House envy for this home is hard to suppress. If they can build this in Portland, Oregon, why not in Texas? Just the fact that they 22 bikes between them is over the top.

A House Built for 2 (2 Bicycles)

I want to hate these people. I really do. But as someone who is currently in the emotional vortex of the home buying process, I more envy their ability to build a house from scratch to suit their needs.

We greatly…

Who isn’t inspired by an image of the peloton climbing a sinuous mountain pass? The colors of the various jerseys create a kaleidoscope…
