One of the funniest biking/bike racing stories you or I will likely ever hear. Click on the link below to be enlightened

The story was about the man pictured above. Hilarious..... Bob "Bobke" Roll

Bob Roll is known for his hilarious antics, as evident from the above story.

I actually had the pleasure of seeing him race (in his mountain bike racing days) when he came to my hometown NORBA race in Traverse City, MI back in the early nineties. I can still remember the goofy assed Softride bike he rode as much as his HUGE mutton chop sideburns.

Why you should NOT antagonize a biker......especially a commuter packin' a hefty U-Lock!

Mid-West & East Coast Mtn. Biking


My brother, Chris, riding on the North Country Trail about half an hour away from my hometown, Traverse City.  It's a super fun, fast trail.  It has some technical stuff but only due to the speed that you can ride this trail at.  Some parts of the trail going through the trees you're scraping each end of your bars through the close trees.  A view of a rock wall opening called the "squeezer."A view of one of the "stunts" in the terrain park.  Just out of view are the other "stunts" with the teeter totters, ladders, up & overs, etc.  A view on the ride called "Moon Lake" in the Poconos of PA.
