spring 2005.
01. friends, acquaintances... i didn't want to rely on my car when i moved out to college.
02. my first two bikes--schwinn continental (lasted for about eight months or a year. i think it's in pieces in my grandmother's garage at home), and then my fuji "special road racer", which i'm planning on rebuilding.
03. i live in pennsylvania. when i picked up riding i lived in paoli (outside philadelphia), and now i go to school in lancaster (small town, rural area).
04. i enjoy the challenge. my bike is aesthetically pleasing to me. my hipster index in this place is much higher than it would be in a town with more of a fixed gear presence...
