Thanks for the offer Tom. I may take you up on that. If I do it will be a few months away, like next spring. I really appreciate it. I'm considering buying a cheap fixie to try it out. I'm just waiting for one to come up for same that doesn't look like a bag of skittles. I cant stand all those colorful tires and random parts its just not my style. Ive had my eye on a suglyama, but its orange with yellow tires. The dude is dead set on getting 150 for it.

The heat here has been killer this week. Right now at 9pm it is still 97 out. Its been hitting about 110 during the day all week. I haven't been riding much this week. Just about an hour in the evenings. Just a little while ago I left for a ride and right out of the driveway my front tire ballooned out. It split right in the middle. It was weird i was riding along and it just started falling apart. I'm really glad it happened in front of my house. I turned around and was able to ride back to my door. Tire got way worse riding back. All the bike stores are closed on Sunday so I might just buy a tire offline.

Following the tire failure, I took the free trash pile bike on a maiden voyage. Its a real pig, but its ride able. I do like the speed. I can cruise flat out in top gear. It really moves out. I don't like the way it handles though. It don't think it could ever corner like the bmx. Once I get it dialed in it will make a great sprinter. I'm building it up to be a beater bike that I don't need to worry about locking up at the store. I think Ill ride it untill I get to the Trek. I will probably end up selling it cheap, or giving it to a student who needs transport.

I found a dude on youtube that does bmx deliveries in New York. This dude is some kind of badass. I never thought it could be possible, but I guess it its.

I guess I could try bicycle delivering when I'm in Austin. I don't think its that big there, but I might be mistaken.
