I like Big Bikes and I cannot lie. Sometimes during a race I say things to my 29er like “I love you big wheels” . And sometimes they say things back like “We love you too man”. I might be Neuro-Typical but I'm definitely not Neuro-Normal. I started racing the Fisher 29ers three years ago, all single speed all the time. Other than Nationals and the SSWCs (which statistically improbable as it may seem, I have placed Top Eleven at twice) I go up against the geared guys, cuz that's the way (K.C. and The Sunshine Band) ugh-argh, ugh-argh I like it, ugh-argh, ugh-argh.
