Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Hot town, Summer in the City

back of my neck getting burnt and gritty
snowing down, isn't it a pity
doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
all around people looking half-dead
biking on the sidewalk
hotter than a match head

o wait

u village says hello :)

THIS WEATHER SUX IM MOVING TO CALI

That weather looks like fun.

IT IS.

just spent an hour biking around volunteer park and i'm about to go back out with a group ride. they'll be on fixed gears, i'll be on this AWESOME SCANDIUM DREAMSCAPE. which is for sale. holllllaaaaaah!


also, U village is hilarious. not even gonna lie, surprised you could tell. i love it. i used to work at the gap there. (fmformerl)

I desperately want to move to Seattle once I'm through with school. Or maybe go up there for my Grad studies. It's amazingly beautiful. I just feel I might not survive the weather since I'm a Southern California kid. But I like the rain and snow, so I should be okay right?

IT is hellarious

there isn't a part of town i haven't lived (except ballard, f••• ballard)

i can't take the snow. never could. good thing it only comes every few years. or less.

also, can't take the hot. i like 45-68f :D

take more pix. seattle looks amazing in the snow.. but i hate it.

Flying Squirrels can't survive in that kind of weather.



Neither can I.

This weather is actually not too bad...just take sometime getting used to. Fun to pull skids and spray snow around. :D

If it wasn't for Lucy, I wouldn't have recognize you.

DUDE!

Telekinesis recorded at your studio?! Did you get the chance of meeting Chris Walla?

yeah, i used to do alot work with jason's (the drumber) studio (which closed/got sold) :(

but made some really great connections.
the seattle studio scene is really small, everyone knows everyone even if you dont think u met, you have.

I iz so jeellous

I want to be an audio engineer or something along that line... :(

i want to not work... still trying to figure that one out

:lol:

I'm on the other end of the spectrum...I am still lost about my post-secondary option..

u could always do audio in the film/tv industry up there http://www.gifmix.net/smileys/puking-smilies/31.gif (http://www.gifmix.net/smileys/)

I actually managed to get a part time job at The Warehouse Studio owned by Bryan Adams but of course I was more or less just there to do extremely insignificant tasks...got booted after 4 weeks...

OH MY GOD

that was awesome. cap hill to gas works to ballard, all in about 25 degrees and ice everywhere. i went down twice.

bombing down the kite hill, intense.

you crazy

Not really, it's actually really fun.

Even with skinny ass tires.

Hasn't snowed here in chicago yet.

I know it will eventually come, and going to be interesting.

Haha, it's still hot here.

I love riding fixed on slippery snow covered roads. Soon, soon.......

To answer your question: I got it into the snow without any tracks by picking the bike up over my head and hurling it soccer ball style, and getting it to land upright. It wasn't hard, because I'm masculine.

^^^
a pugsley would be so fun in that snow

You wouldn't be able to ride a pugsley (or any other normal-frame-size bike) through that snow. Note the pedals being completely submerged.

The rutted, hard-packed roads, however... ****ing blast.

this is the neighborhood we started in

Ok the bus part was pretty funny.

Almost good enough to make up for the music selection.

:lol: only acceptable music selection for these videos:

^^ lol

yes, seattle gets very little snow, when it does.. the ppl who drive cars, operate busses, and plan for such events are more then mildly ********.

there is a general *********** factor in seattle in for many things... :D

Oh, and I'd just like to take a brief moment to point out

how god damn pissed i'd be

if my bike was on the front rack of that bus.

AVPFC with a hardhacked digital back like i did in the 90s :C

i just sold the kona. now to find a root beer major one in my size and trade both my bikes for it...

or just pay my health insurance payments and dream about a new wheelset.

I like how the bus' sign changed from "Capitol Hill" to "Downtown" after it was spun around.

I wonder if it did that automatically on a timer or if it was on purpose... usually they say "out of service" or something of the like if they're out of commission.
