Rex Hunt breaks cyclist's finger. At least, we assume he did, as he doesn't plan to contest the charge. Let's just use the magic word - allegedly - to be safe. Rex Hunt allegedly needs anger management classes, and is charged with being a bit of a douche. Make your own 'Hands of a Champion' jokes. The lesson here is one I've touched on before - getting up in a motorist's face just isn't worth it. Cyclist lawyers agree. Seriously, unless it's a reportable offence, let it go.
Armstrong rides! Yes, as much as the French hate to see Lance on a bike, the UCI have seen fit to waive the remaining 12 days of his notice period and allow the 7 time Tour de France winner to race the less glitzy, more churchy Tour Downunder in SA this January. Lance came second in the Leadville 100 earlier this year, but finished somewhere in the middle of the pack at last month's Cross Vegas cyclocross event. Cyclocross is nothing like a road race, but the lacklustre performance is one of those things... you know the ones I'm talking about.
American cyclists who aren't planning to buy their favourite events and whose Spanish Colonial mansions don't consume 38 times the average water usage figure for Houston needn't worry about the collapse of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, or Peggy Sue. Among the many Christmas Tree amendments used to sweeten the pot for wary politicians is a bit of pork in the form of a tax break for those who commute to work by bike. Now if they can just keep their jobs. I'd hate to be driving an economy right now.
The guys who write the Swobo Blog - How To Avoid The Bummer Life, brightened my day with this little gem;
I feel less confident that my packages will arrive on time, but more confident that I'm not the biggest dork on a bike.
