Strokin’

The Spirit of it All

Some of this is totally fictional and some of it is an adaptation and mixture of true events. You’ll recognize them if you were there!Saturday morning six AM. The bedside alarm is going mad. Your wife rolls over and pulls the pillow harder over her head, not that she wasn’t expecting this, and even though […]

So You Wanna Be A Cowboy?

So you wanna be a cowboy?Why? ‘Cause chicks dig it!!!I hear ya. I really do. Man, there are few rushes that compare to hauling along on your back wheel past the crowds. Have you ever got some serious air time in front of your mates or, better yet in front of a bunch of strangers? […]

Ride With Your Head

By now you have either decided to buy a bicycle or you have made peace with the fact that your bike, regardless of make, model or age, is fast and dangerous. Hopefully you haven’t done yourself too much damage and you have some great war stories building up to share over a beer or two […]
