Cycleboredom?

Cycleboredom self-portrait

Cycleboredom (CBD) is a neglected side-project of Artboredom. That doesn’t help? Ehhh, it’s a brand? Self-defeating name aside, CBD is like ABD (like that?) in that it looks at its subject in a different light. Then it lets everyone know about the light by pounding it into their heads with acerbic, sarcastic wit.

This site is for fun. This isn’t Cyclingnews, VeloNews, PezCycling News, or any other journalistic website. While I may report on actual happenings in the peloton this is for all intensive purposes, opinion. I hit the three mentioned above for an accurate, unbiased (generally) report of our beloved sport and lifestyle. You come here to read about: dopers deserving jailhouse love, product porn, where you really put chamois cream, and about the douche wearing his bibs over his white cotton t-shirt. And hopefully there’s pics, otherwise it never happened.

Warnings, liabilities, and other crap.

I’ve got quite a mouth when I type. I’ve formulated a lot of opinions on cycling in general from a wide range of experiences. I’m a fan, a rider, and a former bike shop manager. There are going to be times when I step on some of your toes – hard. Remember that this site is just for fun. If you still have some sand in your vagina then start your own damn site and blog about how much of an ass I am.

In all seriousness

I may from time to time disperse information that I’ve gathered from trusted, respected sources. Some of this may be nutritional, mechanical, or physical in nature. I am not an expert, and I am not responsible for any accident, injury, sickness, hospitalization, or (good god) death resulting from you people acting upon what I write here without consulting your physician, bike mechanic, yoga instructor, or tarot card reader beforehand.

These opinions are my own

It goes without saying that the opinions and statements posted on this site are mine alone and don’t necessarily reflect the views, positions, or opinions of my employer. But it goes without saying that it should be said regardless. Wait… what?

Don’t you design websites?

Yes, this is a theme, or template, or whatever you want to call it. I call it temporary. Someday, when I’m not struggling to pay the bills with legitimate client work and I’m able to code a site specifically for myself and cycling then we’ll all have a party and toast my success. Until then, this WordPress theme is doing a lot of what I want using custom fields, tasty PHP, and the almighty jQuery.

If you’re interested, check out my web/graphic design site as well. I do work for small to medium sized businesses. I could for you too! My professional sites aren’t templates. Each project is built from scratch using WordPress as a CMS. I love me some WordPress.

STATE OF THIS SITE (6/14)

I’ve slowly added minor details to the existing template, most importantly to brand it. Beyond that I’ve altered the content slider to the size I desired and changed some of the typography and legibility. I’ll be adding more goodies later, but for now, it will show the posts that I type; and that’s all it really needs to do.
