Coyote’s bike was stolen last night in the Francisco/Logan area of Chicago.

Get your bike off my dog.

It’s actually green, not a hue of blue.

If you have ever been to any bike event in Chicago in the bast 4 years, you have seen this bike, and everyone knows the owner.

FIND THE FUCKER WHO STOLE IT.

REWARD IF YOU BRING ME THE KNEECAPS OF THE THIEF.


Thanks Lara!
And remember; Like Kevin Garnet, Anything is possible!


As found here.

And for good measure, Team Beer, in Portland, supplied everyone at Alpenrose last week with BACON Cupcakes!
Good job Team Beer.

XXX Presents Tag Team Relay Cyclocross, Aug. 29. Chicago.

This feels more like an alleycat than a CX race, but maybe that’s because 2 Team Beer’d members are partially behind it.
Spartacus, I’m sure, had a hand in it and Simon totally did the flyer.

Here’s some details.

You have a little over a month to find a partner for the Relay Cross.
Find someone in your category (1/2/3 can intermix) and also find a partner of opposite sex for the Coed race(categories don’t matter).
If you need more reasons to do this other then it will be fun, here are few:
Two complete bike fittings from Get a Grip
Two custom messenger bags from Seagull
Gift certificates from Labrabbit Optics
I-Go Memberships with driving credits
Specially Blend Coffee from Intelligentsia,
Home Brewing kits also from Intelligentsia.
Hats from Kozy Prery
Clothing and jerseys from Faction Cycling Co and Twin Six
New Embrocation cream and other stuff from DZ Nuts
New Chamois Cream from Enzo’s Buttonhole
Two Custom Paint jobs from Chester Cycles
Two Taste of VQ passes from Visionquest
One frame raffled away to all preregistered racers from Tati Cycles.
and some more stuff.

Here is XXX’s website with even MORE details! How exciting.


Better than NASCAR, Sorta like Cyclocross

I saw this over at All Hail The Black Market.

It’s better than NASCAR because it’s European and doesn’t involve going around in circles while being trapped in a Southern Thunderdome.

It’s sorta like cyclocross because everyone always wrecks in the same spot. During the Woodland Park race of the MGP series in Seattle, they had to change the course after every single racer in one race went down on a slick, wet, asphalt corner. That change just made the race faster anyway.


The Face of a Bike Thief

Everyone who ever has had a bike stolen or who knows someone who’s bike has been stolen always dreams and fantasizes about finding that fucking dick and pounding their heads into the concrete.

Last night, a few Team Beer’d'ers did exactly that.

My understanding is that Adam and Meg were at a bar, witnessed a bike theft, ran the fucker down, and did this….

Fucking good job guys. Hell yeah.

There’s a special place in the 8th Ring of Hell for fuckheads like that.

Oh by the way, we’re back!




You don’t see these from us very often, because frankly, we don’t care too much about who actually dies in the media. Oh you are a celebrity and you died? Well, we probably didn’t like you anyway.

The man who inspired the art on our jerseys (and the logo on the right of our website), Frank Frazetta, passed away last week.
“Frank Frazetta, the American illustrator of movie posters and comics who created enduring images of Tarzan and Conan, has died. He was 82.

Frazetta died Monday {May 10} in Fort Myers, Fla., of complications from a stroke.” CBC

Frank Frazetta was a huge influence for us. Like I said, he inspired the art on our jersey, as well as influenced the art and songs of many metal bands. (That’s a total guess, but I bet you anything, there are a bunch of metal nerds out there, just like you and me, who think the same thing.) You may also recognize his art from such movies as “Conan the Barbarian” and “Conan the Destroyer”.


Here’s the real news of the day. Yesterday, May 16, 2010, one of the true Godfathers of Heavy Metal passed on into the dark realm of true death. Mr. Ronnie James Dio, singer of the band DIO and also Black Sabbath (for a little while), as well as the combination of Dio/Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell. Coining the hand gesture now dubbed the Metal Hand, Mr. Dio did more for heavy metal than you or I will ever know. He was fighting a long and arduous battle with stomach cancer when he passed on yesterday.

Mr. Dio, we salute you. The afterlife doesn’t know what’s coming for it. GO KICK SATAN’S ASS!

Your blogger (myself) was fortunate enough to go see Heaven and Hell a few years back with fellow metal head Nordic Thunder. We felt a dark blessing that night that we could not nail down until yesterday. Mr. Dio killed it at that show, just as much as he did with every single show before that. He was a true entertainer.

Our horns salute you, Holy Diver.
