The ride home yesterday was just about perfect. Wonderful temps 79F. Tons of cyclists out.
I was stopped waiting for traffic to clear and noticed a female roadie on the other side of the road. No, this is not my usual hormonal post. She was trackstanding in a different manner than I have seen before.
Her cranks were at a 45 degree angle matching her downtube while sitting perfectly still. That and her front wheel was perfectly straight. Dang it! I was so jealous. I can't seem to trackstand more than several seconds. I think I may need to try and copy her method.

This morning I was feeling less than excited about working and left 20 min late to discover that my front wheel had flated in the garage. Serves me right for saying I hardly ever flat. Also, removing my tuffy tire liners was an idiotic idea that I fixed while replacing my tube. At least I am getting quick at changing my tube. Too bad my cheap floor pump only takes schrader valves and my mini pump takes forever to pump up to 105psi. I think it is time to look for a road morph.
