And to think I felt bad about not making it to Portland

Stumbled across this and thought I'd share, for those who can't go the the hand built show like myself.

See, we get the last laugh! (errr.. a laugh akin to that mental breakdown Tom Hanks does looking into the hole in his floor in the movie Money Pit)

Those of us not going to the show will be feeling like characters in the "left behind" (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/08/Left_Behind_DVD_cover.jpg) series.

We will be standing by,
with our internet browsers loaded to Flickr.com waiting for photos to load...

I don't care much for interbike but will go just to see. nahmbs is pretty cool and way more accessible. it may be a zoo but still nothing like the crowds around the free beer taps in the mtb section.

That "Fred ride in Utah"... Is that with David from The Fredcast in Park City?

As the fillet-brazed hype machine that is the North American Handmade Bicycle Show nudges its self-consciously retro bar-end shifter into high gear, another bike show prepares to open its doors as well

Love him or hate him - the guy is funny.

Which Fred ride in UT.?

[swoop]

i'll be in full effect and exploring the fred within in the most shameless way.. at the moab skinny tire festival.

if you're there be sure to stick a pump in my spokes and say hi. i'm lookin' forward to it.

[FATBOY]

"So be sure to check out the NAMPBS, where the only thing looser than the schedules are the manufacturing tolerances. It’s the show that actually represents what most of us ride. "

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. In real life does this guy write for Family Guy?

He has smacked so many things that desperately needed smacking.....It is therapeutic to read it...it has probably saved him from serving jail time to write it....
