Anyone else ever wish they were taller (shhhhhhh hairnet, go away), so that they could fit like 57 cm bikes? Because aesthetically, I think that is the sweetspot for frames.

You can't tell when you're riding them.
That said, I do wish I was taller as it seems the majority of the used market is for the taller folks.

I'm 6 foot even and growing up I always wished I was shorter so I could fit on racing motorcycles better.

I've always liked the way small bikes looked if they're set up really aggressive. Decent amounts of seatpost, slammed stem, short headtube.

Sold the mountain bike today, getting ready to sell my old phone, and a couple other odds and ends in order to get money for a cross bike or something like that.

Watched A Murder Of Couriers last night. Pretty good doc about messengers in Vancouver. It's probably already been mentioned on here, but....

As I complain about the perpetual summer. I don't think we even had a "winter" this last year.

Today I saw a mother bear with two cubs while hiking. Luckily they did not want to hang out.

Felt light headed after a hard loop in central park; doing this after a stressful 12 hour shift doesn't help.

I applied to be the trainer at my job. I would be responsible for Phase 1 (of 2) training for my department. Most importantly, I would get off shift work.

I figured out an easy bike route to work, 30 mile round trip. I've been wanting to ride there for months but because of school I didn't have the time to ride there. Excited to really put some miles in.
