Is your wheel okay now that you've seen it in the somewhat daylight?

Yeah, that's rather steep.

I keep tossing around the idea of having a fixed gear film festival (pedal, red light go, the puma dvd, the mashsf trailer, etc.). I envision it in someones apartment (I'd be willing to host), with a ride after.

It is ok... it is out of round which sucks, but it looks like it will hold up.

Anyone going to see The Have Nots (or maybe it's The Rights, I can't tell - Jon Cauztik of the Stray Bullets, anyhow) show in some basement in JP on sat?

There were a bunch of bikes there last time I saw the Bullets and I think Jon might mess?

My roommate decided to "Ghost ride" his mountain bike this evening and after it hit a curb, breaking the rear suspension piece again, I fell over on my bike laughing so hard, and ended up breaking another crankbrothers road shoe adapter.

It was funny but not 7.50 funny.

I don't know where my card reader is.

But I'll take it out Thursday (unless it is raining). because my rear wheel on the KHS is still way out of round/true and I don't know when I'll make it to a LBS before the weekend

Anybody want to donate a non-drive Sugino 75 crank arm to the Rob-Got-T-Boned-By-Stupid-Car Charity Fund?

Did you not get insurance money? That is a bummer man.

Foolishly, I biked off without getting the guy's info. About ten yards down the road I realized my bike wasn't actually all right but by then the guy'd driven off. Oh well, at least he has a Rob-sized dent in his hood to worry about.
