#11 – The Ice in Our Brakes




Spokes and Words show

Summary: ...in which Mike fails to go to the International Winter Cycling Congress, and Randy gets heckled for his bad taste in duct tape-covered pants. More on winter storms and deep snow. For some reason, Mike starts talking about Little House on the Prairie. We both want fat bikes. We mentioned a documentary on the Iditasport Impossible race called A Thin White Line. High-quality bikes for kids: Islabikes! Maybe even fatbikes that fit kids, from the extra-small 9:Zero:7 or the Baby Fatty. More on balance bikes, training wheels, and growing kids. Freezing cables and ice chunks that want to disable our brakes.
