It's the annual gym membership, cheap as a family pass at Acadia U. I was really surprised how simple and clever this is, you can make all adjustments while on the bike and slowly tweak them at speed.
Neil Young, Beck, Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, Fiest and The Birthday Party were accompanists for the hour.

Iron Maiden. The purveyor of boredom.

So, you're the ones who stole my iPod. Even the Eno.

Which Beck - with Rod Stewart on vocals, or the new kid?

I certainly hope it is the new kid, thought that is a bit of a misnomer since he's 44 years old and one of my contemporaries. His Sea Change album from 2002 is incredible.

The Matrix S series is my favorite gym spin. Note the drop bars:

I wonder what'd they say if you brought your own bars and saddle? You could fit yourself pretty good on that transfer those measurement to other bikes.

Love that cover. Just listened to this album again. "It's easy to get buried in the past, when you try to make the good thing last." -Neil Young, Ambulance Blues. How very C&V!

I used to like Beck more. I know it shouldn't affect my appreciation for his music, but I have a hard time getting past the whole Scientology thing.

BFC&V: came for the bikes, stayed for the music.

Nice. I wasn't aware of that Steely Dan album. My moniker is from my alma mater, UCSB, btw...Speaking of Zuma, I have many found memories visiting that beach as a child. My best friend's dad, who was a reserve LAPD, would often drive us over the hill to the beach. Just like Neil on the beach, he'd pack two Coors for the drive.

Sen. Buckley calls for Nixon to resign

Yeah, I hear you. I just ignore that fact and listen to the music for what it is.

Sea Change is my fave too although Jeff Beck was the consummate pro....Blow by Blow, Wired and even going back to Beck Bogert and Appice.
[MENTION=72991]urodacus[/MENTION] I must try Before and After Science next session, or Phil Manzanera or anyone affiliated with Brian.

Bars and seat clamp are proprietary so no go but you can swap pedals for spds etc.

“One of my favorite album covers is On the Beach. Of course that was the name of a movie and I stole it for my record, but that doesn't matter. The idea for that cover came like a bolt from the blue. Gary and I traveled around getting all the pieces to put it together. We went to a junkyard in Santa Ana to get the tail fin and fender from a 1959 Cadillac, complete with taillights, and watched them cut it off a Cadillac for us, then we went to a patio supply place to get the umbrella and table. We picke up the bad polyester yellow jacket and white pants at a sleazy men's shop, where we watched a shoplifter getting caught red-handed and busted. Gary and I were stoned on some dynamite weed and stood there dumbfounded watching the bust unfold. This girl was screaming and kicking! Finally we grabbed a local LA paper to use as a prop. It had this amazing headline: Sen. Buckley Calls For Nixon to Resign. Next we took the palm tree I had taken around the world on the Tonight's the Night tour. We then placed all of these pieces carefully in the sand at Santa Monica beach. Then we shot it. Bob Seidemann was the photographer, the same one who took the famous Blind Faith cover shot of the naked young girl holding the airplane. We used the crazy pattern from the umbrella insides for the inside of the sleeve that held the vinyl recording. That was the creative process at work. We lived for that, Gary and I, and we still do.”
