get Me Out Of Here!" then...

I think you may not have counted on Team Exile here...

May actually go swimming during the ride. If it's 80something, may as well.

I'm sure you would, but under the Harley Rules (1942), we have to start at Blackfriars, as Marleybone starts in spoon until turn 3, unless Mansion House is put into dihock during that round. Surely...

Oh you fools. You really think the rules have changed?

No no. Rules are the same. Expanded, even.

I'm just not telling you what they are.
