The Big Fight






  I would argue that you can not see much of a boxing match in a football stadium. Most of the fans in attendance of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight would disagree thanks to the huge television screens in Cowboys Stadium. My argument is still that in your living room with a pay per view fight you are closer to the scree/thus seeing a better image even if it is only 42 inches.
  Never the less, place was full with more than 50,000 mostly Pacquiao fans watching the master win another world title, this one in the Welterweight division. Good for him 'cause he and Jerry are taking everyone's money.

Bike Friendly




I have been inspired by the freedom that two wheeled cycles have given me since I was able to balance on the contraptions as a seven year old. Ever since, I have had some form of pedal vehicle close by whether it was a classic road bike, a mountain bike or the banana seat cruiser of my childhood.
It just came naturally to get excited about a story on the progression of the bike Culture in Fort Worth including Jeremy Shlachter's custom made Gallus Cycles frames to the guys behind the latest bike shop, Trinity Cycles on South Main Street.
It is great to know that there is a true bike culture thriving in the Fort Worth area.
