That kid didn't even look behind him before he veered across the lanes. There was a bus coming behind us, too, but fortunately I ended up in the opposing bike lane with no cars coming.
1.5" tear to the plastic. This is after I used a whole buncha clear nail polish to stick things back together.

Today I got my first bee sting of my life.
I was riding around, talking to a friend, and a bee flew into my mouth, and stung my tongue before I spat it out. What the hell are the chances?
Also, I lost one of my lizardskins bar ends.

Is that a pear? I detest pears... Plums/pears = most worthless fruits out there.
Today I: Took my brand new fixie out for its 2nd ride. I'm still a little intimidated by not having a conventional braking method, so I might just add a front break until I get more comfortable.
Also realized I had my saddle way too high. I adjusted it a good 2 inches lower when I got back to the house, so we'll see how it feels tomorrow.
Overall it feels great to be back on a bike though, super stoked to have that feeling I've missed since I was in middle school

If you're not talking about this kind of asian pear you're missing out on life:
You can find them @ oakland chinatown for cheap
Seriously the best pear.

Only fruit that we should be talking about are donut peaches.
Best. Peach. Ever.
And I know there's probably a better forum for this, but I like you fools. What are people's thoughts on the Giant TCX 2?
https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/....2/9022/48878/
My friend's older brother was looking into one, since he said he works closer to home and in downtown now, so driving is pointless. He said he was looking more for a cyclocross bike, was looking at the TCX 2 more specifically because of Taiwanese pride (his words).

One time a bee landed on my neck and stung me. At first I thought my headphones were shocking me, but it kept hurting for a few seconds so I grabbed at my neck and pinched a bee up. Ended my ride pretty promptly.

Your cog is slipping.
Also, a couple of months back a bee hit me in the face, managed to get underneath my sunglasses and stung me right next to my eye. It looked like I got hit in the eye with a baseball.
