Jens Voight from the Tour de France. Check out the bandages…too bad it wasn’t a fixie
This is a awesome story.
Jens Voight wins my vote for MVP of the Tour de France this year. He had my vote early on after watching him absolutely destroy himself on some nasty climbs to put his team lead, Andy Schleck, into position to take the yellow jersey. But yesterday sealed the deal.
After having a tire blow out on a fast descent forcing a crash that would send most mortals to the hospital and out of the race he was stranded. His team cars had left him behind and his bike was torn to shreds on impact. Rather than fold it up, he was able to borrow a kids bike with old school toe clips pedals to catch up to his team car, swap to a real bike and finish the race.
Whether you’re into cycling or not, this is the kind of drive you want to embody.

Another amazing work from Blu. Can’t get enough. From the first one I saw until now, I’ve got to admit it’s getting better. It’s getting better all the time.
This stuff is unreal.

Greatness from LA artist and friend Bethany Barton. Just learned she was on the Tumblr. Love me some Tumblr.
