Memoirs and Musings as interviewed by Monsieur Ciseaux Recently I had the privilege to spend a few minutes with one of MTNBikeRiders newest team racers, Mark Tomas otherwise known as “The Polish Hammer”. Before our interview I wasn’t to sure what to make of a guy known as “The Hammer”. Would he eventually get tired…

While these other pansies are riding mountain bikes with their matching spandex and color coordinated...so called KITS...I'm bangin' their wives at home and she just served me breakfast in bed and I washed it down with a cold beer. Enjoy your ride suckas, cuz I know I did!
Power = capability of doing or accomplishing something. When I think of Power, I think of the “Train”, “The Polish Hammer” or “Animal” – these dudes have Power. Pak = Pakistan. When I think of Pakistan I think of a federal parliamentary republic consisting of four provinces and four federal territories including a federal capital…
Sometimes we here at Mtnbikeriders are graced with a Plethora, an agglomeration of unique, inimitable, conspicuous and useful products. Now these products are not necessarily the cardinal of compulsory items but certainly make the fundamental proverbial mountain bike experience aggrandized, but I digress.

My first initial review of this bag was published June 18th and since then I have been able to do a few rides with it. For reference you can read my first impressions Here. The bags features are extensive and very well thought out. Lezyne has a knack for taking a mundane routine item and…

Have you ever got a stick in your spoke or derailleur or maybe your handlebar? Father’s day presented an opportunity for 5 of us Dads to get out for an uncontested ride. Mark, member of the Mtnbikeriders racing team, came out to push the group a little harder and show off his amazing riding skills.…
I’ve always been an admirer of Lezyne (rhymes with “design”) products and was especially impressed when I saw their display during my first trip to Sea Otter a few years back. They design and manufacture bike accessories that can be used across all bicycle disciplines. They feature everything from mini pumps and hand pumps, racks…
Indubitably Sea Otter 20 Ten didn’t fail to deliver; beautiful weather, bikes, people and products. Last year Jer and I visited as many booths as possible looking for new and innovative products. Sometimes though the coolest new products can be found from the old guard companies; one such company is Camelbak. Camelbak has been around…
Kona = a quality bike company that conjures up images of coffee, my other favorite hobby. Kona was represented at Sea Otter 2010 in a small way via a booth, not a big diesel rig and huge bike display with a lounge for the employees and guests to hang out. Kona came to Sea Otter…
