There seems to be car related advertaising on the sidebar.
Does not go very well with the spirit of Yehuda
and really pisses off a cyclofasist like me.
Google ads are based upon your google history. Mine currently is for betabrand bicycling clothes and allposters.com. What has the cyclofascist been looking up?
Why can’t you set this site, since it is a bicycle-related site, for bicycle-only related ads? If I had been checking out renting a car, for example, on Google, I have more than likely already gotten the information I needed and don’t need to be hounded by additional ads from the likes of, say, National or Enterprise.
I also drink beer, eat fast food, and occasionally share some tender moments with my significant other. Don’t tell me I can expect to see ads featuring Miller 64, Ronald McDonald, or the Trojan Twister because of that.
Funny, the only ads I see are by Walz Cycling Caps, Bike Tours Direct, and Betabrand bike wear — my browsing history must be more bike-related than I thought!

I’ve never lost my gloves either but I did fall asleep on my Fixxed gear while riding to work at 430am….fell asleep on my motorcycle all the time…many a time I would get home and not remember a thing about the trip
My car ad is for Dodge Ram. Though not much for the company or the vehicles I sure do like the ad. What’s not to like about car companies, if inadvertently, supporting a cycling site?
Those badges, on the other hand, are just nasty. I wanna forget that stuff!
I’ve earned all but the third and that has more to do with not being able to grow a mustache. Though a scarf can serve the same function so I still count it.
So far I have #4 in multiples, but then if you live in Portland (Oregon) you can’t bike commute without getting rained on. Conversely #2 is hard since it rarely freezes, and I’m out on #3 since my wife insists on no facial hair.
BTW I don’t get any sidebar adds since Ghostery apparently blocks them. I guess I should unbock and click on something to bring some revenue.
I want a medal for the day I came out of work to find a blizzard had put 3ft drifts everywhere and I had to carry my bike most of the 5 miles home because the snow was up to my knees or hips everywhere.
Or, oh yeah, the newspaper route I did one winter with a bike trailer where I had to haul the whole load of papers three miles to my “motor route” even when the snow was unplowed and deep.
You left off trip to the ER for hypothermia because you got caght by a cold front and kept riding anyway…
Nearly got that one.
It’s 18F right now. Maybe this year!
I’ve only earned 2 and 4. Like Fizz said “I ain’t made of Sugar.”
Though I have seen #1′s often and have wondered whether the owners did find them.

Adds were by google and i just learned how to block vehicle related advertisement.
So Probably those had nothing to do with Yehuda in the firstplace.
How do you block a type of Google ads?
You notice adverts? You ain’t been using a browser long enough….
Google ads are based upon your google history. Mine currently is for betabrand bicycling clothes and allposters.com. What has the cyclofascist been looking up?
We filter all ad content for automobiles / driving/ etc. Meaning, if you have no Google browsing history, you don’t see car ads.
Sometimes companies lie about their content and an ad slips though, though. What company was it?

Because then revenue from Google would drop to near nil.

How about a Miller High Life run on a bicycle in the snow?

Might have been Nissan. I dont see car brands so clearly . I just see the enemy.

I’ve earned all but #1 on both bicycles and motorcycles. So far I’ve never fallen asleep on the bicycle…
Same here. All but #1.
It was 24° F this morning. Winter is on the horizon.
Broke out the winter tights and 3-fingered gloves.
I’ve never lost my gloves either but I did fall asleep on my Fixxed gear while riding to work at 430am….fell asleep on my motorcycle all the time…many a time I would get home and not remember a thing about the trip
Shivering off a 20 degree F ride in – nice to have that shorter way to go even if it does put me in traffic for a few blocks!

Slip Slide’n Away…
2nd Class – Crashing due to leaves
1st Class – Crashing Due to Black Ice
W/clusters – Hitting a car while doing it
Earned ‘em all

I am, in fact, made of sugar. Yet I still ride in the rain. Must be packed tightly enough.
I love these!
Lost a glove found it, then lost it again?
I’ve earned all four of those!
Nice. I’ve earned all four of these as well. Number three would be a hard on to earn for the fairer sex… most of them, anyway.
In the last week alone I have won ALL of these. Hooray Seattle. And my inability to keep a pair of gloves longer than one winter. -_-
I propose another badge:
Grow eyebrow icicles without noticing.
