Bike-urious T-Shirts – Now in More Sizes!
When I initially announced that I had some extra t-shirts for sale, I had a few readers who were hoping to get shirts in different sizes. Now I’ve got 2XL and 3XL in Men’s, and I’ve added some Women’s shirts, too!
Introducing: The Beater Olympics

Loyal readers – I’m going to be in Costa Rica for the 2nd half of June. I share this for two reasons.
