Driver Attacks Critical Mass in Brazil
This is ridiculous. Basically, there was a Critical Mass ride in Porto Alegre, Brazil and a driver went absolutely nuts and thrashed through the group of people. I’m going to warn you before you watch this, it’s pretty gnarly and scary to think somebody would get pissed enough to drive through a group of people, but this guy lost it.
I’m not really sure where to go with this since I’m still blown away, because i ride a bike on the daily to and from work now since i haven’t had a car since christmas, so I’m going to toss up the question… What does the driver deserve for his actions?
and to lighten the mood a little here is an epic video of a guy in the snow killing it on his bike! People are crazy.

Ahhhh! If you get freaked out by pigeons like me, wait until you see a whole writhing mass of the winged rats trapped inside a catapult net. Dirty little creatures!
Pigeons have been deemed a “plague” in Barcelona, spreading disease and pooping all over Gaudi’s beautiful buildings. To curb the destruction, the city is trying to catch 65,000 of the birds, roughly 25% of the pigeon population, over the next year and a half.

Tim Tebow w/ Nike
Via: Nike
Tim Tebow already is one of the most recognizable athletes in Denver.
His jersey is the NFL’s top seller this year. EA Sports has put him on the cover
of a video game.
Now, even before he has played in an NFL game, the Broncos rookie quarterback
has a shoe line, courtesy of Nike.
The shoes, which are called Nike Trainer 1.2, are the same orange-and-blue color
scheme featured at the University of Florida, where Tebow won two national
championships and a Heisman Trophy.
Nike promotional photos released this week in Florida show a shoe with a blue
upper and an orange sole. They also feature the EA Sports logo on the tongue
of each shoe.
One shoe will have “Promise” stitched on the heel, a reference to Tebow’s
impassioned speech after a loss to Mississippi in September 2008. That
speech is inscribed on a plaque outside the Gators’ football complex.
Stitched on the heel of the other shoe will be the years Tebow reached
major milestones in college football, such as the year he won the Heisman
Trophy — 2007 — as well as the national titles and years he was named
an All-American.
Tebow signed an endorsement deal with Nike before the NFL draft this past April.
The shoes are not yet available for purchase at Nike.com but will be on sale soon.

People Forgive, But They Don’t Forget Lebron
Truthfully speaking, I have mixed emotions on lebron going to miami. I think honestly he should of atleast been 100% completely honest with cleveland instead of kind of leaving them high and dry as well as Winning atleast 1 championship before he left there! With that being said, I can see from his perspective why he chose the miami heat also, he needs to win a championship and his thoughts are that he can do it with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosch. So i hope nothing but the best of lebron and the rest of his career. I really hope he is able to get atleast one Championship ring because if he doesn’t…. Well lets just say people will NEVER let him live this possible mistake down.
