Deep breath. Another 100 tips coming right up!

Tip 65: Start a bike blog

The stream of party invites, the blow and ingratiating SMS's from network executives are obviously transient.
But if you invest the money you make wisely (I commend to you a balanced portfolio keeping at least a mill in Chris King headsets) you can drop the annoying writing-of-posts part after mere months and buy a yacht with a teak velodrome foredeck.

BONUS TIP: If Wildcat Rock Machine can get a book deal, well, the publishing industry must be giving them away. Or Something.
