up to the bronx to ride the rumble route.
Had a blast - though taking the single speed over the Manhattan Bridge for my very first bike bridge crossing was an adventure (including the double circle I had to make by following the signs to the bike route - learned my lesson on that one!). Looks like the tire is about to pop off the rim though - think all those broken spokes are catching up with me! The wheel barely free spins at this point - no coasting at all and it pretty much stayed at one speed on the downhill part.
48 spoke rim is in the mail and should be here this week (along with a pump - yay!). Can't wait to upgrade these rims! I'm probably going to be flying after getting used to pushing these so hard.
Beautiful day for a ride - felt really good to be out there.
