I may have people calling me a social media maverick, but I’m definitely not well-rounded like a lot of the social marketing guru’s out there.  The main reason is because I refuse to join the smart phone revolution.  Yeah, that’s right…..I don’t (and don’t intend to) own anything other than a simple pay as you go...

What’s the next coolest thing to enter the cycling industry?  Well, I’ve got my money on something called LimiLor designed by Darkside Scientific.  Darkside is a research and development company that specializes in electroluminescent technology……and what they’ve created is very awesome.

I read hundreds of news stories every week. Although I don’t remember everything, there are times when something sticks with me long after I finish reading and sparks memories or thoughts beyond what’s on the page.
