Still kicking.
Today I got a better front wheel for the 930.

Got my Sanction Rucksack from Mission Workshop... great quality, but here's the thing. It can't fit a 2 inch binder. And, of course, it's really only about 4 inches wide - when they measured they counted the outside pocket. It's for school, and with it being able to hold like 3 books (not counting binders, notebooks, etc.) that just doesn't cut it.
Probably returning it.

Today I:
-Realized that bikers on a bike path without lights pose quite a nasty hazard. As do runners, or really anything without a light.
-Realized that those Blackburn Flea lights are quite bright on their own... Definitely love the USB charge, Solar panel option, tiny easy to mount lights!
-Averaged about 15mph to 18mph riding home, but realized that without a backlight, I can't see my computer. At least it still keeps track of distance.
-Tried out the Deda Newton bars on the 725. a 55cm Leader is just one size too big for me, the stretch to the hoods is just too far (90mm stem), and I adjusted the seat for the risers, and forgot to grab the wrench to adjust it again...13 miles like that can get quite uncomfortable.

You wouldn't be the first one to put a BMX stem on a 725TR.

well, I still have hope Leader will remake their purple... Or maybe I'll just try and find a good deal on a 53 when I find some extra funds.

Today I walked from the World Trade Center to Bike Works to pick up some grey handlebar tape on my lunch break. Total Distance 3.8 miles in less than an hour.

When I click it it starts at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston and ends at Bike Works in NYC.
