Bad shoulders, worse news
Hi all. I got the results of my shoulder MRIs, and I’m in store for two surgeries. The first is next Wednesday. My shoulders have been hurting for a long time, and it turns out there’s no prize for being tough.

/2 Comments/in Ask Lee/by leelikesbikesLee, If you are a pro, can you deduct bike related stuff on your taxes? I always wondered what you could get away with. Thanks.
Moto: Bridging the gap between mini and full size
/18 Comments/in Ask Lee, Moto/by leelikesbikesLee, I am 39 years old, 5 foot 7 at 135 pounds and live in California (green/red sticker). I got a used little 1998 kx80 a year ago to see if I like dirt biking. Of course I do, so now I need a bigger bike but a 125/250 seem too big for me. I […]

James Wilson: Bad movement causes pain
/2 Comments/in Skills/training/by leelikesbikesI’ve been doing a lot more trail riding lately (stoked!), and I’m noticing fatigue in my mid-back. This is vexing, because my training and technique have remained constant. Who better to ask about this than world famous MTB strength coach James Wilson?
