You see, if you cross the “I” in “Irish,” it says “Trish.” Hilarious, I know. Be sure to drink Trish-colored beer today.
Great to be recognized by Velo News. Now, for my corrections.
1. Trish Cohen’s interest in establishing Segal Bikes on U.S. shores is great, but not nearthe level of her sense of humor.
2. The company is owned by Gal Segal. His father Arie recently passed away.
3. The company has been making magnesium for 20 years, but bikes for only 5 or so.
4. I like the welds and so should you.
5. The Israelites are geniuses and they DID solve the magnesium corrosion issue. The bikes have slept in salt water tanks for months with no adverse reaction.
6. Steven Seagal is over-appreciated.
7. The bike is sold with your choice of Zipp wheels – carbon or aluminum; clinchers or tubulars.
. . . But thanks Velonews!
I only sweat in it for a few weeks before I realized that I am not going to grow into it and should get a helmet that fits me. It’s available on ebay.
Coming soon. . . cycling shorts with a worn out chamois pad.

Here’s some Chanukah and other relevant cards about Judaism from someecards:

How to Profit from the Coming Rapture, Getting Ahead When You’re Left Behind, is a delightfully entertaining book, especially for Jews who may not be familiar with the Rapture. Sure, Jews know the basic premise of the Rapture: the Second Coming of Christ. Likewise, Jews know who gets to participate in the Rapture: Not us. However, most Jews are not familiar with the intricacies of the Rapture.
When the Rapture occurs, Christians, dead and alive, will bask in Jesus’ glory. Obviously, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus will have to find other accommodations (The Bible belt will be wide open), but did you know that Catholics and less ardent Protestants will also be left behind? Who knew that all goys were not created equal?
While the book contains fun facts about the Rapture (1/3 of you will die, the rivers and seas will run with blood, locusts will swarm, mountains will move all over the place, and famine will strike) that is merely the book’s backdrop, not its focus. The focus is how you can profit during the tumultuous time between the Rapture and The Second Coming. This book is THE must-have investment guide for the unenlightened. Paying $10 now will net you billions during the 7 years of societal breakdown before Armageddon. If you love and care about your friends and family, you will buy this book for them for Chanukah.
