Who’s that cyclist!?

Know this guy?

The University of Minnesota Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying the person who they believe made a bomb threat involving Willey Hall on Dec. 5.

An unknown person called 9-1-1 at 10:26 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5 and indicated to Minneapolis Emergency Communications Center that there was a bomb in Willey Hall.

The UMPD is releasing surveillance images of the suspect. Surveillance video captured images of the male riding his bicycle to a location and placing the phone call.

Friend of yours? Turn him in! I’m sure you’ll get a big fat reward.

Water Heater

Draining out what already did not leak out on the floor. What a mess. Nothing appears ruined. Geeze, these things hold a lot of water. Like enough to maybe fill a bathtub or take a long shower. I wonder if they were designed to hold that much water for some reason? Anyone have one of those tankless water heaters? Thoughts?

Rock Racing

Interesting VeloNews interview.

I heard a story about those Rock Racing guys. There was a group at the race venue promoting a youth cycling rodeo where a bunch of kids were riding bikes around road cones and having fun. The Rock guys showed up and moved all the cones out of the way so they could park their team SUV and Lamborghini next to the course. So much for the kids.

When someone asked them about it the response from the team was an enthusiastic Fuck You.

Ball has made clear his intentions of building his domestic squad into a Tour de France-caliber team, telling VeloNews earlier this year, “I want a yellow jersey on my wall.”

Fuck you.
