The Far Pacific Issue

We at HPT love Australia. Apparently, Australia loves our brand of cycling. There's these dudes, who build all-killer-no-filler bikes of both the pedal and moto variety. Not to be confused with these dudes, who also build bad-as bikes and rock the beats. They even hosted a mock-Roubaix that looks totally worth flying halfway around the world for. Speaking of the world, and that quadrant of it, this nutter rode a recumbent and then A SKATEBOARD around the freakin' planet. We particularly appreciate the section of his blog entitled 'gear that didn't work'. We'll take your word for it mate. In other global travesties, anyone ever wonder if there was a military application for the Segway? Apparently the answer, frighteningly, is yes. Continuing the themes of global domination, these folks think writing a letter to the UCI might help clear things up. Good luck. Lastly, a little glorious bike-lore from our own shores. Go ride something.

Transporting Modality

It's Earth Day. Get somewhere somehow differently. Mario's woes continue with the taxman. Malaria prevention get's a boost, too bad it's for drugs and not preventative measures. Go ride. Or push...

The Good & Bad of HPT

Tyler Hamilton - official posterboy for 'we f**kin' told you so.' Free food and shoes from a skateboard concern in downtown LA. From Poland, with love. Of twenty minute showers and pissin' in a cup. Another reason to stop stinking things up with your converted Mercedes. Cool clock. Surfers blog too. Some of 'em are pretty sweet. Viva.

Punchy

Finally found a pic of the straight-arm treatment dealt out to one of those insipid 'runners' at the ToC. Urban-themed pics from trade show in Asia. Like peanut butter and chocolate, two favorites come together in NYC; tracklocross. Indeed. Get CERTed. Swift Movement. Petition the FCC for more independent media. Viva.

If It's Thursday, This Must Be Chicago

Walt Whitman rolls in his grave. Sexy skateboards. Carlo. Quebec hitman rode bike to relax. Who loves spring classics? Pave does! Strangely, spring always reminds us of fall.
