I’m leaning this way with you but wanted to poke some holes. Consider, that taper is machined into the tool, you can clearly see the machining marks. Why?

Hmm, conjecture, well might as well add mine. The knurling at one end is our most substantial clue, followed closely by the machined taper. The knurling is clearly used to break the taper-seat while using the tool, so it goes ‘into’ something. Back in the day we had an very... Read more »

Fixies riders should have a rain exemption where they're allowed to attach a brake and it's ok.

@zeldman dig how eric has a problem a few weeks ago and then posts the solution.

Humbled last night by the party peoples who told me their bike stories, the bike is a connector, appreciate what we do. They rode the moso.

@14Bikes she was embarrassed ... you know no brakes and all in the rain across train tracks and bollards.

The pattern of raining wherever we go continues in Austin and they do NOT know how to ride in the rain. Helped a fixie rider who slipped.

Of all the roads one can take to becoming famous, doing so in an out-of-control Prius seems least rewarding.

Lots of people with badges around their necks.

Don't have the clothes for this party; well, they get some bike culture flava then.

Hello Austin! Byron is here now. Please carry on and he'll join you in a few.

3 huggas in one hotel room and another joining them today. Smells Like Teen Spirit?

Calmly convinced TSA a pedal wrench was no threat. Just for pedals.

Seeing hairs in TSA bins totally gross. More than food even. Related note, a foot fetish perv would enjoy TSA work.
