Almost enough to get me to go to the movie theatre.




Almost.

Did you watch Passengers? I thought that it was enjoyable enough. I think that most of those that voiced displeasure did so because they thought that it could have been better (obv), but not because it was outright bad.

Some flying things bit me if I stopped or went too slow. They might have been smaller than dragon flies.

I bought last year's riot.

Ended up with 2 pair for $90 ea. to get the size correct.

I want to read a review on these. If they're not a pile of crap, well, crap.

I got duped on the higher end since Im wide everything, and then found out too late they're a half size too small. DOH.

I'll paraphrase something an historical personage one said: I've never met a bike I didn't like.

I've never ridden a Huffy; but I'm almost positive I'd find something to love in it. I think the very first bike I ever rode (I was, 5 years old; don't remember exactly) was this really old, rusted, hand-me-down-from-a-farm-worker bike called a J. C. Higgens. I don't really know anything about them; no doubt those guys in C&V do, though. But, what I do know is that I instantly fell in love with riding bikes and have been riding ever since.

I did see that one, and I thought it was a decent rental. It was a random choice, and I went into it without any particular expectations, so I was reasonably entertained. I'd give it a 6.5 (maybe a 7)/10.

Not I. I recently ordered up a pair of these from Merry Olde. They're wonderfully elegant (if you're into Old School) and, for me, comfortable.

Another CPA they and I have worked with in the past heard I wad interviewing from the original CPA and he called them this morning before my interview and gave a glowing referral of me.

I think there may be an offer from them in the next 24 hours and it will be in line with whay I've been earning.

Hmmm I have over 20,000 miles on my current shoes, will need new ones at some point anyway. I suppose I could just get some fast ones now. What's faster?

Laces are generally faster.

Goggle goggle google and voila!

Lime green and black. Just like the TT bike. Of course they're covered anyway when I'm in full race regalia, so does it really matter? No. It does however appeal to my sense of aesthetics. :)

Nice

We put together a custom Vita Expert Carbon for a customer this spring. Roval CL40 wheelset, Di2 shifting. Racer-type that had to give up her road bike because of health issues. It was a cool build.

This. Like WF said, they eat things that would bite you.

Bike of the Day:

Handcycles. One of them was a Quickie Shark like the one below, except it has an IGH.
