Not Real, But Fun

I'm not versed in doctoring videos. I saw this on youtube and had to read a bunch of the comments to be sure the video below was a fake. Apparently it originally "aired" as a web commercial for Specialized, or so the all-knowing intelligentsia among youtube commenters say.

Fake or not, please note that no matter how hardcore a bike commuter you are or how late for that meeting you become, freeway riding and fleeing the police is not usually your best solution.

Thanks for stopping in. With any luck I'll have a chance to write something again soon.

I Almost Reviewed Cycling Shoes

Yesterday I spent quite a while typing up a description of how I had been looking for and found some winter cycling shoes. I typed out what I wore previously, the whole thought process and reasons for the purchase. I pasted in a picture of the shoes I bought and commented on what I did and didn't like about them.

When I read my work over, it was so boring I was ashamed of myself for thinking of posting it.

I never intended to review anything on this blog, and I don't know why I thought it worth doing yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to compare notes on what's working with other bike commuters; but why I thought even for an instant that a treatise on my shoes would be interesting is beyond me.

Please do me a favour - if you ever catch me doing something like that on this blog, refer me to this post and set me straight. Sheesh!
