Bikes: Pake Single Speed

Well, it was gridlock as we made our way up Spring Garden this morning. I have never seen traffic like that in that part of the city. Cecil B. Moore wasn't too bad for the few blocks I was on that road. I think I actually saw less bike commuters than usual.

I did see one new commuter, my wife. I told her that she had to try biking to work this morning before actually refusing to do it. I fely bad for her, as she rides an old cruiser (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ght=roma+sport) that I swear is made out of solid rods rather than tubing. It is also geared at a stout 32 x 20 which makes it kind of comical to see her legs pumping away with the bike going so slow. I stayed with her the whole pedaling once every 5 seconds or so for the whole four miles. She was worried that she would be all sweaty and gross for work, we'll have to see how it goes for the day.
