Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I was assaulted by a female prostitute while working in a retail store when I was in college.

Pretty sure I saw a Jandro doppelganger at 4:20 mark.

I'm thinking of doing Seattle to Portland this year but have no friends who would want to ride with me so not sure if it will be fun by my lonesome.

I want to do Portland to San Francisco this summer, maybe I could start in Seattle first and do that leg too.

Roommate was talking about doing that too since he has some stuff in storage down there so he could rent a truck to get back. Sounds like a pretty epic ride if you take the 1 all the way down.

If you end up doing STP hit me up, I'll be doing it fixed most likely since I don't own any other bikes.

Alright I mopped up some stuff here.
I think we'll be better off keeping such a subject in the confines of the politics & religion subforum.

Today I put in 60 miles and 12 hours visiting 11 different museums around the city. It was a free admission event despite the fact that most museums don't charge you admission. MOCA is offering a two year membership to people that complete this 10 museum challenge today. Needless to say, I am beat.

That sounds pretty cool. I'm not much of a museum guy, but would have definitely partook in this.

Today I have a day off having worked 18 days straight. Just gonna hang out and do some food shopping. 20 degrees right now means no riding today for me. Tired of winter.

Had a weekend of excellent thrifting. $10 got me the original Wind Waker, and some albums I was looking for (beastie boys, yo la tengo, and nas).

Also got a wool dressing gown (robe) that retails for ~$500 at the awesome price of $16. It's comfy.
