What is This THING?

It’s a website. With some cool t-shirts for sale. And some thoughtful route suggestions. And a curated list of cycling-related links. If I can get my act together, I might blog a bit, do some ride reports. Maybe a gallery of images. Honestly, the whole thing’s a bit of lark. I love riding my bike, and if I’m not riding my bike, I’m often thinking about riding my bike, planning a ride I might do one day, or clicking around in search of inspiration. My hunch is I’m not alone. There are quite a few of us out here in the Great Midwest happily obsessed and boring our loved ones with bike talk. What we lack in meaningful topography we make up for in enthusiasm. So, while Midwest A.C. may not be entirely serious, I created this site for people who are in fact pretty serious about riding bikes. If that’s you, well then, welcome to the team.
