BikeSnob NYC has it right

You might agree/disagree with him but he makes you think about things.

Today over at BikeSnob NYC is his breakdown of cyclocross and that horrible VeloNews article about what to bring to your local cyclocross race.  When did Velonews become the People magazine for cyclists?

Here is the link the BSNYC article:  http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2010/10/spending-power-whos-1.html

If you dont read the Snob, you should.  Dude is damn funny and finds the best posts via CraigsList each and everytime.

Happy reading!!

  1. Horrible? Nonsense. It's a fine ad for many semi-bike-related products. what more would Velo-Snooze have to talk about?

  2. I just know when I show up to race, I have my
    backpack full of clothes, a bucket worth of lubes,
    brushes and tubes and a spare pair of wheels

    We used to carry all that stuff when we went to
    mountain bike races

    VeloNews sucks

  3. Hey now...remember that VeloNews is located in Boulder and we all know they're soft. But bringing along your own coffee press and NOT bringing along Juan Valdez? Bringing along a stove and NOT your favorite gourmet chef? I think the Boulder-ites are getting tougher.

    All you bring to a 'cross race is beer. You can then trade the beer for food, entry fees, bikes, pleasurable company, and other types of beer.
