So you walk into a swank little cafe. The type of spot where you actually appreciate the work that went into putting it together. You order up a cafe, watching the massive industrial espresso machine pull a shot so thick you could eat it with a spoon. After you enjoy it with a few little pastries and head off for the ride home you sneak back to the bathroom to find this: the squatter. I do not understand how these things still exist. Unreal. I always get a laugh when guys see these things for the first time and don’t even know what it is, still looking around the bathroom blindly for a toilet. Good stuff….

Tirreno wrapped up yesterday with a bunch kick. After a bit of a parade stage we ended with a crazy circuit on streets that turned to ice when a bit of rain started to fall. At least 40 guys went down. Somehow we all escaped unscathed. Now a couple of days to chill before san remo on Saturday.

EDIT: Check this out, sounds like China is dealing with this issue right now pre-Olympics.
