The MadFBC Blog

This fucking bike club has scourged the streets of Madison. We've shotgunned in the lap of Abe Lincoln. We've challenged (and beaten) UW frat boys in drinking contests. We've partied in ice caves. We've pedaled across frozen lakes. We've fishtailed with 10 inches of...snow. We've been shoved by bums. We've dumpster-dived for donuts. and we ALWAYS have more riders than degrees fahrenheit.

We're the Madison Fucking Bike Club and we now have a blog.

As the inaugural post of this blog, we should acknowledge our St. Louis forefathers and brethren, the original Fucking Bike Club (see http://fuckingbikeclub.blogspot.com/), whose revolutionary foresight and creativity in the name of unbridled fun have brought to this world a movement of birra, bici, and tumulto like no other. We toast our shotgunned beers to you, our KDHX-listening, Ted Drewes eating, Riverfront trail riding friends of that great Gateway City. May your tires never flat.

If you are a member of the St. Louis FBC, let us say that your friends in the frozen tundra to your north have things in good hands. We ride every full moon. We prefer the shotgun method of beer intake. We have a penchant for mustache rides. We meet at an otherwise innocuous intersection in the industrial shadows of a coal power plant (Livingston and E. Main). We have taken to calling our rides a "Travesty" instead of a "Fiasco".

If you are a Madisonian, come join us. If you are a St. Louis biking ex-pat like some of us, where the fuck have you been all this time...
