The original is "Mad World" by Tears for Fears. This version is by Gary Jules (vocals) and Michael Andrews (piano), featuring on the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

damn, and I couldn't think of another example other than the drugs/barren life one given by wikipedia for their suggestion that "Another way of trying to resolve a disagreement is by denying some presupposition of the contending thesis and antithesis; thereby moving to a third (syn)thesis."

oh yeah, that was sarcasm! nice work.

So, cycling as a means to elimination (ala Logan's Run)?

Heat bonk truly sucks! It's been either raining or 95 with 90% humidity here in Indiana all week, and I only got 90 miles in this week! I got sick and heat cramps twice this week!

Sorry Fritz, but I had to mention it again after today!

I opened several blog links in tabs in Firefox and suddenly heard music from Donnie Darko playing. I was very confused, because I have other music from the same film cued up in Winamp. Once I got to this page, I figured out what was going on. :)

nice bottle grips. should have "fixed" it while he was at it, though.

ah, he prolly doesn't even know how to whip his handlebars!

Glad I could help :-)

As I said, it's a bit ghetto, and it's not the "real" way to do whipping (not least because one tends to use twine rather than hookup wire) but it's an easy way to wrap tape on a bar without needing any adhesives at all. It looks really nice when it's done properly, too.

Try using a whip knot (I think that's what Jim over at Hiawatha Cyclery usually does when he's shellacing and using hemp twine). Basically, create a U loop of string and wrap the rest of the string over it and tie it off at the end (any boy scout should be able to show you a whip knot, or Google says it's used for fishing lures too). I did a ghetto version with some electronics hookup wire, which worked out pretty well. As Karl said, the main thing is to get the tension on the tape right to make sure it doesn't fall off.

A lot of people install cork tape without the adhesive intentionally because it is easier to remove later. As long as you get the tape tensioned properly, it should hold in place on it's own pretty well.

I've never seen such a shameless attempt to drive up traffic! Next, you're gonna tell us you have naked pictures of Bob Roll, and if we DON'T visit, you'll mail 'em to us!

Please do not do that. I'll behave.

R, you need to post the email addresses of these two politicians and let me know, I'll crosspost on my blogs as well. This is nothing more than an assault on cycling rights and they need to get a flood of email from the cyclists out there! After my featuring on the MSN homepage as well as What's your Story, my readership is way up! If I can't use this new popularity to support my sport, than something would be wrong, eh? Get with me and we can see about a unified effort as well as a few other blogs in the ring!

I have a bicycle-powered blender - my "midlife frivolosity" of the year. I never knew smoothies (or margaritas) could be so simple or so much fun!

I am responding to the unsigned editorial regarding my objection to John Forester being given a LAB award. The editor can apprently read minds. He (or she) claims that my objection to this award is because I personally do not like Forester. I have no personal feelings toward Forester one way or the other - in spite of the years of personal attacks he has launched against me.My problem with Forester is that he has pushed the use of roadways instead of bikepaths for cycle travel. While a good rider may be perfectly at ease on a road with traffic the 80 year old grandmother may not be. As a result of Foresters ridiculous stance on this issue, funding has been cut for designated bike paths and bike lanes. It is hard enough to get the funding we need for these projects without some "award winning LAB" person actively fighting against designated bike lanes and paths.
Remember this is the individual who under oath in a court of law blamed the bike industry for the failure of a cyclist to have a headlight on his bike at night. Forester's opinion for the Plaintiff resulted in a 8 million dollar verdict against Derby-who was my client at the time.LAB and the cycling public doesn't need this person further propped up by some LAb award or Board seat.
