Taking the High Road, the Low Road and Maybe a Boulder or Two

When George W. Bush fell off his mountain bike and banged up his face the week before last, the world took modest note of the president's new hobby.

What it did not know was that over the past three months the 57-year-old chief executive, sidelined from the fast track with runner's knee, has become so consumed by mountain biking that he now rides at least an hour a day on most weekends, and monitors his heart rate with a wrist strap during workouts. (Mr. Bush reported through his press secretary, Scott McClellan, that he sometimes gets above a chest-thumping 160 beats per minute.)

Blah, blah... already posted....

Speaking of New Orleans...

There are HEAPS of cool crusier bikes all over the French Quarter... nothing expensive, but some very cool paint/deceration jobs on mostly single speed beaters.

Here's a pic of a bike that looks like it was put together by a committee that I saw parked on Burbon Street...

Now if I can just get to gawd awful stench erased from my brain, I'll be ok...
