Sweet. I guess I'll let y'all know when the big shipment comes in. Yay bikes!
Good time last night, by the way. I'm liking the Twin Peaks weekly get together. And the beer drinking, of course. And Audrey Horne, Shelly Johnson, etc.

but still... it was a frigging cop. By the time I turned around to get a license plate # it was gone.

are there pictures? I think of heard of it, his bike got hit by a septa bus right?
Walking out of the tech center I see some dude taking a crap load of pictures of my bike. Turns out the inquirer is doing an article on safety at Temple... and my bike hanging on a fence is going to be the main picture?

Anyone have a spare pair of Sylvan pedals they'd be willing to part with for a reasonable price? Preferably track, but who am I to be picky? I just found out why my foot's been hurting. Somehow I've managed to bend the lip part of my non-track Sylvans down so the outside of my foot is riding on an uncomfortable hunk of metal. Owie. And I don't feel like paying $30 for brand spanking new ones right now. So yeah. Anyone?

POSSIBLE THEFT THWARTED BY RYAND!
this rules.
Ryan just called me because he saw a suspicious situation where a kid was carrying an alumimum track bike near 8th and dickinson with a pretzel and crossbones sticker. i recognized the bike from the description as Blayer's Langster and called him to see if it had been stolen. it turns out Blayer had just sold it to the kid Ryan saw but how cool is it that we could have recovered the bike that easily.
lessons learned: 1) keep your eyes open and 2) wear your pretzel and crossbones stickers with pride.
