Weekly Roundup May 7

This week has absolute chaos. Life has been so busy that I’m not even going to start to bore you with the details. It’s been utter chaos, but good chaos, the kind of chaos that makes you money. It’s Tuesday and day two without getting a ride in, I NEED to get one in tomorrow. Oh well, so is life, and with that friends; The Weekly Roundup!

Fat Cyclist: I’m going to kick things off with the Fat Cyclist this week. I’m not however going to draw attention to any one post I’m just going to reiterate my post from last Friday. Fatty’s wife Susan is going through more than anyone should ever have to right now with her cancer. Fatty is kind enough to keep us up to date on how she is doing and has really made, in my opinion, the entire group of regulars feel like a part of the family. Please check out his blog, and please keep Susan, Elden (Fatty), their children and families in your prayers.

Cozy Beehive: Ron takes us on an engineering trip through his mind in Ideas For New Cycling Products: Part 2. Here he shares some of his ideas for new cycling products like Adaptive Stiffness, Shape Changing Helmets, and the Cable-less bicycle. This is a follow up to his Ideas For New Cycling Products: Part 1. These feats of engineer are almost, uh, unbelievable. These are truly funny and interesting.

Bike Munkey: A great post to leave for holiday with Munky! Munkey is on holiday this week, vacation to us yanks, and leaves us with Why The Bike Is Better Than The Car. A Theological Debate. I also find it very appropriate since May 12-16 is bike to work week. Hey, don’t forget that!

Travels With A Tin Donkey: Apologies to Sprocketboy for not throwing out love in a bit. I am still pounding down the muesli and loving it! Sprocketboy made a quick Escape To The Old Dominion. He and his crew took a “few hours drive” from Ottawa down to Virginia. This is a quick chronicle, and might I say SB, nice pictures!

Harp Rider: Finally a quick Congratulations going out to my boy Harp who picked up a New Sponsor. Way to go brother, race hard and keep up the good work!

Well, that’s all she wrote for now. Enjoy the beautiful spring weather, get out there an ride already! WAIT! First read this then ride. As usual, I’m the Phun Cyclist, you stay classy Cleveland.
