Compelled to post this because:

“Sometimes the cosmic tumblers turn just right and the universe opens to possibilities never before imagined.”

So I met some of the kids from Outlier on Friday, then I found out they sponsor the blog Prolly is Not Probably, that has a weekly “Merckx Monday” post. Just seemed like a lot of coincidences related to a tiny little niche that my life is in.

Relatedly, it feels great to be back on my Merckx, getting “nice bike, man” hollar’d at me in the street again.

So I met up with some czechs, belges, and americans here in Prague, made some mallets, and started screwing around on street hockey courts a few weeks ago.

Well this week-end we threw down for real. We started playing some legit games on a newly discovered marble court on a historic platform of the Restaurant PRAHA-EXPO ’58 from the 1958 World’s Fair.

It was a blast. It made me sore.

Apparently this guy has the ultimate collection of all things 90′s and mountain bike.

Ultimate Collection?

Here’s a teaser pic.

Like the day an employee decided he was gonna leave his bike in the work area in a stand overnight, and well into the next day as well. When two childish shop employees went about their daily ritual of building up comfort bikes and found the employee bike blatantly parked in a work stand…, well, they put the large box of chaingaurds and reflectors to good use.

The best part was when the offending employee came in to install some tape on the bars so he could go for a quick ride…., it took him over an hour to remove all the newly installed safety features.

I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun putting reflectors on a bike.
