Thanks? There are some presentations where you can learn a lot or get an idea of how the talk went by just looking at the slides. This is not one of them.

This is an excellent point and holds true with many other hobbies too such as home audio. Diminishing returns.

A traveler asked me what bombs I was carrying. Replied with a blank stare. Say something stupid in a TSA line, you're on your own.

Why doesn't Twitter announce a really useful new feature like 150 characters. A widget? Whatever.

Even with earbuds deeply set, I could hear Eye of the Tiger playing from 2D's iPhone.

@lksugarman they choose the sweet and sour sauce.

Smell of McDonalds on a small commuter plane is nauseating and appetizing at the same time. Now we're into the nuggets and sauce: salt + fat

Fixies riders should have a rain exemption where they're allowed to attach a brake and it's ok.

@zeldman dig how eric has a problem a few weeks ago and then posts the solution.

Humbled last night by the party peoples who told me their bike stories, the bike is a connector, appreciate what we do. They rode the moso.

@14Bikes she was embarrassed ... you know no brakes and all in the rain across train tracks and bollards.

The pattern of raining wherever we go continues in Austin and they do NOT know how to ride in the rain. Helped a fixie rider who slipped.

Of all the roads one can take to becoming famous, doing so in an out-of-control Prius seems least rewarding.

Lots of people with badges around their necks.

Don't have the clothes for this party; well, they get some bike culture flava then.

Hello Austin! Byron is here now. Please carry on and he'll join you in a few.

3 huggas in one hotel room and another joining them today. Smells Like Teen Spirit?

Calmly convinced TSA a pedal wrench was no threat. Just for pedals.

Seeing hairs in TSA bins totally gross. More than food even. Related note, a foot fetish perv would enjoy TSA work.
