If you haven’t heard, Twinkies will no longer be around since the parent company Hostess is going bankrupt. When I first heard the news I immediately ran to the store to see if they had any left. Lucky for me I bought 2 boxes of Ding Dongs and Twinkies. I saved one box of Twinkies…
Thanksgiving is next week and that means the official start of the Holiday Shopping Season begins on Black Friday. What better way to prepare for this season than having a quick guide ready for your viewing. We do hope this list helps! 1. The Potty Putter. My dad is an avid Golfer, so this would…

Here’s what they have to say: FRAME: Tapered HT with increased rear wheel mud clearance, increased standover clearance on the 16″ frame-size. Tapered Reba RL fork with…
The other night, myself along with Khoala, Lady P and our friend Jonny, were out on a nice evening ride through the Fullerton Loop. About mile 1.5, Jonny noticed he was having some shifting issues. We stopped and noticed that his derailleur cable had snapped at the pinch bolt. I offered to help by setting…
