you do cross? do you know drew and mason?

No I've only been to the last 3 races, I raced in two of them. So I haven't gotten much of a chance to meet people. Cross is pretty much the most fun I've ever had on a bike though.

my main ride

i want to see a video of you doing bar spins with this thing. it looks perfect. nice, congruent build.

what?

I've give a holler when I see you pulled over by Balzlicker.

for not having brakes? Funnily enough, the cops don't really seem to **** with you when your ride your brakeless fixed gear bike around wearing tights, a helmet, and a bright green safety neon commuter jacket. I am so not hip

As far as bar spins. I still need to perfect my wheelies before I start ****ing w/ those things.

I left my backpack on the side of the road after checking out a pile of free stuff(it's not stolen, someone just thought it was free). It was on SE 51st, in between Woodward(bike route) and Tibbetts. It had a bunch of bike parts in it, including a new Formula silver track hub. If anyone hears about someone finding this, please let me/them know.

Other stuff in the bag included brown + pink Dia Compe hoods, a tube of Phil grease, a new chain, a few brake cables and some housing. It was also full of groceries, so if you or someone you know gets ahold of it please refrigerate my blue cheese and daikon radishes.

edit = recovered

This thread has gone far too long with out a post.

I interview next week with a company in downtown so if all goes well I'll be rolling in PDX full time (sorta, the job requires lots of travel) next month. Which could not come soon enough... Salem has no redeeming qualities and makes me yearn for Corvallis... if that was at all possible. Seriously, how did Salem become so anti-bike especially when surrounded by Portland, Corvallis, and Eugene... all bike friendly cities.

It's kind of snowing a bit yeah?

HAYYY
SNOWDAY


it sort of looks like it's letting up though

[edit] nevermind. no it doesn't.

I'm going to Dante's for some rock and ****ing roll tonight, the black lips and the hunches = a good time. It's only 5 bucks. I think doors are in 40 minutes.... not like that means anything though.

I finished moving to Portland on Friday.
My bmx is fully dialed but my current track bike is in pieces in the closet.
I need to get some things before it will be back together. Most likely I will have the fixed together by the end of next weekend but for sure within two weeks.
I sold my other fixed to a buddy ( been my daily ride for the past year) and am using the cash to finish the other.

i know it's cold, but anyone interested in a ride tonight?

...i caught the plague from my girlfriend, and my skin hurts too much to ride a bike right now.

Anyone ever had a fixie stolen here?

One thing I notice looking on the bikeportland stolen bike listings is that the overwhelmingly grand majority of bikes on there were stolen unlocked or cable locked...

your SKIN HURTS?

i think i might also have the plague too though. i've been super achey and go from overheated to chills in a matter of minutes. the non-thumb sides of my palms are sore as hell for some resaon, my right leg felt like it was going to fall off last night, and i'm constantly feeling light headed

anyone go out wednesday? was so so so nice out. but the temp dropped the second the sun did

oh, and what're the chances of getting into a 21+ show if you dont drink and arent 21

walk in behind a large group of tall people?

man that is a crazy idea that is such a bad idea, will not work

one more thing. anyone looking for a roomate?
i got 1 job and 2 cats

BUMP. Upcomign alleycats?

check there.

isnt there a 'worst day of the year' ride or something soon?

yeah, i think that's where you have to pay money to ride your bike...i mean, it's probably fun, and i'm sure they feed you too, but it doesn't sound like something i'd like.
