Well, shit. Here we go again.


"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
— Hunter S. Thompson 

Last summer, I put this pile of bike-related bullshit on indefinite hiatus. I thought it might even be permanent. But in recent weeks I've found myself wanting to tell some stories and share some photos. Hell, I even have some additions to the Fabulous Finger Gallery that got stashed in the dust bin after Bicycles & Icicles went dark.

In short, I sort of miss writing the damned thing. Some people have asked me why I stopped, and a couple have encouraged me to start again. My only reason for quitting was that inspiration had faded, and I felt like the blog was getting stale and boring. With a (hopefully) great season of fat-biking ahead, excitement and inspiration are returning.

So in the next few weeks, after organizing my thoughts and wrapping my mind around doing this again, you can expect to see new posts, and some new flip-offs from faraway places.

Come along for the ride. If we're lucky, the going will get weird.

Welcome back.
Saw a guy at REI last weekend who I thought might be you. Considered about introducing myself and encouraging starting the ol blog back up.
Decided it would be really weird if it weren't you.

Thanks for all the messages, everyone. I didn't think this new post would be noticed for days, so I'm surprised and happy to see your comments.

And I was at REI last weekend, bikewrider, so it was probably me that you saw. Next time, please say hello.

I really enjoyed your blog and was sad to see it become dormant (although as an owner of a dormant blog myself, I could completely understand). Great to hear that the inspiration cycled back into your life!

Will do.

I know it's you when I see you in public and I'm still hesitant to say hello. I'm just grateful to have a forum for my flip-offs.
