I'm 18 going on 19 and I had to bike to get to class. I never really did any measuring but I did ride almost every single day of the school year so far, save for that week somebody stole my wheel and the time before I got a bike. Rain or shine, even through a 30mph rainstorm. Of course, I don't think I'll be doing anymore actual riding for a while; bent my replacement wheel in an accident yesterday. But I do quite a bit while studying on an exercise bike, usually 8 miles or more, so if all goes well I won't suffer too much.

For those of you who go to UC Davis, it's the one-wheeled blue Freespirit abandoned out by the bookstore. Seeing as I got it for free (dug out of somebody's garage), already dropped 1/4 of the value on a wheel, and it was half-dead to begin with, I'm going to upgrade soon. haha The saddle's a keeper, though.

I don't know how "awesome" of a biker I am but I do "race" other bikes and I'm that jerkoff who passes 5-6 of you slower folk out there in a blaze of speed. Sometimes I can get some mad, pedal grinding angle full tilt around roundabouts.



Here it is in happier times. Funny how it's sitting a few hundred feet away from where I took that picture right now.

Weight? f-king heavy. My weight? Nowhere near ideal for cycling!
