doctor sentenced to 5 years

this happened a while back. full story here.

it was nice to see justice served. anyone who takes it upon themselves to "teach them a lesson" in a negative manner is a dangerous person and should be treated as such. while the doctors actions were aggresive and intentional, it seems like judges are at a loss on how to treat cases that are not. like the death of tim pincikowski on maple road last summer. nicholas wahl was recently sentenced on the fatal collision here in ann arbor.
full story

or, who can forget the firefighter who shot a man in the head? he shot the cyclist in front of his wife and three year old child to teach him a lesson. the firemen felt the cyclist was acting carelessly by riding in the road. so thinking safety first, shot 'em in the head. full story

just a stand up guy having a bad day the judge said. the firefighter got 120 days in jail.
so be careful out there. you never know when a distracted driver or homicidal maniac may be approaching. fucking ridiculous. all i know is that when the earth resembles cormac mccarthy's "the road" bikes win! i could totally begin going on a rant about how a man with a gun seems to stand a lot taller then when he is without. or how a weapon turns a pussy into a badass instantly. or how a vehicle is a weapon when used as such.
let's just ask ourselves,"what would patrick swayze do?" i think we all know the answer. one word...
...rumble!

Dresden Gold Sprints

GOLDSPRINT Dresden from veloheld. on Vimeo.


so dennis and crew are returning to ann arbor for one night only. bringing with them their open sprints krietler hell yes roller racing. the weather has been so shitty lately that it only seems appropriate to do this now. anyone who hasn't come out really needs to see what this is all about. even as a spectator you're guaranteed to have a good time. this year is 18 and up which is cool as well. pretty cool to see how far along the open sprints set up has become. see you there.
