New Outside Column!

With the weekend lying tantalizingly before us like a freshly-unwrapped sandwich, I leave you with my latest column for Outside, which is about what a gigantic weenie I am:


While I didn't come up with the title and am a little uncomfortable with the word "great," ultimately I must acknowledge it's fitting given as this column is basically an act of supplication on my part.  Hey, over time we all find ourselves doing and saying stuff we never thought we would, to wit:

"My flip-flop just unplugged my Di2 derailleur" is a thing I never thought I'd type. But here we are.— Bike Snob NYC (@bikesnobnyc) August 2, 2018

There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for the circumstances that resulted in that tweet, but it's far more intriguing if you don't know what those circumstances were, so let's leave it at that.

Now I leave you go sink your teeth into the sandwich that is the weekend.  May all your rides be enjoyable, and may your lap be free from giant errant globs of egg salad.

Yours and so forth,
